Fingers crossed that the rats won't go get 'em.

Yeah, I am pretty sure I saw some kind of fly creep under its wing and it was itching for a bit already before I started filming.

A photo from a few weeks ago. According to the poo it left, it stayed around for about 3-4 nights. Have not seen it yet, hope it's doing fine. The other balcony locals are there, and i am going to have new pigeon babies on my balcony in a week, Martha and her partner are sitting on eggs ๐Ÿ™„ I've checked the eggs but they are a few days too far in development for my ethical compass to still swap them for fakes. Very well hidden.

I had no idea how you'd pronounce lychen, so thanks for the educational pun!

Nice one! Yeah they got some really cool restrooms spread around Norway.

I would want to recommend to see if there's not some community lab somewhere around you, chemicals are bit messy and many of them are not that long lasting either and then it may be a bit risky to still use it. I think it makes a lot of sense to share this stuff.

I was using diafine developer at home, because it has a long shelf life (rodinal too) and it pushes the films quite a bit, I was keen to be able to shoot fast shutter speeds. Also is quite fool proof. Now I am a member of some maker space kinda thing with a photo lab, have yet to use it though, really went digital in the last .. decade really ๐Ÿ˜… But I want to make use of it soon.

What a fluffy cute little fella.

But they are not scared of you, just the metro? Really cool.

[-] bonjour@mander.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

Damn. Only one chick left this morning.

.

That was a good week early. Guess it fell and a cat's got it. I looked around for it but no luck.

[-] bonjour@mander.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

Thank you for the great story. Your dog must still be dreaming of those sheep, haha.

Also love seeing the shepherd dogs at work, very professional.

One parent was just there to feed, that's how i saw them. It was doing a good job of feeding both, because it was sitting on the thin dark steel beam and could only feed the one that was closest, but then flew away for a second to land in between the chicks and feed the other one, which seems to have some feather condition on its neck.

Under the terrace roof of a cafe again. Hope they don't get hurt falling off that beam before they're ready, the feeding excitement looked really sketchy.

Yes, very much worth it, can make a big difference. Even though i turned to buy my local store's brand, I saw that they were rated very highly in a canned tomatoes test and they really taste good.

I am not sure if this can even be called a pizza crime because it's available in almost any pizzeria in Italy, may even be listed under the "classic pizza" section. I don't remember seeing this one at home and i have always been kinda keen to order it but never dared to.

So now I saw it in a focacceria and figured this was my chance - just a quick transaction, then I can eat it alone, somewhere where nobody sees me ๐Ÿ˜

Well, it was a bit underwhelming tbh. I might have to try it again with freshly fried fries, in a pizzeria, and eat it before the eyes of everybody else.

[-] bonjour@mander.xyz 14 points 6 days ago

Oh ok, thank you. It was really kinda tempting to try it, haha. At least some animals seem to like it though, I also saw some complete ones with red berries on it, but this was the biggest one I saw, coconut size.

Well it looked juicy, fruity, sugary to me, I did not try it. In this hot, dry, rocky landscape, this juicy wonder really sticks out.

Location is Sardinia.

I don't give a shit about your politics drama and want you to stop reposting my content here. You do so in order to reduce the interaction I get. Just stop it and leave me alone.

Although it's those pigeons turf as well. They are a heartbreakingly cute couple, one has no more toes on one foot at all, just a stump, the other one has severely damaged toes on one foot from an old case of stringfoot. Pigeons in this town are in very bad shape.

Chick in nest (mander.xyz)

At the right spot, with enough time and.. construction material, the pigeon nest can grow into something a lot more serious looking than the famous meme nests.

There are nests up to 30-40cm in height at that place.

Zero Scare Crow (mander.xyz)

There is this little crow at Piazetta Savoia in Cagliari who left its nest a bit early two weeks ago. The staff of the surrounding gastronomy fed it and now it is absolutely not scared of people and hangs around there. Doing all kinds of dorky baby crow stuff. Really crazy to see, never seen this before. It made me jump just now, as it nibbled on my sandals as I am writing this.

I passed by here earlier in the morning and was glad to not see it here, so it does seem to have a bit of a life outside of the Piazetta.

I am no crow expert, but I know that it quite often happens that crows leave their nest too early and then keep sitting on the ground. That does not mean the parents don't care for it anymore, but they may still be feeding it. So I would not just pick up a sitting baby crow before observing if the parents are still there for it. It could take a couple hours though.

Hooded crow having a cold drink. All the crows i have seen in Sardinia were hooded crows.

Hello. There are (at least) two rock doves hidden in this picture. Can you spot them? ๐Ÿ˜
