The other gateway is waterproof and will survive, like many times before.

It's raining at last. I had to take one #LoRaWAN gateway down and put it under the roof.

A storm is coming.

Sending quite a strong signal from here. This means our #LoRaWAN seems to be functioning properly at last.

#Polesia #wetlands

Tractors invading our wetlands. It wouldn't normally pass here, but we have drought.

Miało jebnąć, a nie jebło.

#IdąPsięta can't decide which way to go.

@undefined This is what we briefly had at home three years ago. Soon after that they were released in their swamp.

All that's left of the turtle nest today – a hole in the ground.

Yesterday in the evening, one day before #WorldTurtleDay, a park ranger came by and dug out 15 eggs. They were taken to a safe place and will hatch in 3 months. Had it not been so close to the road, the nest would have stayed under our care.

Right after she laid her eggs and went back to her swamp, a bit before midnight, we secured her nest to prevent foxes from having a feast with fine wire mesh. Soil was too compacted for metal pins we usually use to hold well, so I added a couple of bricks.

Ready to lay her eggs, better to leave her alone.

Many hours later (this all happened yesterday, I had no time to download and post the photos) – the turtle found a good spot for her nest. She spent a lot of time to determine optimal sunlight and soil condition, but she didn't take fucking humans into equation and laid the eggs on the side of a road, where cars and tractors drive. The nest will have to be moved.

At first we thought it was Dorota, who always comes first, but we checked old pictures and the markings don't match.

Oh. A European pond turtle, Emys orbicularis. We weren't expecting them before the next week.

There's something unusual on our driveway.

Masza and Vuko cosplaying Gandalf and Balrog. The grass is doing all it can to look like a cave.

Going home with the groceries. Through Big One. Big One is a small hamlet near our home. At least that's what we call it, because the first part of the hamlet's name translates to Big and the second is a homophone of One.
