Ave nocturna

He perdido mis sueños
y mi voz se ha hecho llanto
Como ave nocturna
mi vuelo es conjunto;
de días abandonados
por la luz de la aurora
y de párpados
que cansados de llorar
ya no lloran.
Perdida va mi risa
por la ciudad del lamento
y mi sed bebe el agua de ríos agotados
Soy ave que huye de su tierra y su casa
haciendo un nido albergue en un reino lejano.

Climate category, first place: The Collapse of Green

‘This drone photography captures the forest fading under the weight of extremes. Floods and droughts have silenced the eucalyptus – some fallen, some standing like ghosts. Green life turns to grey, echoing the slow loss of balance in nature.’

People & Nature category, second place: Return to the Wild

‘Capital Kiwi team members gently lifted two large kiwis from their boxes, offering a rare, intimate glimpse of these taonga before release into a 23,000-hectare sanctuary – reclaiming a home unseen for over 150 years. This photo of a precious manu being cradled speaks volumes, capturing the deep care, reverence, and hope.’

Heads up for those who, like me, worry about giving or receiving COVID-19 and flu: The new version of the Aptitude molecular test (for both COVID and flu) is now available at retail. It requires a re-usable reader and somewhat pricy single-use test, but is more sensitive than the rapid tests (comparable to a PCR lab test).

shop.aptitudemedical.com/

I've been using the COVID version for a couple years. Expensive, but useful when I'm feeling under the weather or going to visit vulnerable friends.

Plants & Fungi category, first place: Pluteus’ Fireflies

‘The endearing species Pluteus Velutinornatus with its velvety, mottled cap, almost animal like with lovely dark lined gills giving them so much dimension. I find myself greeting them with an audible “hello”. ... just catching the shifting sunlight through the forest. Holding domain over moss heads like tiny firefly.’

Lands category, first place: Winjana Gorge

‘The clear night skies in national park of Western Australia are incredible. The landscape is dramatic displaying the vibrant red rocks that overpower the landscape. Looking south to the Polaris star, the night sky moves slowly from dusk to dawn. Capturing the essence of the Australian night sky took more than 600 photos to show the movement of light in the night sky.’

Water category, second place: I C E P O P

‘Would you believe me if I told you that in the natural world, it’s unusual for things to not glow? Everything. You, me, flowers, rocks, your dog, your goldfish – even water. We call the living stuff that does it . This is how much of the natural world sees itself – awash in the most garish and self-indulgent colours, but our weak human eyes never get to experience it. Imagine if we did.’

Wildlife category, second place: Double Breach

‘Two giant, school bus-sized, blubbery whales, sometimes weighing up to 40,000 kilograms, coordinated a jump at the same time. I took this image off the coast of Lennox Head, northern NSW, this winter, Saturday 5 July. We call it the humpback highway; every day you can see whales jumping. This was a rare opportunity to capture two at the same time.’

Climate category, third place: Bleached

‘An unprecedented heatwave struck the coast of Western Australia during the summer of 2024-2025. We headed out to document the worst coral bleaching event ever recorded on the Ningaloo reef. White skeletons of suffering corals swept far beyond what our eyes could see. An estimated 60-80% of our reef was bleaching before our eyes.’

Fascinating Particle Physics: Quarks, Neutrinos, the Higgs Boson and the Riddles of the Universe by Philip Bechtle et al, 2025

This book bridges the gap between the known facts about the microcosmic world and the many open questions about the fundamental structure of matter and the Universe. Even if you don’t have much of a math background but would like to delve deeper into the subject, this is the book for you.






This book provides an engaging overview of exciting topics in particle physics. It combines fascinating facts with a mix of vivid images and educational text, carefully arranged so that each topic is thoroughly explored within a self-contained double-page spread. The book covers both experiments and discoveries, as well as theoretical concepts and methods. You'll learn how particle accelerators work, appreciate the beauty behind the theories of particle physics, and discover how the history and structure of the Universe are intricately connected to the properties of elementary particles and forces. Step by step, you'll also learn how to extract relevant information from vast amounts of data. Join us on a journey of discovery from the foundations of modern particle physics through exciting developments in basic research to applications that are indispensable in our daily lives.

Israeli violence in West Bank is spiraling

Violence is out of control in the occupied West Bank, and the few covering it are being assaulted.

In the West Bank, record levels of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians are unfolding with little mainstream coverage. The few journalists who try to report on it often face attacks themselves.

When the violence is covered, the settlers are often framed as fringe actors, despite clear backing from the Israeli state.

How the olive harvest in Palestine suffers under occupation

Palestinians’ olive harvest is a significant economic pillar in the occupied West Bank, supporting income for more than 100,000 families in some years.

But the olive industry faces mounting threats – from increased Israeli restrictions on farmland access to a surge in attacks by Israeli settlers.
