This meant they needed a large territory strictly for horse foraging, especially because the lack of water and need for wintering grounds limited the number of destinations that could sustain large herds, even for a short time.

Millions of birds are now flying to their wintering grounds.
You can help make their journeys a little safer by turning off your non-essential outdoor lights (such as decorative lights, landscape lighting, and unnecessary exterior lights on homes and other buildings).

Six years on, ringed Eurasian whimbrel resighted on Keralam coast; marked Tibetan sand-plover also recorded
With the winter migratory bird season under way, two marked shorebirds recorded along the Keralam coast earlier this month offer clues to migration routes, stop-over sites, links between breeding and wintering grounds, and the movements of individual birds. A Eurasian whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus) ringed at Kadalundi-Vallikkunnu Community Reserve more than six years ago has been resighted on the Elathur beach, about 20 km from the reserve, in Kozhikode, while a Tibetan sand-plover (Anarhynchus atrifrons) spotted on the Chavakkad beach had been banded in Mumbai in 2025. Black flag and ring Abdulla Paleri, a Kozhikode-based ornithologist and Assistant Professor at Dignity College of Arts and Science, Perambra, photographed a Eurasian whimbrel on the Elathur beach on September 19. According to him, the bird had a ‘black flag’ bearing the alphanumeric code ‘0J3’ on its left leg and a metal ring on its right leg. The black flag, fitted on the upper part of its leg, indicated that the bird had been marked in south India under a bird-banding programme of the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), which uses a single ‘black flag’ with a unique alphanumeric code for waders marked in southern India. On September 12, a Tibetan sand-plover was seen...

The rest of the Sea is drying up at an increasing rate and I'm not sure what the plan is for pollution control from all the dust blowing around. We still get the sandhill cranes and snow geese in winter, but I think many of them are wintering somewhere else than the Imperial Valley now.

Interesting to see the wintering Blackcap record. My late Mother saw one at Bangor in the early 1960's. IIRC she did inform someone official (University or Nature Conservation) at the time.
Unfortunately she only started keeping diaries & separate wildlife records from '65 and early '70s resp.

Oystercatchers resting on the sandbars as the tide flowed in at #BelhavenBay #EastLothian. Numbers build through autumn as wintering birds join those resident here year-round, with some maybe travelling from as far afield as Iceland, Norway and the Faroes.

Anyone out there have any experience with solar generation set ups like Jackery? I'm looking at heat & light setup for wintering/starting plants indoors, without punching up the power bill any more than it already is. It's a colder room but fully cat-proof. There are major renos under discussion

As you read it, you get the idea passers will be a long time getting tighter in methodolgies. Accuracy vs precision in play.
Only passage estimate made was for AquWa, due to global threat.

Ooh the first of this year’s #chili crop have dried!
Var. ‘Big Devil’
~2000 SHU they are described as jalapeno-like. I’ve tasted one and it is warm and smokey.
Not many fruits this year but I’m going to try over wintering the plants to get ahead next year.
Next pair in the greenhouse to dry.
