A swan floating in the sky. I think I should change my meds.

Stara bryka. Śpiewano o niej pieśni.

The only visible damage after the last night's storm, didn't even bother moving it.

I've been living in the #wetlands of #Polesia permanently for the past eight years and this is the first time a saw a beaver in the wild (that small bump in the water). When I was taking the photograph I didn't know it was there, I just wanted an image of the small dam under construction. My wife saw that beaver moments later. I tried to take a photograph but the settings were wrong so nothjng came out.

Managed to catch a wildlife photographer in the #wetlands. More rare than the moose.

It took us a while to figure out what the fuck is going in this picture, and we might be wrong. #Polesia will always surprise you.

Now you know the secret of milk from #Polesia.

#IdąPsięta on a levee. There's no water in the ditch, just a bit of mud. We don't want them in pur bed tonight.

#Polesia

Bruno is very visible, almost as if he got repeatedly boosted.

After the rain it was cool enough for Bruno to come with us for a walk, so here are all five #IdąPsięta together, bravely trotting through the forests of #Polesia

After a sudden shower during another hot day the fog is rising on the #wetlands of #Polesia. This is just a brief respite. The coming days will be worse.

Today was very hot. It got a bit cooler just before the storm so #IdąPsięta and I went on a short walk near the house. Fortunately a tractor passed here recently, otherwise walking in the tall grass would not have been possible.

#Polesia #wetlands

A ditch in the #wetlands of #Polesia – or maybe I should call them the *former* wetlands of Polesia. It should not be dry.

Western Polesia got fucked up in the 1950s when a huge canal, the Wieprz-Krzna Canal (don't try to pronounce it) was built to turn wetlands into farmland. Farming yields increased for a few years but then fell to levels lower than before. Over 73% of wetlands were destroyed between 1956 and 2006. And the process is still going on.

Another ditch nearby is full of water. It has been recently cleared and is draining whatever is left of the water here. The clearing of the ditch was financed by the local environment protection agency.

This tree is not dead yet – this is the tree of death. Raptors sit on the dead branches with a clear view of the surrounding fields full of rodents.

If you bought a piece of #Polesia for your garden, please send it back. Our wetlands are not happy.
