During the past year, there have been several attacks against critical infrastructure near Finland. Russians are being increasingly apparent in their will to escalate the situation in the Baltic Sea. These events must be set in the right context to understand why they happen. 1/

Tree moss, Pseudevernia furfuracea, is one of the most common lichens in Finland as it grows also on pine trees that are everywhere here. Apothecia on tree moss are very rare sight, this old tree moss from Ähtäri had stunning apothecia with a beautiful color

New - to me - perspective on Ocean Cleanup project, ie even if ignore the costs, it could actually cause more harm to ocean evosystem than help.

It’s been a shitty, exhausting day on the #GreatBarrierReef. I feel like an art lover wandering through the Louvre....as it burns to the ground.

The taxonomic biases in biodiversity data are growing over time. The amount of data we are collecting is growing, but the biases get bigger. We need to make a conscious effort to study the understudied! #SciComms #Science #Taxonomy 🧪 image from Troudet et al 2018 @natureportfolio.bsky.social

Blue-Footed Boobies and the magic poo ring. Blue-footed Boobies nest in a simple scrape on the ground. Guides told us that the Booby, while shading their eggs from the harsh sun, turn to face the sun throughout the day, and that's why there is a ring of poo around the nest. 🧵
A brown bird with a stout bluish-grey bill, and white on the front of the neck. He is sitting on an egg in the middle of a ring of poo. The ground is barren, dark and rocky.

I came across this northern water snake basking in perfect dappled light in the woods of southern Ohio. Switching to a wide angle lens let me show off its lush forest surroundings #nature #photography #naturephotography #snakes #photography

Two internet cables in Baltic Sea were likely sabotaged on Sunday-Monday time frame. @pekka.bsky.social has given pretty solid evidence that the culprit could be a Chinese vessel Yi Peng 3

Slender-billed curlew has become extinct. The last one was observed in 1995. @petteritolvanen.bsky.social mentions that he knows several people who had seen the species in the last century. And now it is not possible any more

Ramalina fraxinea (Cartilage lichen in English and Isorustojäkälä in Finnish) is common in south Finland (also in my neighbourhood forests in Mustikkamaa), but becomes pretty rare further north you go. It is sensitive to airpollution. This one had striking apothecia (fruiting bodies).

Wolf’s milk (Lycogala epidendrum) got split to 15 new species a couple of years ago. I recently spotted these. I havent learned to ID the new species yet, but these had a few characteristics that could allow to narrow the species: spotty surface, seems to grow also in groups, spores purple/pinkish

On a morning stroll, encounter a dead tree that was covered with a translucent film. IDer on iNat indicated this could be caused by Ermine Moths.

Bird photos are hard with just a mobile phone camera, but sometimes, when they don’t notice you, you can get a great shot by sneaking closer. European treecreeper, captured with iPhone 14 Pro.

Slimemold season is still strong in Finland. I found these three on my morning nature stroll around Mustikkamaa, Helsinki.
