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. Whether you dream of standing before the iconic Taj Mahal, spotting Bengal tigers in the wild, exploring royal palaces, or experiencing luxury travel, India offers countless options for a memorable short getaway. But with so many destinations to choose from, travelers often ask: Which place is best for a 4-day trip in India? The answer depends on […]

Great Cormorant Colony

Great Cormorants are the largest cormorant in Australia and are also found in other parts of the world.

They live at places of permanent freshwater as well as coastal inlets and estuaries.

These birds can often be seen diving to catch fish then later perched somewhere with their wings outstretched to dry.

I happened to accidentally come across a small colony of great cormorants when taking a wander around Queechy Lake in Launceston, Tasmania. There were chicks in nests on a little island in the lake which was surprising seeing as it was the middle of May and almost the end of autumn.

Here are a couple of photos of Queechy Lake. You can see the little island full of dead trees and shrubs.

Here’s a photo of the nests.

And here are some photos of the chicks.

And finally, here’s a video of the chicks being fed.

Until next time,

Finally installed 9 nesting boxes for the common swift! / Endlich haben wir 9 Mauersegler Nistkästen installiert.

If you look to the right, you will see a stove vent hole. For about six years, this hole has served as a nest for a pair of common swifts. The same pair has returned from Africa every year since then. Their nest was very small, so we bought them a couple of luxury apartments. The first swifts are expected to arrive from Africa on or after 15 April. I'm excited to see their reaction!

Auf der rechten Seite seht ihr ein Loch einer E-Herd-Entlüftung. Seit etwa sechs Jahren diente diese Loch einem Paar Mauerseglern als Nistplatz. Seitdem kehrt dasselbe Paar jedes Jahr aus Afrika zurück. Da das Nest sehr klein war, haben wir ein paar Luxuswohnungen besorgt. Die ersten von den Mauerseglern kehren ab dem 15. April aus Afrika zurück. Ich bin gespannt auf die Reaktion!

Bird lifen järjestämä koulujen ja varhaiskasvatuksen pihabongausviikko alkaa tänään.
Omien lasten koulussa ja päiväkodissa tämä huomioidaan hyvin.

Minä järjestän töissä koko päiväkodin pihabongauksen, jossa varmasti näkee lintuja, koska voi bongailla myös laminoituja lintuja päiväkodin pihalla. Jokaisen linnun takana on sen nimi. Jos aika ja taidot olisivat riittäneet, olisi voitu liittää vielä qr-koodilla linnun ääni.
Lisäksi vien osan omaa ryhmää bongausretkelle metsään (arvioisin bongausajan näillä pienillä olevan n. 15min) ja ohjeistan muut ryhmän aikuiset, jotta he voivat bongata muiden lasten kanssa pihassa tai lähiympäristössä.
Kaikille osallistujille on tulostettu Bird lifen sivuilta diplomit.

Lisäksi osallistetaan vanhempia laittamalla eteiseen lintubingo, johon saa pienellä tähtitarralla merkata bongaamansa linnut.
Lapset myös värittävät omat lintubingot, joita voi hyödyntää kotona, jos tahtoo.

I just spent three nights camping at #BirdLife Australia's #Gluepot Reserve in the #mallee of #SouthAustralia.

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).

This video shows the insects attracted to a #LepiLED UV light. If these mostly originated down at the river, the insect #biomass streaming up across this region (wind-blown?) is absolutely staggering.

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

This pair of rainbow lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus) seem to be finding it hard to get out of bed and face the rainy day ahead! 🦜🌧️

Lorikeets make cosy homes in hollow-bearing trees, which can take hundreds of years to form and are a hot commodity – more than 300 native animals rely on hollows to nest, breed, shelter and feed.
