Common Raven are so smart, that they'll sometime use food as a courtship novelty.
Today, I watched a pair perform aerial acrobatic, while teasing one another with an apple. #birds

They are very attractive sparrows 🤩

Was very excited to pick up newly arrived migrants on my #TenMinMerlin but instead I suffered from Urban Noise Pollution Hard Mode™️ (street sweeping in addition to the usual traffic, planes, and trains)

Still a decent bunch, just nothing new. "Mockingbird" is of course my weird local crows

Indigenous Peoples have been pointing this out for a looooong time. Especially in terms of creating resilience in these growing "seasons" of wildfires.

Common or Eurasian coot (Fulica atra) swimming on the surface of the water.

I don't usually bother much with coots, as they are just so common and plentiful. So much so that I didn't realise they have scary red eyes.

Happy World Wildlife Day! Remember, small actions can have big impacts - plant native plants, turn out your lights at night and stop using pesticides! Every little bit helps. 🦇🌎
