Today is a rainy and cold day. The best thing one can do is what these waders do: put on their warm plumage and wait. I took this picture in 2008.

A Red knot forages at the edge of a body of water, with its reflection visible on the surface. The background is a grassy bank. #redknot #birds #lukehaigh #photography #canon #photo

Heute auf der Arbeit einem Kollegen erzählt, dass ich in einem coolen Windkraft-Projekt arbeite. Rückfrage:
"Wächst Windkraft eigentlich, wird da noch gebaut? Es gibt doch jetzt KI, dafür bauen sie wieder Atomkraftwerke."

Darauf ein Schwarm Powerpfeifen! *

The excessive #exploitation by humans means horseshoe crabs now are listed as “Moderately Depleted” on the IUCN’s #RedList. Migratory birds who rely on horseshoe crab eggs, including the #RedKnot and #PipingPlover, also are disappearing at alarming rates.

Meanwhile, synthetic #alternatives — which don’t involve a single drop of horseshoe crab blood — have been approved and are in use by several major pharmaceutical companies.
