The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

Radar image of Tuesday's mass crane migration. A 100 km long line of migrating cranes was clearly visible on weather radar. It is estimated that around 10,000 (?) cranes were involved in that formation. The highest count observed was 26,000 migrating cranes on that day in Kangasala (near Tampere).

Last day for this year. Perfect light on the lake. The robin family living under the house have all grown up. Lizards are sunbathing. Put the boat away and will be collected by the local fisherman taxi boat in the morning. Time for beer.
View into the sun with empty jetty. The boat is up on land now.Low beach and view to other islands which are lit by the sun.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking in the rain, and water is pouring down so hard that only their silhouettes are visible, raindrops bouncing off their umbrellas.
Green, singing: I'm singing in the rain, I'm singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
Blue: You're surprisingly cheery about this.
Green: It's finally autumn.

Quite notable summer windstorm will arrive tomorrow in the Baltics and eastern Finland. Especially Estonia and the Gulf of Riga is directly at the path. Up to 100 mm of rainfall and gusty winds expected. On the other hand, not bad for the low water levels in eastern Finland.

Looking though trees to the lake. The sun is high in the sky at 5.45pm and shining on the water below. On the horizon are other islands that appear dark. There is a light breeze and so there are ripples on the water.Looking though trees to the lake. The sun is high in the sky at 5.45pm and shining on the water below.

Hot? Our wildlife is feeling it too! 🥵 Here are four ways to help your garden visitors stay cool this summer. 👇
A colourful graphic titled 'Help wildlife beat the heat' with illustrations and tips on creating natural habitats. Tips include letting grass grow long to provide cool refuge for insects, planting shrubs for shade, setting up shallow water stations for hydration, and creating muddy puddles to help nesting birds, amphibians and reptiles. The scene depicted shows a garden for wildlife, with long grass, pools of water, trailing plants and a muddy puddle set against a fence. The sun is pictured in the top right in orange hues.

Despite the reduction, water levels in Lake Saimaa and elsewhere in the eastern Finland are expected to fall in summer to their lowest in 50 years. In eastern Finland, the two-year precipitation totals are currently the lowest since 1979.

Sitting at the patio table, I noticed movement by my foot. It’s little baby bunny! 🐰 The slightest movement by me sent it zipping about 10 feet away. It paused long enough for a photo. So cute!

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

These two raccoons travel around together, have done for a long time now. I don't know their relationship but if one goes ahead too far it stops and waits for the other one to catch up. #mammals
A black and white night photo from my camera trap. It shows two cheeky raccoons in the garden with shrubs and plants behind them. The one on the left has its mouth slightly open with its tongue just poking out. The one on the right has its mouth open revealing its teeth, the lower canines being visible too. Both raccoons have their front paws held up near their chests and both are sitting down mostly looking towards the camera. They look like a fun pair and could probably show me a thing or two about my neighborhood that I have no idea about.
