Spot of fieldwork with @bardseyben.bsky.social and @trevormaclaurin.bsky.social

Stalagmite in the cave of aven d'Orgnac. I'm not sure of the official name but it definitely should be: The Snail.

The nightlife here in France is quite something!

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).

New Coleoptera record for Europe. Sthereus ptinoides found on Faroese beaches.
Origin: Far-east Siberia!?

First (but hopefully not last) scientific publication on our species inventory on #Koltur came out today. Big thanks to all our collaborators! Publicly available under: ojs.setur.fo/index.php/fr...

Always an adventure visiting our more inaccessible monitoring plots on the Northern side of #Koltur.

#TodaysOffice #Tjóðsavnið @leivurjanushansen.bsky.social

Elodes pseudominuta is one of the species which is more common on #Koltur than expected. We find it during July among mosses in the vicinity of small streams.

#Tjóðsavnið #Coleoptera

Me and my colleagues at #Tjóðsavnið have studied the island #Koltur since 2019. Our species checklist is now publicly available on @gbif.org. And the first publication is on the way...

Cutest field assistant we ever had.

Me and @agneskreiling.bsky.social have seen a lot of cool species while on vacation in #Spain: #chamalaeon, #flamingo, #octopus and a huge #robberfly.

It has been a treat visiting @Theresahenke.bsky.social and hear about her work on #bioinvasions.

Seabirds are our compass!🌊

Did you know the largest High Seas Marine Protected Area (MPA) outside Antarctica was identified from seabird tracking data?🌍

The NACES MPA is used by up to five million birds, such as Arctic Tern and Atlantic Puffin.

Finally checked off "rove beetle wing folding" from my need to film list. New video up now: youtu.be/uvXxiUjw-xY

Flower visitation observations in sunny weather! Lots of #Diptera on Caltha palustris outside my office.

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.

Oystercatcher

Puffin

Common starling

It's #GlobalBigDay today. Tens of thousands of people have been out recording birds. I did not put in a lot of effort, but managed 28 species.
