This week I learnt that nurse sharks have a very slow metabolism and that means they spend the majority of their time asleep. Or, as a member of aquarium staff put it, they are salary thieves that rest all day and only get up once the visitors have gone home.

@cpkimber Haha! I imagine that must be the Black Drongo Brewery, I’ve heard of them, but never imbibed.
I wonder if they’d give me half price for my blue magpie fly-by.

I was walking through Hengchun town at night and happened to look up to spot this black drongo perched on a wire. It seemed to be feasting on something rather large and with weird antenna. I stopped and stared and after a while realised that the antenna were in fact little feet. It was cannibalising one of its own. It had a tiny dead chick in its claws and was tearing off chunks of feather and flesh.

@Adventurer Yes. The ones on this tree are old, but a couple of years ago, I actually saw them creating these marks on a different tree.

MOUNT DAWULUN (大武崙山)

This short trail in Keelung’s Zhongshan District has a little bit of lots of things. It’s a historic trail. It takes you through an old fort. It includes one of Taiwan’s Xiao Bai Yue. And in the right weather, it can end with a dip in the sea and snacks by the beach.

@ericphelps Thanks! I was also struck by the oddly pleasing arrangement of such mundane items. Temples often provide photogenic examples of this.
