a remarkable flock of pigeons foraging on a brisk winter night in nyc i'm still documenting some of their nighttime activities, hopefully more to come #birds

Bonfire night is here! Sending love to those sheltering with animal companions @wascherclaudia.bsky.social and I have new research out about the impacts fireworks have on urban corvids: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v... And as video: youtu.be/dCfHEqJfx2A #BonfireNight #birds #crows #urbanwildlife

As Bonfire Night approaches, new research lnkd.in/epBXK8Tu by @distrustful-dinos.bsky.social and me shows that fireworks significantly disturb urban corvids. OA: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/d... #BonfireNight #Wildlife #AnimalWelfare #Corvids 📸 Photo: @distrustful-dinos.bsky.social

i've been practicing a new technique for photographing crows at their urban roost here in berlin this winter 🪶 using slow shutter speeds and panning i can capture them in flight while stretching the city light into abstraction who else has practiced this style? i would love to connect!

🪶 I still find it impossible to predict when and where the crows will decide to spend time on the ground at night One thing is for sure – they can't resist a good slushy puddle Anyone near Cambridge: come see the @shutter_hub Open 2025 exhibition this Saturday! shutterhub.org.uk/events/exhib...

🪶 a hooded crow in a cold puddle on a snowy night here in berlin

i haven't been posting much this winter, but rest assured, i'm out there in ~~~the darkness~~~ 🪶 🌃 📷

I can also highly, highly recommend this beautiful video by @distrustful-dinos.bsky.social about Berlin's #urbanwildlife, in particular its #Corvids, during NYE. Incredible rooftop footage of #birds flying around in a panic, surrounded by exploding fireworks. #ornithology #fireworks #conservation

🪶 another pigeon of stockholm today, among the colorful light at sergels torg

🪶 I connected with a wonderful flock of pigeons that live at Sergels torg in Stockholm. And when I looked up, I realized that some talented artists have created a beautiful pigeon sculpture and other colorful works that live in the windows where the pigeons shelter from the cold.

🪶 Beyond thrilled to be included in this years @shutter_hub open exhibition!!! If anyone is going to be around Cambridge between mid January and mid March, it looks like some amazing stuff will be on display! shutterhub.org.uk/shutter-hub-...

🪶 i'm still learning how to photograph guinea hens, but here's a recent attempt at a portrait
