With its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail, the red kite is simply unmistakable. Almost every day we see them soaring above us, stretching an impressive 175 cm wingspan as they scan the ground for prey.

They pair for life—both build the nest, while she incubates the eggs and he brings the food. Feeding on prey and carrion alike, they roam far and wide… no wonder their haunting calls inspired the myth of Isis taking the form of a kite to revive the dead.

Look up to the sky…
even when the clouds insist on stealing the stage.

Here’s a photo we captured last year under clearer, kinder skies: Messier 78 (M78 / NGC 2068), where starlight drifts softly through veils of cosmic dust in a quiet corner of Orion. While this beginning of the year has been ruled by storm after storm, this image is a gentle reminder that the universe is always there, waiting patiently above us.

Thinking our relation to the environment...

Stone oaks, centuries-old trees that have evolved to endure drought and poor soils, yet climate change is now overwhelming their adaptations. Water stress, pathogens, and fire are increasing mortality, threatening these protected trees and the biodiversity they shelter. In a rapidly changing climate, centuries of adaptation are no longer enough.

Each germinated seed in this image is part of our rewilding effort, a careful attempt to support a species at risk. The success rate is low, but we keep planting, nurturing, and trying.

It’s February, and the rain that started at the beggining of Dezember, doesn’t stop. Temporary ponds fill, and with them come the first calls of the natterjack toad (Epidalea calamita). Loud, raspy, unmistakable — an early sign that the breeding season has begun.
