Apparently it's #invertefest #invertfest, which seems like a good time to share our in-progress series of films about marine invertebrates, Animoceans, made in collaboration with @neilbanas.bsky.social, Clubhouse Animation, Greenlight Creative. vimeo.com/1006905555

If you want your own personal #invertefest, remember that there are #origami #copepod diagrams available at origamiplankton.org! Also #diatoms for the copepods to eat and #bowhead #whales to eat the copepods.

Mr Trevelyan said: "Those who know me well know I was eventually going to build a giant curlew. She's a real beauty. I wanted to represent curlews well because they're such a beautiful bird."

My inbox (presumably everyone's inboxes) is basically a classic game of 1970s Space Invaders. You successfully fight off one group of aliens/emails only to find that the next group comes even faster and more lethally/urgently!

String players, when there's scordatura do you prefer to read pitches as they sound or as they're played?

Looking for suggestions of (solo) piano pieces based on birdsong, _not_ by Messiaen, Beach, Dillon, Mâche, Couperin, or Rameau. Asking for a friend. (Really!)

A lovely performance of a movement of my piece "Varia," performed by @huwmorgan.bsky.social on the Mainly Slow Organ Music series. Interestingly my dog, Idris Donut, who is usually completely unmoved by recorded music, loves the tuning of this 1760 single-manual organ! youtu.be/_9O71qM2iak

Morning, all! I'm just wondering - and I can't think why I didn't wonder before - is anyone out there researching historical #MusicPublishing? Would love to know more about their work. Thank you!

Who are your favourite 20th/21st century composers/musicians who use birdsong or other inspiration from birds in their music, and who do _not_ come from the Western classical tradition?

It's nice to see Idris Donut (my dog) getting due credit for his artistic output! (Thank you Leah Kardos/The Wire)

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯 Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke... A thread. 🧵

Honestly, I never thought I'd start to miss the days of Bill-Gates-as-most-prominent-US-billionaire. (This is not to be taken as endorsement of Bill Gates or those days, just astonishment at how very much worse everything is now.)
