✨ One win at a time! Our Dutch partner @vogelbeschermingnl.bsky.social just won a court case to protect more seabirds at the Bruine Bank/Brown Bank in the North Sea! 🌊 More species will now receive legal protection in this critical foraging and migration zone. A big win for seabirds and science.

Astonishingly good news from the Chinese State Oceanic about coastal conservation brings great hope that the extinctions of waterbird species, such as spoon-billed sandpiper and great knot, that were beginning to seem inevitable, can actually be averted http://bit.ly/2DyIzTL

Save here to remember to read; from my old-time experience this is much more on the individual / pair choices. But ok, curious if it is different: doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

The reason why the Guillemot's egg is shaped as it is, is a myth 😉 The real reason is even more interesting. bou.org.uk/blog-birkhea... #ornithology #seabirds

Testing my new VPA2 digiscoping adapter & Swarovski telescope. Will share more on YouTube & Facebook. Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) for the start.

A Mountain Bluebird that showed up on Cape Sable Island, NS, the first winter we were here, January 2015. None since, which is hardly surprising given their normal range. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #Novascotia

Great development: Bron: ResOU search.app/yoeS6gRuWPWa...

That my friend is a Pink Pearl, created by a legendary California apple breeder in the 1940s. The color isn't as intense when grown in New England, seemingly. I was lucky to find mine on a trip to CA. Here's what it's like: adamapples.blogspot.com/2013/10/pink...

Certainly a very good guess! In fact when I first saw a Lucy Glo, with that peachy glow peel, my first thought was "that's like Pink Pearl, I wonder what's inside." Not disappointed. adamapples.blogspot.com/2019/11/lucy...

One of my top favourites on Apples ❤️
