En referencia al término de biodiversidad oscura de @txaverius.bsky.social y de la humildad con la que debemos interpretar la enorme complejidad de la naturaleza. Me encontré que al cultivar Gypsophila repens al llegar el invierno perdió todas las hojas. Pensaba que se había muerto. Al fin...

Más de la mitad de las especies de aves en España empeoran un año más su situación. Se sabe porque miles de personas facilitan datos de registros muy útiles para la ciencia. Es ciencia ciudadana www.lavanguardia.com/natural/2025...

A reminder of the measure of the man. Former Spanish King Juan Carlos wearing a coat of the incredibly endangered snow leopard (several in fact) as he stands with Kazak president Nursultan Nazarbayev in 2002. At the time he was head of the Spanish branch of WWF.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary... #birds #canada #nature #wildlife #photography #birding #nikon #raven #mcoupephotography

In Welsh folklore, Peredur (Sir Percival) offended King Arthur's brother Kay when Peredur didn't notice Kay one winter's day. Peredur was enthralled by a raven standing in the snow. Its black feathers reminded Peredur of the hair of his beloved and the snow reminded him of her skin. #WyrdWednesday

Phoebe! Looks like it’s got a side job as swing coach for the duffer. 🏌️‍♂️ Black phoebe #birds

Fuck.

I love odd duck season. Even though the mergansers are theoretically here year round the seem to disappear in summer. 🪶 #EastCoastKin

Polar bear moms are fierce. This mom watched three different males approaching her nap spot, posing a threat to her cub. They retreated with Mom stopping to assess the situation regularly. You can see a pretty serious scar on her face, indicating that she was quick to defend her cubs. #mammals 🌿

I love all birds, but I do have a favorite 🦉🍁 Barred Owl in Central Park, November 2025

HELL YEAH NUTHATCHES! Merp is back for another winter of creative clinging to the dangling backyard suet feeder. Lookit that gorgeous colour and patterning! What a great bird. #HellYeahNuthatches #NuthatchSky #birds

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane. Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay the theme is all about Birds looking a bit on the #Round side. And the Alternative Birds are #Sparrows. I've gone with a Chaffinch, Robin, Bullfinch & Dunnock all looking #Round #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #naturephotography #ukbirding @rspb.bsky.social

Una hermosura de trabajo profesional.

Way too much politics on my timeline right now, deploying weird marine life image. :) Here's up close and personal with an unusually cooperative Flying gurnard (Dactylopterus volitans). Night dive, Ulua Beach Maui. 🌿📷🐟🦑

Our fanciest non-native species, a #round pin-tailed whydah, for the #BirdOfTheDay

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #mottled Birds marked with spots of a different colour. Chose this image of a Northern Flicker (Red-shafted) from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada #Birds #BirdSky #EastCoastKin #OMSystem

I tried to post something that wasn't my northern flicker for the #mottled #BirdOfTheDay theme, but it didn't work out. 🪶

I was crawling around on the astroturf'd porch of our hotel room, ass in the air, trying my level best to get this spider to look as cute as possible. They were a cooperative model 🥰

A partir de ahora los documentales y las grabaciones que documentan hechos ya siempre tendrán la sospecha de que pueden no ser reales. Y eso hay que abordarlo de frente antes de que sea demasiado tarde. removepaywalls.com/https://www....
