I spent the weekend visiting #NationalParks outside #Bogotá, #Colombia, mainly for #birds. There was plenty of rain, and the light wasn't great, but it was wonderful to explore new ecosystems (Páramo and Bosque Alto-Andino) and see some distinctive species.

Andean #Condor (one of two soaring and then on a cliff in #Chingaza NP)

Female Torrent #Duck (#BosqueGuajira Reserva Natural)

Boyaca #Antpitta (#Sumapaz NP)

Traveling to #Bogotá from #Canberra, I got around to watching the first few episodes of #ThePenguin. I'd stalled previously part way through episode 1, but I'm now gripped.

Episode 4, which goes into Sofia Falcone's past is a brutal portrayal of how much power the ultra-rich have in a corrupt society to disappear anyone they find inconvenient.

It's particularly frightening in a world where our societies expand incarceration and pay less and less lip-service to due process.
