Often described as the world’s most beautiful bird, Australia’s Gouldian finch was once taken in large numbers from the wild.

Where there is water, there are birds. Time for the annual Asian Waterbird Census!

The AWC happens every January, when people count waterbirds, or birds “ecologically dependent on wetlands” (Wetlands Int. 2018). Wetlands include coasts, mangrove areas, rivers, lakes, marshes and other similar areas.

Recommended dates for counting are January 4 to 19. The following organizations are known to join the AWC by holding waterbird counts in certain areas in the Philippines. Contact them to see how you can help!

Wetlands International, Philippines

Wild Bird Club of the Philippines

Haribon Foundation

Department of Environment and Natural Resources

Guides and more information can be found at the South Asia Wetlands International website at: https://south-asia.wetlands.org/news/join-us-for-the-asian-waterbird-census-2025/

While I'm on a tumblr break, I'm attempting anime challenges on anilist. February involved creating a Valentines card, so here's my Kuroshitsuji card

I thought about another idea 😳 Hardin request, there’s a party, the reader and Hardin have a secret relationship going on and Hardin gets dared to ‘kiss the prettiest girl in the room’ to keep their secret safe he kisses Molly. The reader is heart broken but when she finds out Hardin physically vomited after the kiss because Molly wasn’t her she forgives him :)

You don't believe your own eyes. You literally can't believe what you're seeing. Because you know for a fact that Hardin did not just kiss Molly after being asked to kiss the prettiest girl in the room.

"Obviously, it was going to be me." Molly locks eyes with you and silently dares you to say something. She knows you're with Hardin even if you've both denied it several times. And she knows this is breaking your heart.

"You had some good competition, though," Zed points out, giving your hand a reassuring squeeze. Hardin narrows his eyes but keeps quiet. He doesn't have a leg to stand on after what he just did.

"You call that competition?" You don't need to hear any more of this. You didn't even want to go to the stupid party in the first place, and now look at what happened. Without even so much as glancing over at Molly or Hardin, you get up and walk outside. Thank God you decided not to drink today. You're on the road before Hardin has a chance to catch up with you. Hardin shouts a selection of curses as he watches you drive off, but you don't really care. You never would've done what he did to you.

Seven missed calls, twelve text messages, all from Hardin. But you can't even bring yourself to read them. He kissed Molly. Of all people, he kissed the one person you hate more than anything. You stumble into your dorm room and hide under your duvet. You're not sure how much time passes but eventually, he finds you. Of course, he finds you.

"Jesus Christ, you've had me worried!" he exclaims, barging in. He doesn't bother to give you a chance to deny him before he's lying in bed next to you. His strong arms wrap around you as if you're two matching puzzle pieces, and it's just about all you can do to not give into his embrace.

"You kissed her. You kissed Molly," you cry, feeling the tears sting your eyes.

"I promise you, I hated every second. As in, I literally gagged from feeling her lips on mine. The only lips I want to feel are yours." His grip tightens, and you have to admit you feel better now that you know he hated it as much as you did.

"No one compares to you. No one ever will."

"You really mean that?" you ask, feeling all your insecurities try to claw their way to the surface. He brushes a few loose strands of hair away from your face and kisses your forehead.

"With every fiber of my being. I love you and only you."
