#BirdOfTheDay theme is #FeedingTime. This is from last Spring - a White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) feeding a juvenile.

The White-throated Dipper is the national bird of Norway, although this one was in the UK.

Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the penguins, for today is their special day!

This engraving of a 'Patagonian Penguin' can be found in 'Animated Nature Vol. 2' (1821) by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon.

Hey everyone who’s overinterested in #defence or #OSINT or just #GIS: do you happen to know any good resources, like datasets, GIS shapefiles, etc etc that could be useful for doing some OSINT exercises about the environs of Finland and the Baltic countries?

OR are you interested in joining forces?
