Markets are rich in #medicinalplants, & Gumi Shuka in Yerevan is no exception. A visit is never just about buying. You get local names & uses, preparations. Sometimes, without even asking a single question. For instance, the lady mentioned aveluk, maybe you use it too but not in soup. #ethnobotany

O patrão do porto Btw did you know #Portugal comes from Portus Cale? It was a small Roman port known today as #Porto. In the Middle Ages, the region became the County of Portucale. That’s where the Kingdom of Portugal was born in the 12th century. So yes, it all started here ⚓✨ #summer #picture

Trying to reunite baby bats with their mother 🦇🦇 After a call to the 🇸🇮 bat rescue centre, we placed them in a warm cardboard box. At dusk, we set the box near where we found them. We set up a camera for a few images, then removed everything to give them the best chance of survival #animal #nature

Vance, you absolute bloody plonker !

Oh marvellous! Another masterclass from the diplomatic dream team. Truly, history in the making, just not in the way they think they would. Fair play to Zelensky for keeping his calm while dealing with those two circus acts. 🤡
