Today is the United Nations World Wildlife Day, a time to celebrate and raise awareness of the living world around us. Asia: Among teak and bamboo thickets, a winding forest road takes us deeper into the enchanted Snake Jungle, but alas, not a Tiger in sight. What are your best wildlife moments?

Further down the road, we reach a derelict building with a large veranda hidden among the trees – an abandoned hunting lodge (if I were in a situation to invest, I would choose to upgrade this into a luxury wildlife lodge). Well, one reason might be – this animal is not only endangered, but even rarer than the Tiger!

You may have read about Kikinda in the Wall Street Journal or the BBC Wildlife Magazine. These are overgrown in steppe grasses and local sheep herders are subsidised by the authorities to bring their animals here to keep the grass short, prevent succession by bushes and manage the habitat. Alas, I am not among them.

Alas, those sightings will be for another time as the weather had thrown a spanner in the works: half a meter of snow had closed off our intended destination. After a pleasant morning with ducks, crisp snow and sunshine, we followed the wildlife trail on our way out. All bird and animal pictures are Brad’s.

Alas, this wasn’t to be our time for that rarity, but the trail certainly delivered honeyeaters. I talked to an American visitor from Hawaii who had brought his wildlife-mad son along. First off was a typical honeyeater for the park, an Eastern Spinebill.
