“The Fly-In” — Thousands of migratory geese arrive in the wetlands at sunset.
A day spent photographing migratory geese and other birds often includes a lot of “slow time” when little is happening. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing — sometimes the quiet and stillness is enough by itself. But around sunrise and sunset there is often a of activity as large flocks of birds take to the air and head to nighttime locations. If you are where they arrive, it is the “fly-in.” When they depart, we refer to the “fly-out.”…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/12/the-fly-in-2/

“These ideas and images were inspired by my experiences living abroad and returning to my homeland. As well as by the artists featured on this album who also somehow traveled or lived in other countries across the boundaries, and being influenced by the music of other lands but at the same time somehow led to their roots.”

Masayoshi Fujita Embraces Melodic Calm on 'Migratory'
The first album he made in his homeland is titled Bird Ambience (2021). He now returns with Migratory, inspired by an image of migratory birds hearing music from the land underneath.
“These ideas and images were inspired by my experiences living abroad and returning to my homeland,” explains Fujita.

The #Education for #Nature – #Vietnam #ENV, one of the country’s #pioneering social organisations in #wildlife #conservation, has released a 2 minute video clip titled "Chim troi keu cuu" (wild birds cry out for help) to urge the #community to refrain from #WildBird consumption and join #protection efforts.
The clip exposes haunting and cruel moments of the widespread destruction of the feathered animals, giving only a glimpse of the acts prevalent in many localities nationwide.
Vietnam is among the 25 countries with the richest #diversity of wild #birds species globally. However, #poaching and #IllegalTrading pose serious threats to hundreds of #indigenous and #migratory bird species in the country. In localities such as #QuangNinh and #ThaiBinh in the north and #ThuaThien - #Hue in the central region, #poachers employ sophisticated methods including decoys and birdsong mimicking devices to lure the animals, followed by nets, traps, or guns for capture. This rampant hunting seriously jeopardises Vietnam's #biodiversity.

I am a silly goose cartoon man and these are my silly goose cartoons.
We moved further to the west to Las Marismas de Barbate with our guests yesterday
Here we were enthralled with the history, culture and splendour of Northern Bald #Ibis feeding and at the nearby colony, masses of #migrating #Shorebirds and #migratory passerines like this one of several Eurasian #Hoopoes passing through !
I usually post a sunset but tonight the swans were in the cove. I didn’t have my camera so excuse the quality. It could never do justice to how beautiful they are.
