When drinking 🧃 on the wing, swifts brake (i.e. dissipate energy) to approach water at moderate speeds. This suggests that flight safety competes with energy saving.

tu fais garder ton chien 4 jours par @Anim_hote, ça te coûte 122 €. Sais-tu combien touche le/la pet-sitter ?

Another car load of nest boxes for Save Our Suffolk Swifts from John Stimpson, I couldn’t quite squeeze enough in for one to be the 45,000th one he has now made. We have free Community Sets available for prominent elevations of public buildings @suffolkwildlife @SuffolkBirdGrp

@OpenAI how can my 12 yo, who has a smartphone only to discuss with school friends, access your pitiful plagiarism app through whatsapp ?
Should I forbid her to use @WhatsApp alltogeter, and get away from her real friends ? You both are a danger to society and families.

Would anybody that has a copy of the Bird Atlas 2007-11 accept to send a picture of the pages on common swift ? This book is difficult to locate in France, and I just need to identify a reference within the text. Thanks a lot ! @bandbswifts @SheffSwiftNet @SoSSwifts

@PaulC04 Beautiful designs, but can we talk about telephoto lenses and perspective ?

L'heure est venue pour moi de vous dire au revoir ici. Merci tout le monde pour les échanges merveilleux, mais ce réseau est devenu trop toxique, j'ai donc décidé de migrer vers d'autres cieux. J'espère que beaucoup d'autres personnes suivront. Voici donc un dernier thread👇

After years, I finally got the location & timing right to photograph California tiger salamanders underwater as they return to seasonal ponds to breed. I believe mine are the 1st images of adult wild CTS taken underwater.

🇬🇧The buffalo carpet beetle (Anthrenus scrophulariae), also known as the common carpet beetle, can retract its head and antennae into a recess in the pronotum. It is a feared visitor in the large insect collections of museums. Its larvae can eat through entire insect boxes and thus destroy valuable collections.

🇩🇪Der Braunwurz-Blütenkäfer (Anthrenus scrophulariae), auch Teppichkäfer genannt, kann seinen Kopf mitsamt den Fühlern in eine passgerechte Vertiefung im Halsschild zurückziehen. In den großen Insektensammlungen der Museen ist er ein gefürchteter Besucher. Seine Larven können sich durch ganze Insekten-kästen fressen und so wertvolle Sammlungen zerstören.
