Goldfinch and Dandelion #ArtDD2025 my new pub name I met this chap (or chappie?) yesterday πŸ¦‰ #goldfinch #watercolour #birds @drrjwarren.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social

I went birding and stumbled on this black back of a wild boar in the ferns (2nd photo). She didn't notice me and I didn't want to come between her and the piglets so I whistled. She looked at me before taking off with six piglets in pyjamas πŸ’š It's quite unusual to get so close #wildboar #sandemar

Bird box update A week ago my new bird box was empty (first photo). Great tit checked it out a week ago. The last two are from this morning Now at least three eggs. I'm enthralled. I hadn't understood how quickly they settle in. She layed more than one egg a day. #birds #greattit #talgoxe

Fieldwork! Preparing for a climate change experiment in deciduous forest. We select sites, do the baseline plant survey and then rainout shelters will be placed here later this year. Sweaty, mosquitos, itchy, thirsty... 🌍πŸ§ͺ @stockholm-uni.bsky.social node #climate #forest #paneuropean

The department's annual Summer lunch. This year we organised a 5k forest walk through Tyresta National Park with lunch by one of the many lakes. Perfect to mingle and chat with colleagues at the end of the academic year. Happy Summer! #PhysicalGeography @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

It's been a busy week for the Stockholm twitchers. Ring-billed Gull have been roaming round one of the parks in the city center. It's fun to see all the people with binoculars staring at all white birds coming in. Can you see it? #ringnΓ€bbadmΓ₯s #gull #birds πŸ¦‰

Bar-tailed Godwits #ArtDD2025 trying to do a #dailydrawing I felt like a quick splosh #birds #watercolour (Sorry that I can't acknowledge the photographer that inspired me because I forgot the name) @drrjwarren.bsky.social @holnicotenh.bsky.social @andykaitken.bsky.social @stevecobbin.bsky.social

Bearded Irises #ArtDD2025 one from the archive but it's that time of year in my garden #watercolour #garden @drrjwarren.bsky.social

I had to help out when a Common Tern managed to get tangled in a fishing line. Luckily no hooks! It flew off after "thanking" us with a nibble Oystercatcher In front of Stockholm castle #urbannature #birds
