Hazards such as runway incursions, runway excursions, and in-flight loss of control, are appropriately well documented and emphasised within aviation safety literature given their catastrophic potential. Less well known, yet operationally significant, is Abnormal Runway Contact (ARC), a category of hazardous events encompassing tail strikes, nose-wheel-first contacts, and hard landings.
For migratory waterbirds, winter is not simply a season—it is a test. The quality of wetlands, rivers, estuaries, and agricultural fields during the non-breeding season can determine survival, body condition, and ultimately breeding success thousands of kilometres away. Yet despite the importance of wintering grounds, long-term national assessments remain rare.

A few years ago, I found a parasite in my armpit. It was the larva of a blowfly, and I knew pretty well what it was, based on where I’d gotten it – or at least I thought I did. Kibale National Park, Uganda, is known internationally for its diversity of nonhuman primates and among smaller circles for its high frequency of furuncular myiasis, a condition caused by parasitic fly larvae burrowing into the skin of a host.
