Today is #WorldOceanDay ! 🌊 Seabirds navigate vast, predictable marine flyways – superhighways in the sky – across the open ocean, linking nations, ecosystems and hemispheres.🌏 Six marine flyways are used by more than 150 migratory seabird species.🗺️📍 Find out more👉 www.seabirdtracking.org

Cuckoo chicks hatch early and throw out the competition...literally. Raised alone by unwitting foster parents, they grow fast, rapidly dwarfing their much smaller hosts. Like this little Reed Warbler, just doing its best. 👇 #SpringStories

Mr Linnet certainly brightened up a dull day this week as he perched near me, not that he looked very happy having his photo taken! ☺️📷🪶 Happy Friday everyone 👋🕊️ #BirdOfTheDay #LookingAtYou #Birds #Photography #Nature #ECK

#HiddeninPlainSight is the #BirdoftheDay theme, and if I hadn't seen this Black-crowned Night Heron fly into the tree I don't think I'd have expected to see it there. #Birds 🪶 #eck

I cannot begin to tell you how FURIOUS I am about this. We are disgustingly careless with all wildlife - let alone these magical birds www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tirana, Albania, right now. Well done to citizens speaking out against the illegal destruction of the Narta lagoon and Vjosa delta. Heart of the Med last functioning river delta being ripped for the greed of luxury resort developpers from the US and the Gulf. #HandsOffNarta

Albania, Kushner, Ivanka Trump, luxury ressort, Edi Rama www.ekathimerini.com/politics/for...

Ivanka Trump is destroying a protected habitat in Albania to build a $4 billion resort. All this corrupt family knows is destruction.

Jared Kushner is spearheading a massive luxury tourism development project in Albania valued at an estimated €1.4 billion. That project will endanger ecologically sensitive coastal areas to build ultra-luxury resorts. euobserver.com/219116/from-...

Thousands protest luxury resort project linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner IN ALBANIA!

31 May - the final day of 'spring' for waders. The last Grey Plovers & Dunlin are heading for Taymyr (Russia), which is probably where this lovely Culrew Sandpiper is going. Thanks, @kgbirder.bsky.social. Blog about wader migration: wadertales.wordpress.com/2017/07/20/w... #ornithology

@alan678.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NegativeSpace, where the subject occupies only a small portion of the frame, with empty or simple surroundings playing an important role in the composition. I hope this shot of an approaching Royal Tern qualifies. #birds

Österreich hat ein Problem mit illegaler Wildtierkriminalität. Immer wieder werden streng geschützte Greifvögel getötet – mit teils drastischen Auswirkungen auf den Bestand. Das Ausmaß der Problematik verdeutlicht unser aktueller Bericht. Ein kurzer Thread! 🧵(1/6)

Russia continues deliberately weaponizing food. It consciously launches attacks on international relief organizations trying to help people whose lives Russia makes hell. Just days after the Russian strike on the warehouse of UNCHR in Dnipro,

Die Ukraine hat einen der massivsten russischen Luftangriffe durchlebt. Hunderte Drohnen, Dutzende Raketen, Tote, Verletzte, heftige Zerstörung. Druckwellen haben auch das ARD-Studio Kyjiw erreicht. Unser Team ist zum Glück unverletzt. Die Statik des Gebäudes muss geprüft werden.
