A friend texted me that he saw some mallards with the "wrong" colors in the local park where they hang out - off we go! Turns out it's probably some cross-breeding with tame breeds(?) and other duck breeds visiting. Always loved their emerald green heads :)

Thankfully, the weather hasn’t gotten too cold yet, so I’ve still been able to take some pictures of the wildlife around me. How lucky I am to be able to cherish these moments for a little bit longer.

Also went to APOPO Visitor Center! Cambodia has a very dark history and cus of that millions of landmines litter the country. That's why APOPO is there, using rats to help safely detect them for removal. And they get some banana as a reward too!

Took Camden for a walk to see the scarecrows set up for the fall festival and also picked up a book from the book vending machine at the library. He tried out the rope course at the park too and I found a few pieces of trash for my trash haul.

Went to Beekse Bergen zoo this week, which is an EAZA accredited zoo. It was nice to see and with the knowledge I got from the Alveus streams it was really cool to spot things I would normally not notice/know. Sadly the pics arent the best since my phone cam sucks o7

Went to Cambodia 2 years ago, one of the places I visited was the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biology (ACCB). Their mission is to protect and conserve Cambodia's ecosystems and educate locals and tourists about their importance. If you're ever in Siem Reap do pay them a visit!
