6/12 Iris returns with the fish at 18:05. Chick 1 gets another feeding while Clark remains with the family. Clark leaves at 18:17, and Iris settles down over the trio. #HellgateOsprey
@ZwartblesIE I was caught by dusk and then darkness on a bicycle tour in early April, and it was a bit eerie alone on the empty streets without streetlamps only bicycle light - so I was very glad for the thrushes and robins that kept me company even long after sunset.
Hello!

16:21, 5/30 Oh, the techniques we can learn. Iris circles NG2 twice, tightening the circle the second time as she bumps his tail feathers, causing him to rise.
Bonus- a sound of NG2's wing (s) as he leaves.

@CeliaBedelia They also have two observation towers in the area, but those are closed at the moment, but according to postings on the tower itself they should be reopened in autumn 2026 🔗

@CeliaBedelia Maybe you might want to add the Great Bustard (Großtrappe) on your list! They have a protected area between Nennhausen & Buschow (western direction of Berlin). I was there recently and was lucky enough to see a male displaying, unfortunately with the protective fence in front.
@CeliaBedelia I've seen both Bee-eaters and hoopoe south of Berlin, in the area between Beelitz, Teltow and Zossen, approximately. I was on bicycle tours, and I have seen both only once there, so it's not a sure thing. I heard a lot of hoopoes in the area between Kamenz & Lauta in spring.
@CeliaBedelia@chrisinthebooks This morning I found this clinical guide pdf on reddit about the connection of ADHD/Autism with different medical conditions, maybe it's of interest! 🔗

Weingärten werden in Österreich zunehmend ökologisch bewirtschaftet. Einst rar gewordene Vogelarten wie der Wiedehopf und die Dohle finden hier nun wieder Insekten. Der Trend zum Biowein verschaffte der Artenvielfalt somit indirekt einen Aufwind.

My favourite variant of “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” is a colloquial (and extremely rare) Swedish phrase that goes kasta inte bäver i trähus. It means “do not throw beavers in wooden houses.”
Iris the Osprey, one of the world's oldest known breeding ospreys, returned to her nest on April 6 at 6:52. She has visited the site several times since. Watch the cam zoom in as she perches before flying to the nest to spruce up some sticks. https://t.co/CnObVhYHIm
