#Wetlands are wet, they are happy. Our #dogs, #IdąPsięta, are wet, some are happy, some not. Our bedsheets will suffer from the canine vectored transfer of wetness. We're not happy about that, but generally we're happy. #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia

On today's walk in the #wetlands #forests of #Polesia we found remnants of the spirit of Christmas.

#IdąPsięta running to inspect our #wetlands. One CFIT incident, but no hull loss. #DogsOfMastodon

Thaw in our #wetlands in #Polesia

Bruno inspecting the #wetlands. We have thaw and snow is slowly melting but at temperatures around 4°C it will take many days before it disappears. #IdąPsięta #Polesia

On my way home. This is the easy part. #Polesia #EasternPoland #wetlands

We didn't expect that #snowplough today, we thought we'd be stuck for at least two more days. Last night those brave guys worked till midnight to clear roads to houses where children live, so that they could go to school today. One of those rare cases when I'm not mad breathing in diesel exhaust. #Polesia #wetlands #forest #RuralLife #EasternPoland

Snowing. #Polesia #wetlands #EasternPoland

Bruno's favourite pub. One of the few places around where there's always water, even in the summer, though a few months ago it went dry. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #wetlands #Polesia

Our pack of #dogs, #IdąPsięta, merge #DogsOfMastodon with #Mosstodon to give you the #DogsOfMosstodon

#Polesia #wetlands

Our #wetlands three years ago. Now you can walk here without wellies. At least we don't have wet #dogs in our bed. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon

Trying to decipher the logs, dazed and confused. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #wetlands

A slightly wet Polish Lowland #Sheepdog, Bruno, of the #IdąPsięta pack, in our slightly wet #wetlands. There should be much more water here now, but we're losing it quickly as old ditches are cleared to make meadows in the background easier to mow. Farmers don't really need all that hay, but they get paid for this, and if they don't mow them they will get no money.

One of the innumerable monuments Masza, of the #IdąPsięta pack of #dogs, has in the #wetlands and #forests of #Polesia in #EasternPoland. #DogsOfMastodon

Finally the ditches are frozen and the #dogs of the #IdąPsięta pack can roam a wider area of our #wetlands. #DogsOfMastodon

Our #wetlands are being drained. Come next summer, the wet meadows won't be wet any more.

This #wetlands #meadow should be completely under water at this time of the year. Our #dogs, #IdąPsięta, can find spots where they can get a drink, but none where they can swim. #DogsOfMastodon

Two #dogs of the #IdąPsięta pack watching slow destruction of their #wetlands. Ditches were recently cleared and #water is flowing out more quickly than usually. Water reserves for the coming hot season will be much smaller. #ClimateChange #HabitatLoss
