something new learned over the weekend - smoke particles from North American forest fires can lead to low visibility in European Alps #allconnected
old orchards are in danger - in addition to the drought in recent years we now have lost lot of old trees due to the recent thunderstorms
yesterdays highlight......camouflage in perfection
early summer 2023, pictures today - and no it is not august yet #drought
German Bird Race 2023 finished now: 51 % of all participants use their car for chasing. On the positive side: 49% are participating by foot, car and public transport (as in most other countries) - I am curious to see when #lowcarbonbirding finally gets also into Germany. (personal result of the family team: 109 species and 65km by bike )
with wheatear, ortolan bunting and whinchat 121 species on the #localpatch #lowcarbonbirding - spring rocks
watch out for #amphibians , too many deaths on roads already again! migration is happening now (and most cars ignore them - this is so sad)
office window view (and no this is not a summer thunderstorm) it is march 13th #UniFreiburg temperature maximum today 22°C
we have been waiting for so long - now with some rain time to migrate! #amphibians #springmigration
spring is coming - but it is dry!
while out for a walk I made a picture of the dry conditions in the landscape and checked the national database. Looks like we set a national negative record for the top soil humidity for the driest region in Germany currently - not good! . (data ufz - duerremonitor).
