The image depicts a scenic landscape featuring a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliffside. The waterfall is white and frothy, flowing in multiple streams as it descends. The cliff is covered with patches of green moss and grass, contrasting with the dark rock. Below the waterfall, a calm body of water reflects the scene, enhancing the tranquility of the setting. The foreground shows a lush green hillside with a few scattered yellow flowers, adding a touch of color to the landscape. The overall scene is serene and picturesque, with the waterfall as the focal point.
#Faroes They expected a pod of 60-70 , but slaughtered at least 270.
Official figures show a large portion will never be consumed, left to rot at sea. It’s not about survival, it’s about proving they can do it, and that no one can stop them.
Gratitude to Palli Justesen for bearing witness 2 hell
Thanks a lot for the grant! Looking forward to addressing this questions in the #Faroes this season with Feliksa Żurawska. Will report back 😄 🌊
A few days ago Sea Shepherd shared a post from locals living in the Isle of Man calling to move the 2027 Island Games from the #Faroes because of the grindadráp, questioning why the games should be hosted in a place where this practice continues. Read more below: www.facebook.com/SeaShepherdF...
Looking like a poor season for #Puffins in the #Faroes from local accounts and observations so far - lots of adults still feeding young chicks which should have fledged by this time of year, many dead chicks in the colony and very low numbers in general :( any others finding similar? #seabirds
And so it begins! The Storm-petrel fieldwork season in the #Faroes kicks off for 2025, joining @anneausems.bsky.social @jasonwalczak.bsky.social @trevormaclaurin.bsky.social to carry out sampling for @seaghosts-biodv.bsky.social and further research for my PhD on European Storm-petrels.
7 years later; #BBCNews caught up with @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social marvellous story of the #Faroes connecting up their islands to create a thriving interconnected community and more, suggesting #Shetland could do the same using PFI to do it - they had big oil money too.

Those of you who came to our festival at the weekend would have heard a Neptune's Pirates spokesperson talk passionately about this ongoing campaign.
Here is some information about it (in pics) and how you can help by following the link on the QR code:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_independence_movement Short Extract: Wikipedia "The Icelandic independence movement (Icelandic: Sjálfstæðisbarátta Íslendinga) was the collective effort made by Icelanders to achieve self-determination and independence from the Kingdom of Denmark throughout the 19th and early 20th century. Iceland received a constitution and limited home rule in 1874. A minister for Icelandic affairs was appointed to the Danish cabinet in 1904. Full independence was granted in 1918 through the Danish-Icelandic Act of Union. This was followed by the severance of all ties to Denmark with the declaration of the republic in 1944."
#Iceland seizing a final opportunity after a graduated & amicable shift towards indy & Denmark was otherwise engaged in WWII
#Faroes linking up their islands with tunnels & using the most advanced 5G Internet to drive communications & business development causing population retention & growth. 🙂

Here in the #Faroes we see small flocks of Purple sandpiper (Calidris maritima) on rocky shores and sandy beaches. This one, however, I encountered in a stream a bit more inland.

The New Zealand flatworm (Arthurdendyus triangulatus) has decimated #Earthworm populations in the #Faroes. It probably was introduced by people who were importing non-native trees in the 1980'ies.
This one I found in our garden, close to our compost heap where there are no Earthworms.

A great egret (Ardea alba) in the #Faroes today. Only recorded a handful of times here.
