Here a first trial to access #CastorFiber data for the last and the current year via the #gbif #API. I had the help of Gemini for creating #html since I am not used to this. However, it would be valuable to get some hints were to find a verified approach by humans 😊 . I basicly want to track species occurrences from gbif with the most recent data there and make them public (with reference to gbif of course).

Pero bueno, ¿es fauna ibérica o no es fauna ibérica? El #CastorEuropeo vivía por estos lares pero desapareció, y hace relativamente poco fue reintroducido de forma irregular. Y ahora, pues sí, sí es #FaunaIbérica. Así que a proteger a #CastorFiber. ¡Una de dientes! https://www.faunaiberica.org/castor-europeo?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=fimastodon

Castor fiber – The Quiet Engineer

Sometimes, nature rewards patience with a surprise. While walking through the serene Gedbootre Bos in Tilburg-Noord with my wife, hoping to spot the elusive kingfisher, we stumbled upon something even rarer: a beaver (Castor fiber).

Once extinct in the Netherlands, the beaver is slowly making a comeback thanks to conservation efforts. This gentle giant plays a vital role in shaping wetlands — building dams, creating habitats, and improving biodiversity. Its presence is a strong signal that nature is healing, even in urban edges like Tilburg.

I photographed this individual from the side of a large ditch using my Canon 7D Mark II and Sigma 100–400mm lens. Though the image may not be award-winning, the encounter certainly was. Moments like these remind me that it’s not always about the perfect shot — sometimes, it’s about witnessing something wild, alive, and rare.
