Guilherme Ramos discovered Foeniculum sanguineum for Portuguesa flora on August 2023. Yesterday I recorded a couple of them close to the area I live in Lisbon district. I couldn’t be more happy to see this one for the 1st time 🍀🌸

Happy #WorldMigratoryBirdDay !🐦🪶

To our marvel, twice a year, billions of migratory birds embark on amazing journeys across the world. But they face many man-made threats, like intense city lights that often disorient them.

Let’s help protect their journey and dim the lights!

We recently discovered the gorgeous lemony yellow-flowered Orchis pallens hidden under forest canopy in Föhrenberge Nature Park near Vienna; it had a faint lemony smell to match the flower colour, an amazing spring surprise in the shade after a long trek @goncalosbotany @Rita_csf

Watch closely and find the fluffiest rodent you will ever meet in the middle of a city ❤️ Not your tipical setting as @goncalosbotany and I set out to see this tiny critically endangered species at the Vienna Central Cemetery but still, a glorious find. Cricetus cricetus 🐹

Spiranthes spirales and my big fluffy dog 💕 Saw it for the first time late last month and now I keep finding them everywhere around Lisbon. What a perfect welcome to the new season 🍃

Como muitas outras invasoras no nosso país, esta espécie compete com as espécies nativas por espaço e recursos essenciais como a água 💧

[Rita Ferreira @Rita_csf]

A caminho da Gare do Oriente, terrenos cobertos por esta espécie invasora em Portugal, conhecida como erva-das-pampas (Cortaderia selloana) 💔
