Closed-captioned seal has me screaming.
mibph! AAAAAAAA! fibsh!! brehh!

(I have no idea how to alt-text this, it's a video of an arctic seal on the ice making all kinds of noises, which someone attempted to caption in a language unknown to humans.)

(It’s been suggested to me that maybe all it wants is to be left alone for a nap, which is very likely, OR maybe it's trying to warn us of some impending natural disaster? Like the entire Arctic ice cap melting? They know).

This is a totally random share today, as I step through some images from my time west of Alice Springs last year.

There was this moment in Ormiston Gorge when I spent ten minutes with a Dusky Grass Wren and it was just marvellous.
