Okay, not truly near Bonn, but I made a feeble yet desperate attempt to have the title be an alliteration. Only after I came up with this, I realized that the title an earlier post of mine is also a b-based alliteration, which I guess I should accept is more an indication of my limited creativity than an inevitable result of me living in Bonn. Some time ago I visited the Wagbachniederung (see my last post ) and as I would be traveling more or less along the Rhine to get back, I decided to throw

My dog ludo is 1 and a half years old, he's the best. He's always happy and pretty tough. But he hurt himself and I don't know how. This morning I had to go to work, and he was happy. I came home from work and he was happy but reluctant to jump on me (which is how he usually greets me). He was also yelping randomly. So got a treat and I asked him to jump up to get the treat, and he tried and yelped hard.

I associate different times of the year with particular birds and bird movements. In some cases, I have been following these events since childhood and they have become a part of my life. One such period has just started and will continue into September. As the climatic conditions over the Mediterranean become stable in the summer months, the water column becomes very stratified and little nutrient and plankton gets to the surface.

I have always found the question about which of the two superpowers to choose – to be able to fly, or to be invisible – an intriguing one. For me, it has come down to a choice between extroversion – flying – and introversion – invisibility. How to answer this question from a birder’s perspective? My hunch is that most birders are more on the introversion side of the whole spectrum, though I am sure there are many exceptions to this (hello Peter!).

I never saw it move, so it might be dead. It was found in Tennessee. I thought that the structures where its wings should be might be remnants of a cocoon, but they don’t look like that. Does anyone know what this is? It looks like a moth. I’m curious if it really is a moth, and if so, what type it is and what’s going on with the structure on its back.

It was a baby seagull, it seemed to have fallen out of its nest and was lying in the street with a mangled leg and wing. Poor thing was terrified and in pain. I phoned help and was told to take it to a vet, which someone else did. People were saying that it'll be put down though, I hope it can be helped but I suppose at least it won't be suffering.

But I pulled out his mouth and he stopped biting. He just stood there in my hands. He seemed very scared. I let him go and my cat continued to chase him, he's probably still chasing rn.
