Nature this week
Find out what nature is currently doing around you.
Nature This Week stitches together iNaturalist sighting data and Wikipedia species notes to tell you what’s actually happening in your local patch of the world right now — which butterflies are hatching, which bats are on the wing — cross-checked against the current weather and season.
Punch in where you are and you get a small, specific window into your own ecology. Here in Aotearoa the first kōwhai are coming into flower, and the tūī are travelling in to gorge on the nectar. It turns a walk around the block into a bit of fieldwork, and reminds you how much is going on out there without any of us necessarily noticing.
