Happy (Vultures Playing in the) Thermals Thursday!
It probably is kind of fun to be a parent bird and find big fat bugs to put in your child’s goalpost mouth. And the more you do it the larger your baby gets, which shows your progress. Mine is reaally big, think I’m going to get a high score this time. It has a unique skin too, I’ve never even seen this one before. Has anyone gotten that one, dark brown and white belly with stripes? It’s not even in my Wrenpedia, it has to be a really special unlock
I’d appreciate if you didn’t call my child a “parasite”, thank you very much! Typical r/childfree

Not a "true finch", this bird is in the tanager family.

Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!
Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-
You don’t know me

My final for the first year of my fashion and textile course :] fossils cardigan featuring living fossils like coelacanth and lots of dinosaur bones. Big love letter to palaeontology and natural history. Got super into my knitting machine but I wasn’t very adept with it yet so I sort of crocheted around the edges of my pieces and sewed them all together, and crocheted some edges/ribbing. The buttons are handmade from polymer clay. Used some second hand gold yarn I found in a charity shop and a whole bunch of mixed variegated wool together. My most ambitious project yet I completely just did not speak to people for that final month I was working on this 😭
Some close ups:
And my watercolour paintings this piece was based on:
Pond horsey
Chip used to escape into the pine barrens and go in ponds to eat yellow pond lilies. This brings back memories.

Wilson’s Phalarope (Phalaropus tricolor), female, family Scolopacidae, order Charadriiformes, WA, USA
Female phalaropes are more colorful than males, and the females court the males.
The drably colored males tend the eggs, nest, and chicks.
