Pigeon #ArtDD2026 Quite a tiny drawing so a bit of swearing - Why did I start to do the text!? Hand and brain are not always coordinated #LondonUnderground #tfl #urban #watercolour #pigeon @drrjwarren.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social

Nuthatch #ArtDD2026 They are very active outside my office window Not the best but at least it was a restful time by the drawing board #nuthatch #dailydrawing @drrjwarren.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social

Spring is in the air, despite the snow. Jackdaws checking out the hole in oak outsidemy office window. Lots of happy fluttering tail feathers. I think she approves #jackdaw #UrbanBiodiversity #birds @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

Otter splosh #ArtDD2026 A few quick doodles. I hope to make the otters justice one day @drrjwarren.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social

Gysinge is a fascinating place. Old Iron works and smithy. Lots of old buildings and the mighty River Dalälven running through and all the tiny rivers beside it

Went north and off grid to listen to owls and find woodpeckers. Weather changed to heavy snowfall so no hooting owls but I'm happy to see 3 fishing otters and a Grey Headed Woodpecker. #birds #dipper #otters #FärnebofjärdenNationalPark #gysinge

Waiting for the bus at -18 degrees C You want to time it perfectly so the waiting is short. I did. I'm now overheating #cold #commute #IloveSL #Stockholm transport

It's -18 C Can I stay in bed...

Grey Grey Heron If it wasn't for the bill it could be a study in grey. There is less and less open water so s/he has to share with 78 Mallards #heron #tyresöslott #gråhäger #grey @everyheron.bsky.social

Frozen beauty. Unusually low water levels in the Baltic, unusually calm sea & low temperatures makes ice sculptures of rocks and jetties. Luna is not happy (note uncurled tail) because she wasn't allowed to chew her seal bone she found 1 purple sandpiper, 1700 tufted, 2000 goldeneye, sea eagle 🦉

Brussel house #ArtDD2026 Quick little doodle from my kitchen window in #Brussels. Not a lot of time to paint. Work, work, work @drrjwarren.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social

Storks #ArtDD2026 During my lunch break in the middle of Brussels suddenly 26 white storks flew over. Quick messy sketch #stork @drrjwarren.bsky.social

Yellowhammer #ArtDD2026 Little time to paint when reviewing proposals for the ERC #Yellowhammer mostly migrate so it's a treat to see this little suns in all the grey 🇸🇪 #watercolour #bird @drrjwarren.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social

You know when you book an apartment/room with a "seaview" expecting it to be in a backyard & if you stand on the toilet seat you get a glimpse of the sea. My expectations were extremely low when I booked Mannekinpis apartment. Kitchen view of the horrible little statue. 🤯 #ERC 🧪⚒️🌍 #AcademicLife

Castle guardian Grey Heron and Tyresö slott @everyheron.bsky.social #heron

Come out, come out wherever you are... Mice and Voles are safe under 30 cm of snow but Luna can hear them.

Great Spotted Woodpecker #ArtDD2026 They are drumming away despite the cold and snow. I used salt to try and get a falling snow feeling. Hmm but did it work?? #watercolour #woodpecker @drrjwarren.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social

New study by @saocousins.bsky.social in @natecoevo.nature.com! 📣 Errors in global grassland maps are skewing carbon sink estimates. By correcting misclassification using field-validated data, global grassland soil C rises to 155 Pg — major implications for ecosystem accounting & policy. 👇

Magpie #ArtDD2026 A memorable and lovely visit with my friend @drrjwarren.bsky.social to the village & churchyard of #Sandwich.

Today I was in the Kyiv Botanical Garden. Plants in the greenhouse are freezing due to constant power and heat outages. Workers are doing everything they can to save them.

Mandarin Ducks Aren't they completely otherworldly? A small population seems to do really well in the middle of Stockholm 🦉

Grey Heron and snow #ArtDD2026 A tiny doodle in waiting for grander ideas ...🤔 #Heron #watercolour @drrjwarren.bsky.social

New publication 🥳 I am very pleased to contribute with one of these dots, particularly as it is from an area overlooked for its many grassland habitats. #climate #biodiversity #grassland #carbon🌍🧪 @stockholm-uni.bsky.social rdcu.be/e0YLg

Gnarled apple tree #ArtDD2026 There are some beautiful old apple trees on campus. Some are hollow but still bear fruit Tits don't care if it's cold or snow. They are singing to the light returning 🦉 @drrjwarren.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social

Eagle Owl That silhouette and call 💚💚💚🦉 #eagleowl Quite a lot of snow in the air so tricky focusing. Mobile camera through the spotting scope. Unfortunately it is looking the other way

I'm reading ERC applications but as one son sent a clip on how to make Tea-ini I obviously had to try an experiment. Always a #scientist 🧪🧐 I ran out of vodka and took some gin too (even more British) and OK I did have to make my own Irish Cream but still... Don't do this at home #YorkshireTea
