It's December so welcome to the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar featuring a different species each day for 24 days. We start with a Southern Migrant Hawker. A fairly recent arrival in the UK; this one was at #CanveyIsland #Essex in July. They like ditches with very little water, even if they dry out in summer. They're huge compared to most other UK species. #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography

Some birds on 11.29 at Loft's Pond, one of south shore Nassau County's multitude of small fresh- and brackish-water ponds originally part of a broad coastal marshland, but now embedded in suburbia. These are important-- although insufficient by themselves -- habitats for many species of fauna, way-stations for migrating birds and winter residences for waterfowl. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was a particularly accommodating subject, landing in a bush close by and, later, on a tree right over my head. The Green-winged Teals, foraging in the pond, were also relatively tranquil subjects, for a change. I chose not to crop so as not to lose perspective of our current engagement with their habitat. The other species shown are a White-throated Sparrow and, yes, a Red-BELLIED Woodpecker 😜 .

"Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are fairly small woodpeckers with stout, straight bills. The long wings extend about halfway to the tip of the stiff, pointed tail at rest. Often, sapsuckers hold their crown feathers up to form a peak at the back of the head. Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are mostly black and white with boldly patterned faces. Both sexes have red foreheads, and males also have red throats [this one is a female]. Look for a long white stripe along the folded wing. Bold black-and-white stripes curve from the face toward a black chest shield and white or yellowish underparts."(AllAboutBirds)
"A pair of Green-winged Teals in a pond containing some plastic and other waste. "Green-winged Teal are very small ducks. They have short, blocky bodies and their tails sit high out of the water. The head is large, the neck is short, and the bill is relatively small. Adult males have grayish bodies with a narrow white vertical stripe extending from the waterline to the shoulder. In good light, their dark heads are cinnamon with a wide green swoop from the eye to the back of the neck. Females are brown with a yellowish streak along the tail. Both sexes have green wing patches in the secondaries (speculum), but these may be hidden when not in flight." (AllAboutBirds).
"White-throated Sparrows are brown above and gray below with a striking head pattern. The black-and-white-striped head is augmented by a bright white throat and yellow between the eye and the bill, which is gray. You’ll also see a less boldly marked form, known as “tan-striped,” with a buff-on-brown face pattern instead of white-on-black." (AllAboutBirds)
The Red-bellied Woodpecker "often appears pale overall, even the boldly black-and-white striped back, with flashing red cap and nape. Look for white patches near the wingtips as this bird flies." (AllAboutBirds). And, oh, yes, the belly does have a red wash.

It took a while before I saw a bee-eater living up to its name

Here's a couple of Rainbow Bee-eaters hunting from a tall branch. In one shot it appears a carpenter bee is meeting its end, but most of the prey being grabbed from the sky while we watched were dragonflies

Rainbow Dragonfly-eater is a bit clumsy to say though, I see that. Rainbow Dragonslayer perhaps?

Science shows #ClimateChange 🌡️ is causing adverse impact on humans and these will get worse.

Droughts 🥵, Floods 🌊, Storms 🌪️ heatwaves ♨️ and wildfires 🔥 are all getting more intense and more frequent

Time to go #NetZero as soon as possible.

In defence of the status quo, we are made to belief that asking for richer public space, safety for our children or a higher quality of live is 'Radical Activism'. 🌳🚲

You are not a radical. They are! 🚩

During the lifetime of many people alive today, vast regions of our planet will become significantly more hostile to human life.

2 billion people will be exposed to extreme heat in a world warmed by 2.7 degrees.

One of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS your city could do to become more healthy, sustainable, livable, affordable, equitable, successful — stop pretending to “balance” transportation modes, and commit to PRIORITIZING walking/rolling, biking, public transit. 🚶🚴

There are no active fire fronts in Rhodes, Corfu and central Greece, but firefighters remain vigilant as strong winds remain a threat

This month is on track to be the hottest month ever recorded. 🔥🌎⚠

Data shows that the first 3 weeks of July shattered temperature records.

This chart shows the globally averaged surface air temperature for 1 - 23 July for each year from 1940 to 2023.

‘Something weird is going on’: search for answers as Antarctic sea ice stays at historic lows. 🧊🗻

Some scientists fear the ‘shocking’ shift is the beginning of a global heating-linked collapse of the ice that could have alarming knock-on effects.

Most of the excess atmospheric heat from climate change is passed back to the ocean. 🌎🔥🌊

As a result, upper ocean heat content has increased significantly over the past few decades.
