A guy just outside of the Botanical Gardens of #Oldenburg had discovered this young #bird (likely a young oystercatcher), thought it had fallen out of the nest, and wanted to save it.

But it didn't need saving - it's perfectly normal for these birds to roam around outside the nest at this stage. And the parent was rather upset about this abduction.

A good rule of thumb for young birds you may encounter: Unless they are in clear immediate danger, it's best to leave them alone.

Moody Wildlife - Pelican by Lisa S Baker

A solitary pelican glides across still waters in this peaceful digital painting, bathed in soft twilight hues. Gentle ripples reflect the bird’s elegant form as golden light fades into moody blues. With its serene composition and painterly textures, this piece captures the quiet beauty of nature at day's end.

Robin in a holly bush is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A robin sits on a branch in a holly bush and looks to the right. It is surrounded by green leaves and red berries. The background is painted with loose brushstrokes in different shades of green, which form a strong color contrast to the red winter berries of the bush and the red-orange breast feathers of the bird. The Ilex is also called Holly or Christmas Holly. The evergreen branches with the red fruits are often used for Christmas decorations.

"Across Canada and the U.S., a growing number of shuttered #golf courses are being rewilded.

"At least four courses in California, and a handful of others in the U.S., U.K. and Australia, have been bought by non-profits, cities or land trusts and turned into #nature preserves or #parks in recent years, leading to an increase in #wildlife sightings, plant species and tree cover."

I was surprised to spot this beautiful Green Heron (Butorides virescens) on one of my outings to Lake Ballinger this winter, gliding gracefully over the tranquil lake, displaying the beautiful colors of their vibrant wings. I usually see them here between Spring and Fall. Evidently some of them are wintering in Wester Washington to my delight.

This tiny Golden-crowned Kinglet was zipping by me in a park the other day, acrobatic songbird with a remarkable ability to survive in cold climates. Just a bit larger than a hummingbird.

Bon matin sur le Fediverse ! Je me suis inspirée du monde de la nuit pour sculpter au couteau cette chouette effraie en bois (érable normand) en ronde-bosse (= sculpture en 3 dimensions).

Ses ailes repliées révèlent une lune en argent que j'ai forgé et incrusté dans le bois (quitte à aimer faire dans le tout petit...).

Elle sera à adopter vendredi 22 mai à 19h sur www.missive-to-bears.com ainsi que d'autres pièces.

A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage is sitting on a slender branch. The bird is looking to the right. The delicate feathers of the small bird are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm brown, purple and earthy tones.
Sparrow meeting part one is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
This painting is part of my mini-series of three paintings - Sparrow Meeting One, Two and Three. Each of these paintings shows a female sparrow sitting on a branch. Each of these pictures can be hung on its own. However, the three paintings can also be perfectly combined to form a triptych and hung together on a wall for a joint sparrow meeting.

Today's #MothOfTheDay is a nationally scarce micro #moth. But one did visit the moth box Friday night. If you see spindle covered in massive webs, it is likely to be a common, indeterminate form of yponomeuta spindle ermine. This one, with grey suffusion, however, is not common at all:

SCARCE SPINDLE ERMINE
yponomeuta irrorella

#moths #mothsandbutterflies #MothsMatter #nature #wildlife #britishwildlife #lepidoptera #entomology #insect #garden #summer #conservation #biodiversity #alttext

Side on shot of 0.5cm moth on a wooden outdoors table. It faces right. It is long and tubular, holding its wing very tight to its abdomen It is white with a number of random black dots, particularly more so running in a line along the outside wing edge close to the table surface, but they are generally all over. Its distinctive markings from other yponomeuta species are areas of grey suffusion, a faint spot on its back, a larger smudge in the middle of the wing, and again greying to the fringed termen (back wing edge furthest away from its head). It has two coiled orange galeae (like a thin, long tongue) for feeding and long white antennae which it holds close to its body. It has a tiny head which pinhead eyes (right side only visible in this picture) and two palps (lips) which curve up from its mouth. It also has thin white legs.

Smiling Robin is a watercolor painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small European Robin with a bright orange breast stands on a light blue shadow. The background is minimalist and emphasises the colorful presence of the bird. The little bird looks towards the viewer and seems to smile at him in a friendly manner.
Like other songbirds, the robin is a welcome guest in my garden and always inspires me to create new paintings.
