Scientist discovers living animal known only from fossils. Scientist credits insight to 18th century amateur naturalist, a woman who keeps a "cabinet of curiosities". And hardly anybody knows this story! It's a great rabbithole to have gone down.

Leshan Giant Buddha, is the biggest stone Buddha statue in the world at 233ft (71m) high. It is carved into a cliff face made of red sandstone in Leshan, Sichuan Province, China 🇨🇳

The droughts and the bark beetle plagues of the past few years did quite a number on the fir tree monocultures of the #Harz mountains.
But new growth is already emerging, and hopefully the new forests will be more diverse and resilient than in the past.

Yes, I know. We are in the grips of winter (isn't that a great metaphor?)
But today, where I am on a COLD winter day, the sun is shining, and it sings -- ever, ever so softly -- the song of spring. More of a hum, actually.
But it's enough of a sound to inspire me to think about spring, to look forward to its arrival which really, isn't that far away . . .

Brown-bellied Swallow
A rather dark swallow of the Andean highlands from Venezuela to Bolivia. Head and back are dark iridescent blue. Throat and belly are dusty grayish-brown. Tail is relatively long with a deep fork. Flocks are found over forest and clearings, especially around nesting sites on cliffs and landslides. Occurs from 2,500-4,000m, often higher than Blue-and-white Swallow but plenty of overlap.

Interesting piece about making good coffee at home. During the pandemic I started making my morning coffee in a French press/plunger, with good ground coffee from Brother Baba Budan. Saves a lot of money over my previous habit of buying two coffees out in the morning.

The bridled nailtail wallaby sure knows how to strike a pose, and these magnificent marsupials definitely want to show their faces after being considered extinct until 1972 when an isolated population in remote Queensland was discovered.

Cinereous Vulture
Huge, majestic, dark-brown vulture. In flight, looks all dark, with some contrast between the leading edge and trailing edge from below. Soars on flat wings, often slightly drooping, with prominent wing fingers and a saw-toothed trailing edge. Juvenile lacks the adult’s pale head patches. Imposing and dominant over other vultures at carcasses. Forages over rugged mountains, upland forests, grasslands, and steppes. Sometimes disperses significant distances in the winter.

A food forest is a sustainable, low-maintenance garden designed to mimic a natural ecosystem. It layers edible plants—trees, shrubs, vines, and ground covers—to create a self-sufficient system that provides food, improves soil, and supports biodiversity. 🌳🌿🍓
