Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling

A large, ancient tree trunk is covered in vibrant green moss. The tree has a gnarled appearance with many thick branches extending outwards. Beyond it is another similar tree. All the trees are leafless.

A sepia coloured page with two adult coots, one standing and one floating on the water. A coot chick is running towards the floating adult with its tiny wings flapping and beak open. Its parent is calm and sedate, floating on the water.
It's #worldwildlifeday and here are a group of beautiful coots, drawn by illustrator E. H. Shepard.
Shepard, best known for his illustrations for 'Winnie-the-Pooh', often made studies of wildlife in his sketchbooks.
