Following a landscape through time. I study how biodiversity linked to grasslands and deciduous woods are affected by landscape changes. This set of change is so common in Sweden. There is no space left for species to inhabit or disperse #communityecology 🧪🌍

But I can't keep up anymore. Three intense days are perfect. The thought of doing it 12 days and with dedicated borders is my idea of the first circle of Hell.
You can have too much of a good thing. This trip have been perfect. 89 different #bird species. (My guess was 88)

I swapped snow and slush for a bit of birding in Andalucia. Lots of brilliant landscapes and birds. One of the scariest drives I've driven in mountains paid of with a lovely Iberian Ibex.

Questions we discussed during 2 1/2 days were: How did the 'forest' or rather outland look like? How many trees were there in the in-fields? And how do we get it back? #culturalheritage #restoration #learningbydoing
