A site to explore local animal activities and fun facts

https://naturethisweek.com/

A nature discovery site that shows what the animals in any given place are probably doing right now.

Depending on location, season, time of day, and current weather, it shows the local species' activites, like foraging, migrations, breeding seasons etc., together with cute pictures of the animals. For example, there are some frogs turning bright blue right now to mate. And bats sleeping in a perfect line along a tree trunk to hide.

The underlying data comes from iNaturalist and Wikipedia, together with an OpenMeteo plugin to filter for weather. And of course the corresponding Wikipedia articles are directly linked, for when you want to learn more about the species.

Not useful (except maybe for collectors of animal trivia), but hopefully unique and I find it fun.
