The wind has dropped, the sun shines and many birds sing.
19.28 Ma Stork flies in with supper and Pa Stork flies off. The storklets are hungry.
19.32 Ma Stork sits down on the nest.
The massed birdsong continues. I can hear a cuckoo in amongst all the singing and perhaps a woodpecker. It's a lovely evening.

Exciting News from Slovenia!
@Pro_Coast partner University of Primorska, has made significant strides in presenting the PRO-Coast project. Their focus on the case study "Strunjan Landscape Park has garnered recognition, as it has been selected as one of the few projects to be showcased at a prestigious Open Science Festival in Ljubljana. #Biodiversity #biodiversityconservation

Protecting and restoring biodiversity requires comprehensive and integrated approaches. Key strategies include integrating genetic diversity into conservation efforts, employing practical monitoring and assessment techniques, addressing chemical pollution through ecotoxicological studies and modelling, managing invasive alien species, and leveraging remote sensing technologies.

It's a windy day and the oak tree is swaying. Ma Stork sits on the nest.
9.29 Pa Stork flies in.
9.32 Ma Stork stands up and flies off. Pa Stork feeds the storklets and then sits down. Will the fourth egg hatch today? If so, I'll let you know..

Koalas shot from helicopters in national park

"Around 2,200 koalas are understood to have been assessed, and approximately 600 – 700 have been euthanised due to concerns about injuries and access to food...The burnt canopy cover has provided clear visibility and allows the helicopter to hover at tree level permitting a clear line of sight."

When you think you're doing good for nature, it could be counterproductive. Wildflowers growing on land previously used for buildings and factories can accumulate lead, arsenic and other metal contaminants from the soil, which are consumed by pollinators as they feed, a new study has found. The metals have previously been shown to damage the health of these pollinators.

There’s a lot of ways we could create, or transition to, an ecological society. We already have the knowledge of how to do this. I want to explore that a bit, and try to aggregate that knowledge into something cohesive. This project, Ecologizing Society, is an attempt to do that.
