I noticed around twenty years ago that insects in Europe were in serious decline. It didn’t even need a ‘scientific study’ and I use the same methodology today. In the 1980s, in summer, when I drove in Europe, the windscreen of my car was covered in dead insects after only 100km of driving. By the early 2000s this was no longer true. Many fewer bug-splats on the glass. Now? Hardly any at all. You cannot blame Climate Change for this. This is down to excessive pesticides and farming techniques. Now studies show bird populations in serious decline. Ever wonder what they used to eat? We learnt nothing from the DDT fiasco, apparently. #insects #flies #driving #Climate #ClimateChange #pesticides #farming #environment #Birds #bioaccumulation #systemcollapse

I came across a Kaka using its sharp pointy beak to get in under the bark of this tree. They do this to get at the larvae of wood-boring insects. Found on Ulva Island, just off Stewart Island Rakiura, last week. #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography #UlvaIsland #Aotearoa #NewZealand #Kaka

Przed południem prowadziłem warsztaty przyrodniczo - dźwiękowe w lesie łęgowym w Krakowie, a już po południu na torfowisku Puścizna Wielka na granicy Podhala i Orawy woda wlewała mi się do gumiaków. #birds #fieldrecording

"The biggest bird killer in the US (and likely, the world) is #Cats. Outdoor cats kill somewhere between 1.3 billion and 4 billion birds a year in the US alone. Let’s put it this way: for every one bird that dies in the blades of a turbine, domestic cats are dragging roughly 4,000 back to the porch." Article: The harm caused by wind turbines isn't nearly as bad as you think... https://www.zmescience.com/feature-post/technology-articles/sustainability/renewable-energy/birds-and-wind-turbines/ #Birds #Windmills

Nottinghams hotel Mercure is currently host to a building net full of dead pigeons & dying chicks who have no one to feed them. Netting so horrendous multiple corpses hang decaying &broken inside it. Email/call/shame them. Tell them you'll not be booking a room there until there is safety for wildlife to fly free. Imagjne holidaying alongside dead carcasses. Disgusting... cruel. Remember the reason city pigeons exist and why they dont deserve to be maligned. Theyre not aggressive. They eat the shit we drop.. sadly even throw up which makes me want to vomit. They are used for homing hobbyists and get lost on their hundreds of miles journey enforced call to the place they were reared. How would we feel leaving our kids abroad and saying "find your way back so we can do it again!" Sigh. I wish folk didnt hate pigeons. Stop calling them sky rats. They arent vermin. They deserve housing & safe spaces in cities and towns https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVf8iyzDDn6/ #Hotel #wildlife #birds #animalrights

Glide Over Water I saw this ring‑billed gull (Larus delawarensis) a while back, flying down the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi, keeping a steady line parallel to the shore. Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story. https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com #photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #whorebird #gull #ringbilledgull

Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️ 6 March 2026 I’m moving slow this morning—too slow. The first thing I did after getting out of bed was take a nap, at least for as long as Charlie would allow. That window of unhindered rest turned out to be thirty minutes of the hour I had set aside for exactly that purpose. I made the mistake of leaving the back door open so Charlie could see outside, which meant he could also spot squirrels in the yard. For reasons known only to him, a squirrel sighting is reason enough to start pestering me. I’ve been retired a few years now, but back when I had to get up and go to work, there were plenty of mornings—after getting cleaned up and dressed—when I fantasized about sitting down in my recliner and going right back to sleep. But I had to soldier on and get to work. On days off, I would sometimes set my alarm for the usual time just so I could turn it off and go back to sleep. I considered that one of life’s small pleasures. I think I’ve developed a touch of age‑related laziness—pigritia senilis. It sounds like something I made up, which I did, but if you look it up you’ll find a surprising amount of information. My joking around may have turned into a small science project about the physiologic changes of aging. Interestingly, I first read that as “psychotic changes,” which might not be entirely inaccurate. The forces at work include aging‑related fatigue, reduced executive function, psychomotor slowing, anergia, motivational decline, frailty syndrome, cognitive slowing, and apathy. It helps to stay active, though. I lift weights once or twice a week to keep my strength up, but I have to admit that motivational decline is noticeable. “I don’t feel old. I don’t feel anything until noon. Then it’s time for my nap.” - Bob Hope “Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened.” -Terry Pratchett #photo #photography #photographer #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #pigeons #doves
