A view from a lake of migrated birds

@painter Rajendran

Since 2015, #WaterBuffalo have been grazing in the #Marshland of the Tegeler Fließtal in #Berlin, part of the #European #Natura2000 network of protected areas.
Their wide-spread hooves do not sink into swampy ground, and by grazing wet lowlands, they ensure that their special vegetation is preserved, and that these landscapes do not become overgrown with trees and shrubs. Because buffalo like to wallow, new places are also created where amphibians and many insects feel at home.

Two dark brown water buffaloes lie in a wallow with water on a moor meadow in the sun. Bushes and trees can be seen in the background.

Peat moss and cranberries.

Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.

We visited the Parc Natural de l'Albufera south of Valencia. There are rice fields where live many birds like herons, cormorants, ibis and other.

Return of #seaotters & their voracious appetites has helped rescue section of #California #marshland - new study. Sea otters eat constantly & 1 of their fav snacks is the striped #shorecrab. These crabs dig burrows & also nibble away roots of #marshgrass #pickleweed that holds dirt in place. Left unchecked, the crabs turn the marsh banks “into Swiss cheese,” which can collapse when big waves or storms hit, said Brent Hughes, a Sonoma State University #marine #ecologist apnews.com/article/sea-otters-

The aquatic plant Bacopa reflexa (Benth.) Edwall (Plantaginaceae) is sometimes considered the only species of genus Benjaminia, due to its submerse, finely divided leaves and calyx characteristics. In our region of the Amazon coast it had already had been collected almost 70 years ago, and we were able to confirm that it is still around in ponds and flooded seasonal marshland near Bragança-Pará.

Herbarium sheet with Bacopa reflexa. The green stems with the verticillate, finely divided leaves were floated onto the paper to keep them spread out before drying. The herbarium sheet features labels with collection data and a barcode. A colour target and a centimetre scale were included in the picture for referenceThe small flower of Bacopa reflexa, a few millimeters above the water surface. The reflection of the flower's underside is visible on the surface; the finely divided, submerse leaves can be seen below and to the right of the flower (there are also leaves of other aquatic plants). The zygomorphic corola is light blue, with a yellow center.

Late afternoon sunshine is bringing out the sparkle in a fresh dusting of snow and casting long shadows from the dormant golden brown grasses and twigs projecting above the snow (and the ice below it).

Rocky marshland, New Britain Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. September 24, 2019, 6:27 PM.

A small, slow moving stream is feeding into a large lake. The ground around it is strewn with dark beige boulders and covered with vibrant green moss and grasses. Low ridges covered with forest surround the lake, maples are adding a scattering of early autumn color to the green tones. The evening sky is a soft blue gray with clusters of gray clouds streaming past, especially along and above the far horizon. The western horizon to our right is tinted gold and orange by the setting sun. The clouds are also streaked with gold and pale orange.
