Ten out of our 20 monitoring plots are located in areas without sheep grazing. But sometimes a sheep manages to jump a fence. This one is hanging out right on the plot - after having headbutted the temperature logger for a while. #FaroeEcosystemMonitoring #FEM #Tjóðsavnið #sheep

Research at “the cutest Research Station in the world”? Koltur Research Station is part of POLARIN Transnational Access which funds transport and accommodation for researchers: eu-polarin.eu/transnationa... We are especially interested in projects measuring above-ground biomass on the island.

Empis lucidus (Empididae) is a northerly species associated with higher altitudes. Not a common sight in the Faroes, but yesterday I found plenty of them in the mountains on Kalsoy. #Tjóðsavnið #Diptera #FaroeEcosystemMonitoring @leivurjanushansen.bsky.social

Today we submitted paleo paper with 6 UA co-authors. Its -10 to -30Cº in Kyiv in the last week. Most of my colleagues does not have heating or electricity due to russian attempts to freeze Ukraine into surrender. Most of the don't sleep that well due to air raids. Still... we finished the paper 🦖⚒️

Today, at the Changing Currents conference organised by Granskingarráðið, @agneskreiling.bsky.social presented three projects which were centered around Koltur Research Station: the Baseline Project (www.tjodsavnid.fo/natturan-i-k...) the terrestrial ecosystem monitoring project and #LIFEPLAN).

Bloody-nosed beetle (Timarcha tenebricosa). So-called because they exude droplets of so-called nosebleed (but which is their bright red-orange hemolymph coming out of their mouth). #beetle #entomology #omsystem #chrysomelidae #coleoptera

Yesterday morning was frosty, but with a clear sky. So a long walk with the dog was in order. Brought the camera and got some good #insect photos. Here is a #tipulidae.

I joined @agneskreiling.bsky.social in some freshwater fieldwork today. Well, I took care of the kid and dog, while she and a colleague did the fieldwork. It was way colder than expected (3°C) and snowing a bit. But seeing a mallard with ducklings definitely brought some feelings of spring.

Here in the #Faroes we see small flocks of Purple sandpiper (Calidris maritima) on rocky shores and sandy beaches. This one, however, I encountered in a stream a bit more inland. #bird #photography

The New Zealand flatworm (Arthurdendyus triangulatus) has decimated #Earthworm populations in the #Faroes. It probably was introduced by people who were importing non-native trees in the 1980'ies. This one I found in our garden, close to our compost heap where there are no Earthworms. #ias
