The stunning great crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus), a bird that turns every movement into a show. Its breeding plumage is just the prelude to a mesmerizing courtship: synchronized dancing couples, exchanging aquatic plant gifts, and rising in perfect mirror-like unison on the water.

The next time you go for a walk, whether in the countryside or the city, even in the most unexpected corners, tiny and primitive plants that often escape our view will accompany you at all times. These are bryophytes—just crouch down and narrow your field of vision a bit to discover them.

Under the skies of southwestern Iberia, common cranes (Grus grus) draw a winter bridge between northern Europe and the Spanish dehesas. These birds, which migrate in "V" formations and travel up to 4,000 km, find a vital refuge in these unique landscapes #wildlife #naturephotography #birdwatching

The common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), this tiny bird, is much more than a simple inhabitant of our forests. Weighing only 7-9 grams, this insectivore is a true ecological guardian, devouring mosquitoes, flies, and small invertebrates that help maintain the delicate balance of ecosystems.

The strawberry tree can reach up to 10 meters tall, has reddish, fissured bark, and bright green leaves. Its fruits take a year to ripen and display green, yellow, orange, and red colors on the same tree, providing food for birds and mammals throughout the year.

The Strawberry Tree: A Living Relict of the Green Past. This species (Arbutus unedo) is a relict, a species that has survived since the Tertiary period, when the climate was warm and humid, and laurel forests covered the Mediterranean? Today, this tree is a living testament to those lost ecosystems.

How does the stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus) deceive flies?. Phallus impudicus, known as the "stinkhorn," deceives flies with its nauseating odor, which mimics the smell of rotting meat and feces. This odor is produced by volatile compounds like dimethyl sulfides.

Have you ever wondered why the Moon has light and dark areas? Well, you're not the first. As early as the 17th century, astronomers with limited instruments observed the dark areas and compared them to Earth's seas, mistakenly believing they contained water.

Pair of Red-crested Pochard. During autumn, the male shows it's "eclipse plumage," adopting a duller brown color similar to that of the female, although he retains his characteristic red bill. This helps him camouflage while they are in groups in open waters.
