Recreational vessels (small fishing boats, tinnies, charter boats, sailboats, and yachts) crash into migrating humpback whales and their calves. Many of the boats operate at very high speeds through the nursing and resting ground for humpback whale mothers and calves,

"Thirty years ago you wouldn't have seen a Holly Blue in Scotland, but now it has expanded where it lives across the UK by 34%, increasingly spreading northward. Red Admiral, which was once a #MigratorySpecies, is now living in the UK all year round. We're also seeing other species which have previously suffered severe declines, such as Comma, recovering, with a huge increase of 94% in where it is found."

The world’s spectacular animal migrations are dwindling.

Fishing, fences and development are fast-tracking extinctions

Wildebeest herds churning dust. Sturgeon seeking spawning grounds. Shorebirds flying from Siberia. These iconic animal migrations could soon be a memory.

A #Butterfly among my #BeeBalm #flowers.

"Bee Balm" are tall, strange-looking red flowers with spikey petals. They are great for attracting #Pollinators, and are a particular favorite for the local #bees, #hummingbirds, #butterflies, and an occasional #Finch. They are #perennials and come back every year on their own.

But in the Autumn, I sometimes pick some of the dead flower blooms, let them dry over winter, then use them the next year as seeds for elsewhere in my #gardens. (This year, I haven't kept up with pulling the weeds the way I should have, so there are a few weeds growing too-tall among the flowers.)

Study reveals how #birds track environmental conditions across the seasons https://phys.org/news/2023-07-reveals-birds-track-environmental-conditions.html

Diverse strategies for tracking seasonal environmental niches at hemispheric scale https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/geb.13722

"some #MigratorySpecies can track temperature or rainfall throughout the year, going out of their way to experience the same weather all year long, while others experience strong variation in seasonal conditions throughout the year"

Have you heard of the Pennant-winged Nightjar?🐦

The breeding males have extraordinary "pennants" extending from their wings. It is a #MigratorySpecies from Africa, found in many different habitats, breeding in wet savannahs and deciduous forests.

@allenholub in fact our groms #migratoryspecies database would be nonexistent if I had insisted to employ (formally) qualified people - we all learned on the job!

@marcoarment luckily I chose my #migratoryspecies moiety for mastodon doubt that the twitter software identifies K Riede,,,,,, had a #gutfeeling...
