Indonesia's Illegally Traded Owls
Owls for sale are displayed outside their cage at the bird market in Malang, East Java Province, Indonesia, on September 8, 2025. Indonesia is home to 45 species of owls, many of which appear in markets. Scops owls (Otus spp.) are among the most numerous and frequently traded, being smaller and typically less expensive. However, larger species like Barn Owls (Tyto alba), Oriental Bay Owls (Phodilus badius), Buffy Fish Owls (Ketupa ketupu), as well as Wood-owls, Eagle-owls, and Fish-owls, are also increasingly seen. Estimates from a ResearchGate study indicate that about 12,000 Scops owls and 1,000 larger owls are sold annually in Indonesian bird markets, a figure the study suggests involves a significant number of wild-caught birds.

'On a Rising Tide' book documents dolphins in Scotland, Moray Firth, Scotland, Britain - 2015
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/r1ll
A stunning new book depicts the amazing spectacle of dolphins in Scotland.
'On a Rising Tide' showcases the incredible photography of Charlie Phillips, who documents the antics of dolphins in the Moray Firth for Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC).
Many of his pictures show the acrobatic antics of six individuals in particular: the stars of WDC's adopt a dolphin scheme which helps protect dolphins in Scotland from oil and gas activity and industrial development.
Over the years Charlie has taken hundreds of thousands of pictures of them and these images play a crucial part in monitoring the condition of this population and adding to our understanding of their lives and behaviour.
"I hope the book will provide encouragement to come and see for themselves to those able to make the journey and an 'armchair travellers' guide for those who can't."
'On a Rising Tide' is released 29 October 2015.

With Saturday (25 April) being World Penguin Day, wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein has shared some of his favourite pictures of the aquatic, flightless birds.
Wimbledon-based Paul, who guides for Exodus Travels, has led many expeditions to the poles on small ice-breakers, so has had great opportunites to document penguin behaviour.
He explains: "I love the polar bears of the North but there is something magical about the penguins down South that entrance me. Yes it can be a mission to get there but it is palpably worth it.

Young scientists plan an epic three-year underwater odyssey to explore extraordinary creatures, Marmaris, Turkey - 16 May 2014

Marine Specialists Launch Three-Year Underwater Odyssey
Marine Specialists Launch Three-Year Underwater Odyssey
A team of 12 young scientists have announced their plans to attempt an epic three-year, underwater journey to explore the world's oceans.
Expedition Aquatilis will cover 35,000 miles spanning the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans to discover more information on stinging water-dwellers and other gelationous zooplankton.
These creatures, otherwise known as gelata, are vital to the health of the Earth's ecosystems, since they form the basis of the marine food chain - fish, crustaceans and marine mammals, such as whales, depend on smaller gelata as a food source.
Science currently knows of only about 1000 species of gelata which is an estimated mere 20% of all such creatures in the world.
This lack of knowledge is explained by how difficult it is to study gelata in laboratories, mainly because their fragile bodies tend to fall apart when removed from the ocean.
The team, which is dominated by Russians, is led by marine biologist and underwater photographer Alexander Semenov, whose previous pictures illustrate what intriguing creatures the team is likely to encounter.
They will be travelling in a 70 ft custom-built, self-sufficient expedition vessel, and are scheduled to depart from Marmaris, Turkey in the summer of 2015.
Along the way the team will visit the Azore Islands, Portugal to the Caribbean Basin; on to Brazil and Argentina; Cape Horn, heading North past Chile and Peru, then towards California and San Francisco Bay.
From there they will make their way to the Trash Islands towards Hawaii; through Oceania towards New Zealand; past the Great Barrier Reef towards Papaua New Guinea; Philippines to Indonesia, Sri Lanka; Indian Ocean Islands, past Madagascar; Cape Town, rounding the W...

Georgia On My Mind: The Wildlife of South Georgia by Paul Goldstein
A British photographer has captured the majesty of the wildlife inhabitants of South Georgia.
Paul Goldstein, a tour guide for Exodus, shot these impressive images last month on the remote and inhospitable island in southern Atlantic Ocean.
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is a British overseas territory 964 miles (1551km) east of the Falkland Islands.
Guiding an exclusive charter, Wimbledon-based Paul was able to record what he describes as "a wildlife nirvana".
Highlights include images of adorable elephant seal pups as well as juvenile king penguins caught in the rain.
"No-one arrives here by accident", Paul says "not only is it a long way from anywhere, it is also lashed by some of the most 'lively' seas in the world. However, when you bear in mind the incredible legacy of Shackleton and many other heroic explorers as well as the whaling history, it is fascinating historically.
"It is also very beautiful with huge tumbling glaciers as well as towering mountains. But it is the wildlife that brings me and other back. Six million King Penguins cannot be wrong and those young elephant seals (weeners) are very endearing until they get older and fall out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down."
"A hundred people, probably one million pictures and one or two grown-up waves! Remarkable, the best places are always the hardest to get to."
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands consists of South Georgia and a chain of smaller islands, known as the South Sandwich Islands. South Georgia is 104 miles (167.4 km) long and 0.9 to 23.0 miles (1.4...

Georgia On My Mind: The Wildlife of South Georgia by Paul Goldstein
A British photographer has captured the majesty of the wildlife inhabitants of South Georgia.
Paul Goldstein, a tour guide for Exodus, shot these impressive images last month on the remote and inhospitable island in southern Atlantic Ocean.
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is a British overseas territory 964 miles (1551km) east of the Falkland Islands.
Guiding an exclusive charter, Wimbledon-based Paul was able to record what he describes as "a wildlife nirvana".
Highlights include images of adorable elephant seal pups as well as juvenile king penguins caught in the rain.
"No-one arrives here by accident", Paul says "not only is it a long way from anywhere, it is also lashed by some of the most 'lively' seas in the world. However, when you bear in mind the incredible legacy of Shackleton and many other heroic explorers as well as the whaling history, it is fascinating historically.
"It is also very beautiful with huge tumbling glaciers as well as towering mountains. But it is the wildlife that brings me and other back. Six million King Penguins cannot be wrong and those young elephant seals (weeners) are very endearing until they get older and fall out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down."
"A hundred people, probably one million pictures and one or two grown-up waves! Remarkable, the best places are always the hardest to get to."
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands consists of South Georgia and a chain of smaller islands, known as the South Sandwich Islands. South Georgia is 104 miles (167.4 km) long and 0.9 to 23.0 miles (1.4...

Dalmatian pelicans fighting over fish discarded by fishermen on Lake Kerkini, Macedonia, Greece - 2012

Pugilist Pelicans
With the offer of free fish on the line these pugilist pelicans didn't pull their punches.
Really causing the feathers to fly, the birds turned to violence in an effort to establish a pecking order.
The Dalmatian Pelicans were seen getting into a flap after fishermen discarded some of their catch on Lake Kerkini in Macedonia, Greece.
Photographer Bill Coster captured the moment the birds came to blows in their attempts to snap up the free lunch.
And the hungry flock used their distinctive orange beaks to good effect as they battled it out with what appeared to be an avian form of arm wrestling.
As news about the fishy feast spread more and more pelicans joined the brawl until every available morsel had been swallowed.
Dalmatian Pelicans are one of the largest living bird species, with a wingspan of 9ft 6in-11ft 6in.
Having such a vast frame means they are required to consume a massive 1,200 g (2.6 lb) of fish per day.
Lake Kerkini is an artificial reservoir that was created in 1932.
Today it is considered to be the premier birding site in Greece, and is situated along an important flyway for migratory birds.
The lake is particularly well known for its pelican population, both Dalmatian and White.
The Pelicans winter and breed on the lake using platforms specially built for them.
