Hat im Kontext von #Ceuta irgendwer sich mal gefragt was Menschen dazu bewegt ohne Hab und Gut, mit nichts als ihren Kleidern, ins Wasser zu springen und ihr Leben zu riskieren? Berichtet wird mit Begriffen wie „Angriff“ und „illegale Migration“. Es ist aber eine humanitäre Katastrophe.

If you think photographing birds in flight is difficult, you want to try moths!😅 This is a wonderful Hummingbird Hawkmoth, photographed yesterday from my bedroom window, just as it banked around to change direction!😀😍 Just look at that proboscis 🦋 (The moth looks a bit like a fish doesn't it!)😁

"Nein, mit den Linken können wir nie koalieren - die hängen noch der DDR hinterher! Mit der AfD hingegen sollten wir zusammenarbeiten!" - Einige in der CDU, im Hintergrund singt der Chef der rechtsextremen AfD öffentlich die DDR-Hymne.

Nur auch mal zur Erinnerung: 2019 konnten ~750 Bäume in Sanssouci nicht mehr gerettet werden-auch die,die schon 200 Jahre alt waren. Und beschädigte Bäume zu fällen, kostet auch mal schnell 1000 €. Auch schattige Kurorte verlieren durch Hitze ihre Bäume und ihr Prädikat.

Good morning birders. Today I thought I would let you post freely so the #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #YourChoice bird capture/ captures you’ve been itching to post. No alt obviously. I’ve went with the unloved but beautiful in sunlight Starling. Taken a few days ago. #birds #photography #ECK

Close-up portrait of a European Starling perched among leafy branches. The bird’s glossy black plumage shimmers with iridescent purple and green highlights in bright sunlight, while neat white speckles cover its breast and flanks. It faces to the right with its long, pointed bill and dark eye sharply in focus. Soft green foliage and blurred leaves create a smooth natural background, drawing attention to the starling’s striking metallic sheen and intricate feather detail.

Good Morning. The theme for @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay is #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. Alt #HedgingYourBets, any bird in a hedge or bush Welcome aboard @atlanticbirding.bsky.social and @helenbennett.bsky.social Will be joining us as cohosts. #birds #ECK

The meal for Charlie Cattle Egret was supposed to be Frogs Legs, but he was that hungry and had no manners so he took the whole Frog down in one go.
But Charlie couldn't swallow it unless he looked up and swallow at the same time, and made his in-laws take a dislike to him on his first time seeing them.

Captured at WWT Martin Mere.Willy Woodpecker (Great Spotted) was looking up because his friend had told him the sky would be falling down, now that is a very good friend pulling his legs but he didn't realise that and told all his family to hide so they wouldn't get hurt by it.
Once nothing happened he realised his friend was having a laugh at his expense, and his family were also laughing at him for falling for it. But now it's supposed to happen at 12pm today so watch out so it doesn't hit you.

Captured at Grange Road Bird Hides.Gloria Greenfinch was munching on some seeds while keeping watch for her friends, she was supposed to be going out for a meal with them but they are flying late.
What Gloria didn't know was they had all gone out without her because she passed on the information about the falling sky that Charlie had told her about, because Gloria had told her friends about it and they missed an important meeting at work because they stayed at home to hide.

Captured at Grange Road Bird Hides.Kenny Kingfisher was looking skywards because he had also heard about the falling sky, although he didn't believe Charlie's friend he still had to make sure so he didn't get hurt.
But Kenny wasn't bothered about the sky as he was more interested in catching some fish for his tea with Kelly Kingfisher later in the day, which Kenny said he was really looking forward to because he hasn't had a date in the last 12 months.

Morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. Alt #HedgingYourBets, any bird in a hedge or bush. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT From Monday, @atlanticbirding.bsky.social and @helenbennett.bsky.social Will be joining us as cohosts. #birds #ECK #SmallBirdSaturday

A fluffy juvenile European robin stands upright in short green grass, its rounded body covered in mottled brown plumage before the familiar adult red breast develops. The young bird gazes upward with a large, dark eye and a slender pointed bill, while its long pink legs give it an alert, inquisitive stance. Tiny white clover flowers and scattered fallen leaves dot the softly blurred lawn, creating a natural garden setting that highlights the fledgling’s youthful appearance and curious expression.

Ein sehr gutes Interview: "Fast 10.000 Hitzetote, Waldbrände und Trockenheit interessieren die Bundesregierung nicht. Kanzler Merz übernahm im Wahlkampf das Anti-Klima-Narrativ der AfD, sagt Soziologe Fritz Reusswig. Dabei sichere Klimaschutz unsere Lebensgrundlagen."

Warum verkennt die Politik, dass viele Menschen, sogar in der CDU, sich echten Klimaschutz wünschen?

Waldbrände, Hitzetote, Trockenheit: Soziologe Fritz Reusswig fordert beim Thema Klimawandel ein Umdenken - auch bei Kanzler Merz.

Want to see the summer weather in #Ireland today? If you’re looking for a slightly cooler climate than your current one, look no further than here. 😂 Going to do some BOTD reposts. Sorry can’t comment on all. Repost=Step 💃🕺🥂🍾🍺🍻🍷🍸🥃 #photography #Scape #ECK

A dramatic landscape beneath towering storm clouds, with heavy curtains of rain falling in the distance over a flat-topped escarpment. In the foreground, a calm drainage ditch reflects the dark sky, bordered by long grasses and clusters of bright yellow wildflowers. Beyond it, a neatly mown green field stretches towards a band of golden farmland and scattered trees. The distant hillside is partially illuminated by a break in the clouds, creating a striking contrast between sunlight and approaching rain. The scene captures the ever-changing weather over the Northern Irish countryside, with the brooding sky dominating the composition.
