It is particularly noticeable during winter, when it can be seen across the Patagonian Andes. 🧵 1/409 Aug 2026 03:51 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3msmomrebt22fhttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3ms7avqvrfk2iLet's see what the #fungi community on Bluesky can do 🍄 I live in #Patagonia, and after a few rainy days followed by sunshine, #mushrooms have started popping up everywhere. I'm trying to #identify this one. Does anyone recognize the species? Any help would be greatly appreciated! #Nature03 Aug 2026 19:40 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms7avqvrfk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3mrwufiky222mA year ago I started my journey into #naturephotography. I've always loved spending time #outdoors, and as a #biologist, #photography is the perfect way to combine my profession with my passion for nature. I'm excited for what's ahead and looking forward to sharing my work with the world. 🧉🙌31 Jul 2026 11:35 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrwufiky222mhttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3mqzygzkvb22oToday's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #triplets. Quite challenging. Nevertheless, I've seen very nice photos under today's BOTD theme. Three yellow-billed pintails (Anas georgica) searching for food in a pond. I really like the colours and water texture in these photos. #Birds #NaturePhotography20 Jul 2026 00:01 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqzygzkvb22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3mqtshazdc22gEven though in #Patagonia there are no species of the family #Corvidae, we do have a very wide #BlueSky. Today's #BirdOfTheDay for me will be the beautiful Geranoaetus polyosoma (variable hawk or Ñanco), from the #Accipitridae family. #NaturePhotography17 Jul 2026 12:57 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqtshazdc22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3mqndgwpm3k2tA green-barred #woodpecker (Colaptes melanolaimus), a species found in the south of South America, seeking refuge from the rain.

I would like to share this sequence of a missed attempt to catch prey of a #greyheron as part of the #OpenBeaks theme.

During a 30 minutes walk in my family's farm, I photographed 4 different orders of #birds. 1 accipitriformes, 1 piciformes, 1 anseriformes and 3 passeriformes.13 Jul 2026 15:30 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqjz4vdgoc2whttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3mqdtfcxmf22qI find it very interesting how #birds love to show up the second I put my camera away. The reward for all my patience, I guess... However, unlike what happens with failed experiments, frustration does not get to me. I could be mocked by animals any day.11 Jul 2026 04:31 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqdtfcxmf22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3mq3snjewys2rI often ask myself: why is it that so many #birds in 🇦🇷Patagonia have #Orange coloured feathers? Carotenoid-rich diets or evolutionary convergence? For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme I chose the charismatic rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda), a true icon of the Andean woods. #NaturePhotography07 Jul 2026 23:57 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq3snjewys2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3mpvx7enmec2rToday's #BirdOfTheDay #theme is #Ebony&Ivory, birds that have black and white. This once rated #nearthreatened white stork (Ciconia ciconia), is now considered as #lowconcern thanks to a range of #conservation strategies. I took these photos in Basel, Switzerland, where its population now thrives.05 Jul 2026 16:02 +0000at://did:plc:nyd2ojkzbfp2mvb4psyv7kix/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpvx7enmec2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/jaq-jak.bsky.social/post/3mpu66pwljs24Today, a brief story on the Magellanic Woodpecker. This 45cm giant relies on Patagonia's old forests, which could be at risk by fires & growing urban pressure if we don't pay close attention to their population.
