  1. One of the trash pandas that lives on the block has been ravaging our garbage cans and does not seem to be particulary afraid of humans. Today, he found a container of well expired pine nuts and had a bit of a feast.

  2. Paschal lamb

    Three sheep stand in a Chicago corridor—tiles, pillars, glass light at the far end.
    They don’t belong, but they wait there anyway.

    Numerous meadow brown (too many to accurately count) & marbled white butterflies have emerged in this area of unmown grassland in my local cemetery.
    Bramble flowers buzzing with bees & hoverflies
    Swifts screaming overhead

    I seem to have an established colony of cinnabar moths in the garden since encouraging ragwort to grow. The flowers also attract many pollinators

    Road trip to Liverpool & Manchester
    Stopped overnight @ Stafford and had breakfast looking out on this green oasis
    Moorhen chicks floofing about in the reeds
    Darting dragonflies
    A Jay flashing over
    Many buzzards over the motorway, but no red kites like you see so often in the south now

  7. Work from home bonus: Great Horned Owl (I think) roosting across the alley from my house.

    Edit: Added a frame grab from a neighbour's video clearly showing it.

  8. The Donaufeld cornfields in Donaufeld, Vienna - amazing to see this in a city, an oasis of biodiversity surrounded by residential development. Swallows were hawking for insects above the fields, blue carpenter bees droning in the poppies and large copper butterflies spiralling around each other in the flower-rich field margins

  10. Before the #Somerville community path extension from Cedar to Lowell, before Maxwell Green, there was this wonderful #UrbanWild tucked away in the middle of the city.

    I like the bike path, but this was a special place as well. There was some trash and debris, but it was a quiet place for humans and other animals to take refuge from the city. I miss it.
