This is the end.

Oops.

(No, Vuko did not break this tree that was hanging above the ground, supported by a smaller tree. I did, a moment earlier)

Bruno on a wetland meadow.

Two friends in grass on a wetland meadow. I think Masza wanted to bite off Vuko's head, but they like each other very much, so maybe I'm wrong and it's a just a show of affection (I'm rarely wrong)

The guardian of a small village.

@idzie Right now this is not the most serious problem. Water loss and destruction of wetland habitats is.

That old linden tree is almost completely green, but the leaves are not its own, of course. It is being devoured by mistletoe. We'll miss that tree.

That's a pretty brave hare – there's a fox den really close from here.

Masza inspecting the site of a destroyed beaver dam. Apparently there were some first steps to repair it.

Masza considering crossing to the other side. Luckily she didn't.

An abandoned fish pond. Operations ceased being profitable, so this and a few more adjoining ponds are left alone by people. A great place for birds. Hope this won't change.

Bruno and Masza at the almost dry watering hole. This ditch should be full of water at this time of the year.

We have a core breach, repeat, we have a birch core birch [garbled glitching]

Lazy morning on the top of the highest mountain in the area.

Every move you make
Every step you take
I will stick to you

There's much more of them than last year, and there was no break during the winter. We're running out of tick body bags.

The thin white line between winter and summer.

Incidentally, this is almost exactly on a small watershed. Knowing the geography, geology, and hydrology of your area, even just a bit, really helps.

This means that something bad will happen to our wetlands.

The poor stork who bought that first-minute ticket and is now shivering in freezing rain. Way too early.

Not going to explain why the photos are so bad. Took them just to make sure I was not imagining things.
