My #Robin friend Little Mate giving his Christmas speech this morning. We hope everyone has a good day. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

There's, of course, also pigeons in Korea. I saw this flock next to a road in central Seoul, nearby Dongdaemun market, a massive (you could spend multiple days and, as there's a night market, nights there!) textiles/accessories/shoes/more market.

@rdm has inspired me to finally do an #introduction - I think he's been on Mastodon less than 24 hours, and me, well, I've been active a little while. Better late than never?
Kaya, nganyang kwerl leece, wer ngany Whadjak #Nyoongar boodja-k nyininy. I give my respect to the Nyoongar people, and to the Elders of the past, present and those who are to come.
For tens of thousands of years they have lived, worked and played and cared for the land of South West Australia.
They have been very kind to share their #noongarlanguage and their culture with me and I deeply appreciate that.
Likewise my respect goes out to the Elders of First Nations everywhere.
Hello, my name is leece, and I live on Whadjuk Nyoongar boodja. I have a passion for nature and #citizenscience and am a moderator for the Western Shield Camera Project on Zooniverse.
Pronoun wise she/her is fine although I think baal/baalap is better. I'm an #artist - I have a Diploma in Fine Art (sculpture) but mostly 2d these days.
I'm married to @rdm who is a really cool dude who joined me in my interest in #birdwatching , enthusiastically joined me in #mermaiding and taught me how to sail, and to manage a #kayak and generally watercraft, and already loved #sf and #fantasy #books #movies and #ttrpg as well as #boardgame
#GURPS #gm too. I am a latecomer to the world of #lego but have become something of an #afol in the past year or two.
Anyone have advice re small handbook or app for #birds in #China? Also, would love some advice re #binoculars. I'm not traveling light, but don't want a super heavy set.

Some Kind of Ducks
I've been attempting to identify these ducks that I've been photographing swimming around a small lake. Merlin and Google search are all over the place. My field guides are at home. If anybody knows what species these are please chime in. My first thought is they are mallards, but that's a WAG.
Hmmm ... if you know what a WAG is you've probably served in the military. 😂

(Wild)life sightings in the patch of earth I steward (the garden):
dunnock
blue tit
sparrow
coal tit
long-tailed tit
sparrowhawk
rat
great tit
bull finch
song thrush
blackbird
pigeon
Amazed at the diversity of birds I can find in my parents garden! A Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Greenfinch, rare enough in the South East of Ireland!
#NeuHier #introduction
Nach einem guten Jahr auf einer anderen Instanz bin ich wieder zurück im Norden. 🙂
After about one year on another instance, I'm back on norden.social.
Mostly I toot about my #NoDig #Garden, my #MarketGarden or my cooking #recipes Occasionally, there will be toots to the #ClimateCrisis, #birdwatching or #nature in general.
I'm interested in all sorts of nerdy stuff including #science, #computers and #photography.
I suppose it’s well past time for me to make an #introduction post!
My name is Velux, & it’s probably not pronounced how you think. You can call me Vel for short too!
I’ve been in the #FurryFandom since summer 2004, & can feel my hollow bones crumbling as I say that =P
I am a golden eagle gryphon with a red fox bottom half instead of feline - a mix that I call a gryphox!
In 2014, I began dating @inari, who is incredibly patient & understanding of my bullshit, & continues to be my amazing partner to this day 💙
I began on this journey in the fandom insisting I was a straight male human just having a little escapism fun… And have since found that I am none of that at all.
It took a relatively short time to show me that I am #pansexual, & I first started questioning my gender around 2016, which led to me realizing that I am #trans #nonbinary just days before 2019 ended. I took the careful route & began #HRT in October 2021. In mid to late 2022, I began to realize that some of the feelings I’ve had most of my life, & my current feelings even more blatantly, fit as #therian/ #otherkin. This was further confirmed when I experienced an awakening in February.
My #fursuit was made by fursuiting.com, & fursuit performance, thanks to my experience as a D-I college mascot, is the only directly furry skill I have to offer back to the fandom.
I work professionally in live & motion #broadcast #graphics. I love #birds & #birdwatching, & hope to grow with bird photography. I’ve unleashed the inner #pinball fiend I was as a kid & have become a bit of a fan all over again as an adult. I am learning & growing in the craft of #chainmaille jewelry, & hope to launch a side shop soon to keep me busy with #maille projects. I am very much a #Trekkie, with very few days that go by without watching an episode.
I’ve grown a lot throughout the years, and am excited to see where it takes me next!

One from summer: A grey heron yawning, the tip of its beak just a hair's breadth from touching the backrest of the bench it (and yours truly) was sitting on.

"Hey, look at me, I'm special!"
(What a gorgeous pigeon! I first saw it last fall, but it stayed only for a minute or so on that occasion, and I managed to get this shot as it lifted off. A few days ago, though, I happened to met it again, at closer range this time – photographs forthcoming.)

This pigeon was taking a bath at the local weir yesterday morning along with about a dozen others (out of frame here, but I captured some slow-motion footage that I've yet to edit – stay tuned).
