Today's #MothOfTheDay is

SCALLOPED OAK
crocallis elingualia

A thin oak veneer shaved off a plank.

I nearly missed this fella as it was on the fern amongst a load of windblown and dying pale yellow rose petals. Nicely camouflaged.

A member of the Thorn group of moths.

#BlumenImAsphalt Plantage lanceolata - Der Spitzwegerich stammt aus dem temperierten Eurasien, inzwischen ist er weltweit verbreitet. Zur Verbreitung heftet er seine klebrigen Samen an vorübergehende Tiere & Menschen. Mit seinen tief reichenden Wurzeln kommt er mit trockenen Böden klar. Vor allem für Schmetterlinge & Raupen ist er eine wichtige Nahrungsquelle. Wir schätzen ihn als Heilpflanze.

#GutenMorgen Trötys, habt einen schönen Tag.

13.21 The silence is broken as Pa Stork joins Ma Stork on the nest and two of the storklets fly in, wanting food. Both parents feed the storklets, then Ma Stork leaves.
13.26 Pa Stork leaves.
The two storklets spend the rest of the day on the nest. Still no sign of the third.

#Agriculture expansion is a key driver of #biodiversity loss globally. Biodiversity decline in the #GranChaco, a tropical dry #forest region in #SouthAmerica, is linked to both #beef and #soybean (= #livestock feed) production, and to the domestic & foreign demand for these: doi.org/10.1016/j.gl...

The latest State of the World’s Birds report found nearly half of the planet’s bird species are in decline. Habitat loss, logging, invasive species, exploitation of natural resources and climate breakdown were highlighted as the main threats.

I was in Rome for half a day, but I still managed to see some wildlife while waking around in Villa Borghese.

"Thanks in part to its abundance of historical sites—many of which now serve as natural oases, free from cars and modern development—Rome is a hub for urban wildlife. Public green space covers about 35 percent of its area, compared to just 20 percent in London, England."

Another quiet afternoon on the nest?
Perhaps not entirely.
