    Which Place Is Best for a 4-Day Trip in India? Top Destinations for a Short Vacation in 2026-27

    India is one of the few countries where a four-day trip can deliver an extraordinary mix of history, wildlife, culture, luxury, and adventure.

    Tenperatures were reaching 37/38 C, and it's very dry there. The reserve has a small dam, but no other open water. The #MurrayRiver is about 40 km to the south.

    But the #insects that appeared at night were primarily #freshwater species - lots of #CaddisFlies (#Trichoptera), #Chironomidae and #BackSwimmers (#Notonectidae).

    There were also LOTS of #microbats everywhere, and the stars were incredible.

  4. Have you ever seen a mallee emu-wren (Stipiturus mallee)? This sweet little bird is a Triodia spinifex specialist, using the spiky, tussock-forming grass as shelter from predators and a safe site to nest and forage!

  5. Pigeon photobomb, Brighton seafront, UK.

    Incredibly lucky, unintended, genuine pigeon shot. Pigeon flies into centre frame as pic is taken. Exactly between two railings. Only edit is slight sharpening.

    I always follow back, and really appreciate boosts
