Black-hooded sun orchid (Thelymitra atronitida) near Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC. This uncommon species tends to be very shy to flower - usually only see one or two flowers open briefly on warm/humid mornings. A nice patch of plants at this location but only one flower open - and this closed up as I photographed it just before noon.

A global study reveals a severe biodiversity crisis for amphibians, with 788 species declining over four decades versus 121 improving. Habitat loss, agriculture, climate change and disease drive the decline, yet conservation funding remains disproportionately low despite their ecological importance.
Im Park #Babelsberg werden am Samstag rund 2.800 junge #Bäume gepflanzt, um Ausfälle durch #Klimaschäden zu ersetzen.
Besonders alte #Rotbuchen sind betroffen. Die Aktion soll die historische #Parkgestaltung bewahren und wird gemeinsam mit Anwohnern, dem #THW und der #Jugendfeuerwehr umgesetzt.
Bereits in den Vorjahren wurden über 2.000 Gehölze gesetzt.

Doing the local rounds today, but it was pretty quiet, with the cold and wind. Songbirds were scarce. Waterfowl and larger shorebirds like herons and egrets were in the far sides of the ponds. Biking home, I turned off to pick up some groceries. About a block from the Trader Joe's near me, I saw a pigeon-like form land on a telephone pole. I was was pretty set on ignoring it, but the color, movement and form were off, so I stopped and looked. And this Merlin posed for me for a good 10 minutes before I finally took off.

The use of antennae by #bumblebees to ‘communicate’ with other #bees in the colony, by touching their antennae to the antennae of another bee, is referred to as ANTENNATION.
It’s basically a bee handshake.🐝🤝🐝

Trotz hoher Zustimmung zur #Windkraft gibt es in Baden-Württemberg 2025 so viele #Bürgerentscheide wie nie zuvor zu diesem Thema.
Viele Konflikte entstehen dort, wo #Windräder in #Waldflächen geplant sind. Hier treffen #Klimaschutz, #Artenschutz und Naherholung aufeinander. #Bürgerentscheide führen laut Experten jedoch meist zu mehr Akzeptanz und gesellschaftlichem Ausgleich.
