The Pūteketeke: New Zealand's Bird of the Century.

The votes are in, and after two bruising weeks of voting in New Zealand's Bird of the Century, we have a new champion. It carries its young on its back, which is very cute. It enjoys grunting, growling, and barking, as one does. It possesses an elaborate set of mating rituals, including "the weed dance" and "the ghostly penguin," which is great. It has a colorful mullet—j'adore le style. It has a propensity for vomiting. It is, in other words, a worthy champion. Its name is the Australasian crested grebe, otherwise known as the pūteketeke, and we think you're gonna get on just *great*.

If you want to do your bit to help these beautiful creatures, Forest & Bird ask bird enthusiasts to donate an old predator trap through Give a Trap, or add your voice to their collective call-to-action for birds in New Zealand. You can support Forest & Bird directly right here. In the meantime, we have gathered, for your viewing pleasure, a carefully-curated selection of content in tribute to the top five contenders from the #bird of the century election. Every last one a winner.

Live, love, laugh. Grunt, dance, puke x

Behind the Scenes of Day of the Doctor (Part 17)

Excerpts from the Radio Times Doctor Who 50th Anniversary issue (23-29 November 2013):

[ Discussing David Tennant's déjà vu about returning to the role after 4 years away ] The eerie sense of familiarity only increases, however, when he's asked what he's allowed to tell us about this episode. "I can't tell you a thing," he offers apologetically. "That is what I remember about Doctor Who more than anything. People want to talk to you about it more than anything else and you can say absolutely nothing." "Or we just lie," interjects Matt Smith, who, at this point - in April - is sitting on the secret that he is about to quit the show and usher in the era of Capaldi. "Well, to be honest, everyone thinks I've been lying furiously," replies Tennant, a touch shamefacedly, recalling earlier denials that he would appear in this episode. "I suppose I've told a couple of white lies, but until quite recently this was all a bit up in the air, so I haven't been lying quite as hard as everybody thinks.

Whenever I do a TMA s1 relisten I love love love finding things that ended up changing over the next few seasons as the show became more fully fleshed out. Tim being serious and Sasha being the joker? Iconic. Whatever the fuck entity was leaving bags of doll heads and prayers on some random doorstep? Who even are you. How could you do that. What’s your number.

Anyway I need more of these to keep going thanks
