We learned today that the slender billed curlew is confirmed extinct 😓.
In honour of all curlews, we present the Whimbrel. Closely related to the Eurasian curlew, but smaller and maybe less threatened.
These big, beautiful shorebirds roam widely and are long-lived, but disappearing from our world🪶🦉

Wow, our observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with ExoMars TGO turned out better than expected!
I have seen the dot observed with perseverance, and the weak signal in our spectrometer data, but the tracking and coma from CaSSIS are sure to impress!

As summer ends and I contemplate a cozy morning of coffee, thick wool jumpers, and catching up on some photo editing.....
Nothing like getting back into the birds of the Western Cape to remind us of sunshine!!
These are blue cranes! Rare and huge, but found in the farmland of the Overberg region. 🪶🦉

The food is great and they serve Butcombe Breeding ale.
