This seems relevant today.

@Gauldblimeyjet @InesCatry @rolieiro It surely looks like a herald of spring. Though, both species, Diplotaxis catholica and Chamaemelum fuscatum, usually flower from Nov/Dec to early spring.

@afonso_dr_rocha @RamsarConv Este ano parece haver uma proporção anormal de Phycol a vocalizar um chamento atípico. Poderá tratar-se de um influxo de uma população diferente da habitual (?). Nas biometrias recolhidas haverá alguma situação anómala?

@Lcollurio @BioDataJournal Já tenho mais um entretém para os próximos tempos :). Achar alguns destes cromos de 8 patas!

I like to say anything is possible when it comes to migrant birds but WHAT THE ...

@evoPAA @StoriaNaturale That's a special creature it even has an additional set of tusks! 😁

Didn't achieve the checklist-a-day challenge. But manage to do 1000 complete checklist throughout this year. #eBird

[hlousa @hnlousa]

Game's on!
2022 checklist-a-day challenge on #ebird.
Likely achievable by #lowcarbonbirding on your walk around the block.

[hlousa @hnlousa]

Also trying to reach 1000 complete checklists a year.
So far so good.

[hlousa @hnlousa]

Extremely important on nowadays online world. Don't fall for BS.

🧬 Ever seen one of those pseudo-science videos telling you how “Physics is fun”? The @Observers Truth or Fake team investigated and found that these videos are often #fake – and they’re the thin end of a wedge of disinformation. @cfbennett2 and @PicPedant explain ⤵️

Vídeo de José Luis Murcia. A bordo del buque oceanográfico Ángeles Alvariño, el 16/9/21 a las 6:30 h. A 120 kilómetros, mar adentro al norte de Santander: lavanderas boyeras (Motacilla flava) en migración, de Gran Bretaña, rumbo a la península.

A Dutch scientist has uncovered old recordings of a musk duck mimicking the phrase, ‘You bloody fool!’ – learnt when it was raised by humans in an Australian bird park https://t.co/46wa9EZSrh 🦆💬

After a couple of months breeding in an area without GSM coverage, this grey plover sent us some data! It is now on its way back to the Tagus Estuary.

5000 km: bee line distance between the wintering and breeding grounds of this individual.

Day 8
In the last few days we had plenty of dark skies, rain and wind resulting in lower bird activity. Nevertheless we're able to add 4 new species to 2021's lockdown list.

Ironically, #Lisbon holds the banner of @EU_GreenCapital, which was awarded also due to its proximity with the Tagus estuary Nature Reserve. A protected area that will be DISRUPTED BY AIRCRAFTS FLYING BELOW 200 METERS, if the #airport is built…

Living on a health planet should be a human right. Just signed a petition aiming to make it happen.

Day 8 to 13 of home vacation. Birding trip is going better than expected, despite bad weather, it was still possible to make new additions to the house window list!
