This picture totally didn't work out, but it's hard to beat for sheer waterfowl higgledy-piggledy.

My father-in-law and I got a lovely close-up view of some sandhill cranes during our Saturday drive through the park.

Global report stresses on role of wild animals, #rewilding in #wetland conservation

The study, released on #WorldWetlandsDay, outlines impactful evidence that reintroducing and protecting key wild animal species could be a game-changer in tackling #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss, #InvasiveSpecies control, and #WaterSecurity challenges.

by Mrityunjay Bose, 12 February 2025

Excerpt: "A case study from #India led by Dr Samir Kumar Sinha, Chief Ecologist, Wildlife Trust of India, on the potential influences of #SarusCrane recovery on the wetland ecosystem services has recorded that the '#Sarus #crane holds cultural significance and thus provides cultural services in India. Its foraging behaviour – primarily digging for tubers and roots in muddy wetlands –creates ploughed patches that enhance plant diversity and support the growth of of less dominant plant species. The crane also benefits small-scale farming, as their nesting sites provide foundations for pioneer grasses instead of the typical reed and sedge, which allow the farmers to till, plough, and sow crops earlier,' the WTI said.

"The Ganges River basin hosts diverse wetlands vital for biodiversity, including the culturally significant but vulnerable Sarus crane, which depends on both natural and man-made wetlands. Habitat destruction has forced these cranes to breed in rice paddies, despite lower breeding success.

"The Sarus crane serves as a key indicator of wetland health. Conservation efforts in eastern #UttarPradesh by the #WildlifeTrustOfIndia have protected 700+ nests, leading to an 8 per cent annual population growth from 650 (2013) to 2,600 (2024)."

Sunset at the Finnieston Crane in Glasgow.

Can you see them? #SPEN working hard in the darkening night to put up our electricity pole. They must be exhausted by now. I’m very grateful anyway. We got our power restored when they isolated the fault (around 3am this morning) but we’ll maybe have another outage when they switch back through - not sure. I don’t mind, just happy they are fixing it. #ViewFromTheGate #StormEowyn #crane

Il est temps de refaire une #introduction

Je suis Loy Hena, personne majoritairement non-binaire mais c'est ok pour me genrer si flemme (langue française tmtc)

Queer, conducteurice de grues et fan de photos de lever de soleil, j'adore les sciences (spécifiquement la mécanique quantique et l'espace)

J'adore en apprendre plus sur les plantes, les animaux et toutes les créatures de cette planète, ainsi que de tous ses environnements !

Et puis j'aime l'art (je suis très touche-à-tout) j'ai notamment été artisan-e pendant trois ans à mon compte. En ce moment je prends des jolies photos, je fais des montages vidéos, j'aime chanter (seul-e dans ma voiture) et parfois je dessine ?

Enchanté

Sandhill cranes are so cool.
