Printed the third and final layer and I'm so delighted by how this came out! It's a multiblock relief print with three colours.

Tis the season for Northern Flickers to start sparring over territory. They'll be drumming on the chimney cap any day now. 🪶

Hell yeah bring back those buttons
davidzipper.bsky.social David Zipper @davidzipper.bsky.social · Feb 27
Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.

This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.

(Even better: Tesla will hate this)
Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe
Euro NCAP will release new testing guidelines in 2026.

Black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) from Cubbon Park, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

Black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) a bird with a black shiny crown, white eye ring, red eyes and black iris. White cheek, throat and wings with shades of greys. Black bill with a highlight of white at the tip of the upper mandible. Leaves in the foreground with black stripes like patterns with white highlights. Blurr background with black fading patterns. Made few grey toned papers few months back. The process making my own grey toned paper was interesting and a good learning experience. One can make cool greys or warm greys, depending on one's own preference. I get to watch these birds in the middle of the city and at one of the common visited parks in Bangalore. Cubbon Park is centrally located and one of the most visited park how these birds have adapted to urbanization is amazing. Title: Night Heron Study!

If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.
Meet Muppy, the World’s Smallest Sled Dog
Most sled dogs are huskies and pointers, but Muppy didn’t get the memo. With sheer determination and a whole lot of heart, this little dog is rewriting the rules of racing.

Introducing New Zealand's latest Bug of the Year- the magnificent Ngāokeoke / Velvet Worm!

NZ has two genera: one lays eggs (Ooperipatellus, 1st photo) and another gives live birth (Peripatoides, 2nd). They also deposit sperm which burrow through their partner's skin, but that's another story! 🧪
A photograph of a velvet worm - an orange and purple-patterned invertebrate composed of many soft segments and tiny spined legs. The velvet worm has long, segmented antenna and a pair of organs on its head which squirt glue for prey capture.

Daily bunny no.2879 is creating a masterpiece
Two bunnies each control one knob on a large etch-a-sketch. (Large to the bunnies, it is actually a normal etch-a-sketch and the bunnies are extra small.) In the etch-a-sketch, the two bunnies have drawn a haphazard flower in an outdoor scene, with two bunnies around the flower.

Eurasian Avocets are surprisingly absent from my patch this year and going down the coast to San Pedro tells me why. There are hundreds down here! Great to see so many finally.

Tubers are produced underground, but some plants produce a similar structure above ground. The aerial structures are called tubercles. Chrysothemis pulchella (#Gesneriaceae) produces pea-sized tubercules on its stem. #clone #botany 🌾🧪🌱
