'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
My Swift a Day… till they’ve flown away #CommonSwift #BirdsInFlight #MigratoryBirds #SaveOurSwifts @rspb.bsky.social
Just spotted more than half a dozen Swifts circling high overhead. They’re becoming fewer now, so every sighting feels a little more special. #CommonSwift #BirdsInFlight #MigratoryBirds #SaveOurSwifts @hertsbirds.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @btoengland.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social
Glad to hear the Gross Trees in my neighborhood -- easily accessible via Gross Public Transportation, no less -- are finally getting some attention in the other Washington
Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
Went to the boreal transition zone for a hike today. Loads of great late summer stuff, including zillions of mushrooms busting out 🍄🍄🟫
God I’m so sick of perfect, beautiful people. Glad you guys are here
my favorite religious theory is that "biblically accurate angels" is just someone tripping balls who encountered a peacock for the first time

In celebration of #YorkshireDay, please enjoy this Sean Bean bastard collection. Sound up, bastards.
If there is one thing at which Galloway excels, it is ruined churches. Inch Old Kirk near Stranraer is among the best. Built c.1780 on a medieval church, it was abandoned in 1861 and has a distinct lost world feel. #blackandwhitephotography #Scotland #Galloway #SouthernScotland
Believe it or not we have addressed this! Here you go: single gar = gar multiple gars, same species = garrison multiple gars, different species = garmada
A group of Gar can not be called a school it’s not tough enough
There are also lots of excellent, curated feeds where you can find genuine animal photos. The Birds Feed is all vetted. No AI, only real photographers and artists (6/?)
Here’s a list of nature photographers who I promise are not using AI, post their own photos and really care about the wildlife. No unethical behaviors just to get a good shot. (3/?)
There’s way too much slop, fake animals and misinformation around, including the example Franz is highlighting below. So here’s a thread about spotting the fake stuff and reducing this crap on your timeline. (1/?)
In case you missed it, the account mrrobertbob posted an extremely viral but misleading pic of a "flapjack octopus" who then blocked everyone who correctly pointed out it was GenAI. Stop sharing posts with images without credit/provenance. Lots of fakes/grifter accounts out there.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird facing off with a gray squirrel! I had to move the sugar water when our bald cypress tree lost some limbs in the last storm. The According to the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, too many squirrels are now showing an interest! 🪶 🌿

Not only is this jellyfish holding onto a kelp like a little spider, it has bright green headlights. These lights are formed by biofluorescent proteins, which absorb light (probably UV) & shine it out as a continuous bright green. 🪼 Vallentinia adherens 📸 in ALT text, @inaturalist.bsky.social

It’s been lovely to share THE LANGUAGE OF TREES in Iceland. Now I can’t wait to celebrate the special edition, coming September 22. Yes, pre-orders mean a lot, so thank you for supporting if you can. I’m so excited for the book tour! 🥳 www.katieholten.com/the-language... #NatureWriting #Trees 🌿

Less than a month ago, this little unit was a black ball of fluff with long legs and toes. Now this junior Sora is completely independent, can even jump/fly, and is VERY serious about hunting aquatic invertebrates and other insects! #Birds 🪶
