Unexpected find, not common in the area! Checking the Dabchicks finally paid off, and I managed to approach quite close to this individual. October Big Day 2024.

Found in a small rock cairn near the northern edge of Inuit Qeqertaat (Kaffeklubben Island) (Google, OSM)Description
We encountered this stoat while searching for the northern limits of terrestrial plant life in July of 2023. It was living in a small rock cairn near the northern edge of Inuit Qeqertaat (Kaffeklubben Island) which was connected to the mainland by about 1.6km of sea ice.
NOTE ON MAP: iNaturalist and Google do not have accurate maps of the north coast of Greenland. The GPS location of this sighting is precise. I have also uploaded a screenshot of a drone map of the island showing where this location actually is (it's not in the ocean!)

the kōura weren't very cooperative, but I have improved a bit on photos of these weirdos now that I know they exist. They do seem to simply be everywhere, it's just a matter of knowing in order to spot then

Korero Gecko (Woodworthia otago southland large)Observer
tonyjewellDescription
Abundant in the foliage of flax and sedges at night, a few seen in rock crevices, but not seen under driftwood. Great to see a primarily arboreal population free from any predatory mammals and absolutely thriving. Often wrongly typecast as rock-dwellers, this southern lineage was once almost entirely arboreal, rocks are more of a last resort for survival amidst deforestation and predatory mammals.

dbeadleDescription
Male Reeves's Pheasant. Photographed at Dongzhai Forest Reserve, Henan Province, China on 18 January 2019. This was undoubtedly one of the main highlights of our time in eastern China. The male didn't arrive until quite (17:45 hrs) and the light was definitely fading fast! After a while three females joined him and he fluffed himself up a bit in order to impress, as one does! It's an impressive bird... Endemic to north central China. Monotypic.

Native bush, in wet plant litter among fallen Nikau fronds.
Body length 37 mm.(antennae not included)
Probably unnamed. I would call it Peripatoides aff. indica or P. aff. aurorbis.
Absolutely splendid & my very best find in 2022.
I am still crazy excited by this. The colour was literally velvet.
I released the individual after photography.
