If you take photos of ducks when the weather is too cold you can look at them when it is too hot, and vice versa, to try to trick yourself into feeling less hot/cold. It doesn't work, but you get to look at pictures of ducks.

Strong winds, especially when combined with steep and unstable edges, significantly increases the risk of falling off cliffs when visiting coastal regions.
In der Oranienbaumer Heide kann man laut #reddit Wiedehopfe (Upupa epops, 🇬🇧 Hoopoe, 🇵🇱 dudek) sehen. Das ist nicht weit von mir. Ich habe den Ort in Google Maps auf gut Glück markiert und auf geht's. Als ich dort ankam, hörte ich diesen unverwechselbaren Gesang. Wegen der Entfernung und der Lichtverhältnisse sind die Fotos nicht grandios, aber ich bin trotzdem unglaublich glücklich!
"I found that penguins differed in their reactions to being hoisted between human legs. Some were calm, mildly befuddled at how they got a foot off the ground. Others acted as if they were possessed, squirming and slapping and biting. Penguins are beefy birds, sleek bullets of swimming muscle, torpedoes of power, and they slapped impressively hard."
Hi Mastodon. I'm Mick, a wildlife guide based in Granada region of #Spain. I'm looking forward to connect with fellow birders, botanists & entomologists throughout the Fediverse.
Regularly out in the countryside of Andalucia & further afield posting info & images about my adventures & encounters with the natural world.
Here's a photo of a close encounter with Iberian Lynx I took a few years ago.
The number 1 rule of photography is to capture the things that give you joy. I went to the lake tonight, I missed the best light and thought I wouldn't get anything good. But it was warm, and peaceful and as the sun sank the water turned pink and the pied stilts came across the shore right in front of me and I thought it was beautiful so I took some photos of them and their reflections. I've had to apply some serious de-noising as these photos were taken in the almost dark and I've also taken the liberty of removing some little black splodges that were marring the mirror perfect water. I think these give a good FEEL of the serenity of the moment, although obviously I can't capture the whole experience of sunset outdoors on an unseasonably warm Autumn night. #birds #birdphotography
I set myself the task to design and print 50 birds using a custom LEGO letterpress technique. This was in 2018. Figured it would take a year or so. I finished the last print earlier this year
Presenting the complete series for the first time in an exhibiton in the workplace where the prints were made. Opening this weekend:
I love how France has both so many birds and also so many wind farms. We can build sustainable solutions that support powering our economy and a also wildlife.
Be ungovernable, like birds who make nests OUT OF ANTI-BIRD SPIKES. A new study describes resourceful Dutch & Belgian corvids besting evil architecture by stealing metal anti-bird strips and using them like thorny twigs, to construct their homes.
Like thorns, the spikes may protect their nests from predators.
A swan on what looks like a collision course – taken as I was standing, apparently in a good spot for flying over, on a hill next to the lake it took off from. It was gaining altitude faster than it was closing the distance, so this didn't feel quite as perilous as it might appear!
I like the way the crest looks on this female northern cardinal. I didn't notice the odd feather on the wing until I started processing the photograph. It makes me wonder if something happened or did, I just catch her before her all fixed up for the day. A fun thing about spring is everything turns green, a really nice background for bird photos.
Like this hummingbird, I can see the weekend from here, and it is bright and warm and shining with potential. Hope you have something awesome planned. My agenda is to read a thick book. What's yours?
