It took twenty years for the horizon to disappear. I made this to capture the specific sadness of watching the open fields of my childhood turn into concrete. It wasn’t just a change in scenery; it felt like the world actually got smaller. 🧵 #Urbanization #Nostalgia #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome

Die letzte Brut der #Zwergseeschwalbe in #NRW fand übrigens 1953 am Niederrhein statt. Noch früher kam die Art wohl auch bei Bonn als Brutvogel vor.

Kleine #Vögel, große Reise – und große Probleme: Die #Zwergseeschwalbe ist „Seevogel des Jahres 2026“. Zwischen Nordsee & Westafrika legt sie jährlich Tausende Kilometer zurück. Doch #Klimawandel, Hochwasser & menschlicher Einfluss machen ihr zu schaffen: @thomaskrumenacker.bsky.social
Zwergseeschwalbe: Bedrohter Seevogel des Jahres 2026 braucht Hilfe
Die vom Aussterben bedrohte Zwergseeschwalbe wurde zum Seevogel des Jahres 2026 gewählt. Der Klimawandel und menschliche Einflüsse gefährden ihr Überleben.

Both county obs and the OS have said decent nos. irt some passerines some days this past week.
Are those nos really 'decent'?
Or examples of #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome in Kent?
Are we really satisfied/accepting our declining trends?

In Germany, the Common Rock Thrush is a rare bird of very few remote Alpine spots at high elevation in the South. This one is totally out of place up north at sea level on Heligoland island.

Most people suffer from #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome and don't really notice how nature is disappearing before their eyes.
This, combined with our hustle culture, consumerism + ego cultivation, leads to a complete lack of understanding that intact nature is the basis of all life.
