Finally installed 9 nesting boxes for the common swift! / Endlich haben wir 9 Mauersegler Nistkästen installiert.
If you look to the right, you will see a stove vent hole. For about six years, this hole has served as a nest for a pair of common swifts. The same pair has returned from Africa every year since then. Their nest was very small, so we bought them a couple of luxury apartments. The first swifts are expected to arrive from Africa on or after 15 April. I'm excited to see their reaction!

Auf der rechten Seite seht ihr ein Loch einer E-Herd-Entlüftung. Seit etwa sechs Jahren diente diese Loch einem Paar Mauerseglern als Nistplatz. Seitdem kehrt dasselbe Paar jedes Jahr aus Afrika zurück. Da das Nest sehr klein war, haben wir ein paar Luxuswohnungen besorgt. Die ersten von den Mauerseglern kehren ab dem 15. April aus Afrika zurück. Ich bin gespannt auf die Reaktion!

I just spent three nights camping at #BirdLife Australia's #Gluepot Reserve in the #mallee of #SouthAustralia.
Tenperatures were reaching 37/38 C, and it's very dry there. The reserve has a small dam, but no other open water. The #MurrayRiver is about 40 km to the south.
But the #insects that appeared at night were primarily #freshwater species - lots of #CaddisFlies (#Trichoptera), #Chironomidae and #BackSwimmers (#Notonectidae).
This video shows the insects attracted to a #LepiLED UV light. If these mostly originated down at the river, the insect #biomass streaming up across this region (wind-blown?) is absolutely staggering.
There were also LOTS of #microbats everywhere, and the stars were incredible.

No idea whether these guys are friends or family, but they're having a lovely bathing and grooming session this morning in one of the bird baths.

Prehistoric bird once thought extinct returns to New Zealand wild https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/29/prehistoric-bird-once-thought-extinct-returns-to-new-zealand-wild
Return of takahē – large, flightless bird – to alpine slopes of the South Island marks a conservation victory in New Zealand. I met one of these contenders for Bird of the Year today at the Zealandia nature conservatory. #Takahe #birdlife #nzpol #biodiversity #conservation -
