Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire is one of Britain's oldest nature reserves. The first parcel of land was aquired by the National Trust in 1899. Today it is preserved as an example of wild fenland - an island in the midst of intensively farmed fenland that surrounds it.
Wicken Fen has long associations with naturalists and ecologists from Cambridge University. Charles Darwin is known to have collected beetles here in the 1820s, whilst Godwin and Tansley helped establish the science of ecology with research conducted in the Fen a century later. Today, its wetland habitat is popular with bird watcher, but is also important for its invertebrate wildlife, most especially the dragonflies and damselflies.
Here Wicken Fen is seen in deep twilight with the rising full moon reflected in Wicken Lode, the main drainage channel that runs through the reserve.

Die intensive blaue Färbung der Glaslamellen an der Seitenwand des Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Hauses habe ich zum ersten Mal so wahrgenommen. Es ist nur eine Spiegelung des Himmels, vermutlich auch abhängig von der jeweiligen Stellung der Lamellen.
This is the first time I have noticed the intense blue colouring of the glass slats on the side wall of the Marie Elisabeth Lüders House. It is only a reflection of the sky, probably also depending on the position of the slats.

Nature will take revenge for what we are doing to animals: antibiotic resistance, environmental pollution, excessive consumption of essential terrestrial resources such as water and soil, climate change, danger of future pandemics....
The living conditions of animals in intensive farming are incompatible with minimum standards of animal welfare, and furthermore, they are leading the planet to collapse.
La natura si vendicherà di ciò che stiamo facendo agli animali: antibiotico resistenza, inquinamento ambientale, consumo eccessivo di risorse terrestri essenziali quali acqua e suolo, cambiamento climatico, pericolo di future pandemie....
Le condizioni di vita degli animali negli allevamenti intensivi sono incompatibili con standard minimi di benessere animale, e inoltre, stanno portando il pianeta al collasso.

I made this after seeing a photo of a 50s Christian Dior dress. I quite like how it turned out and it was fun to do something different. I only wish cartridge pleating weren't so labour intensive.

For profit, we are destroying the Planet, Mother Earth.
Intensive farming is responsible for environmental pollution, groundwater pollution, zoonoses and antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, they cause excessive consumption of essential terrestrial resources: water and soil. The animals lead a short life there without any regard for their ethology. Animal welfare is not compatible with profit: go vegan!
Per il profitto, stiamo distruggendo il Pianeta, Madre Terra.
Gli allevamenti intensivi sono responsabili di inquinamento ambientale, inquinamento delle falde acquifere, zoonosi, antibiotico-resistenza. Inoltre, causano un consumo eccessivo di risorse terrestri essenziali: acqua e suolo. Gli animali vi conducono una breve vita senza alcun riguardo per la loro etologia. Il benessere animale non è compatibile con il profitto: diventa vegan!

Una iniziativa di EUmans! rivolta ai candidati delle Elezioni Europee 2024: si chiede di fermare i sussidi, diretti e indiretti, agli allevamenti intensivi, modello agroalimentare non più sostenibile, come mostrato nel film Food For Profit.
Smettiamo di destinare i fondi europei a un'industria che inquina il pianeta e maltratta gli animali.
An initiative by EUmans! addressed to the candidates of the 2024 European Elections: we ask to stop direct and indirect subsidies to intensive farming, an agri-food model that is no longer sustainable, as shown in the film Food For Profit.
Let's stop allocating European funds to an industry that pollutes the planet and mistreats animals.

A rarity for here at our corner, which I want to dedicate to our friend António Guerra who is at this moment in the hospital, in the intensive care unit, after an emergency surgical operation.

Key deer (odocoileus virginianus clavium), the smallest of all white-tailed deer, is a subspecies of the Virginia white-tailed deer. These deer inhabit Big Pine Key and various surrounding keys. They are not found anywhere else in the world.
Due to uncontrolled hunting and habitat destruction, their numbers were estimated less than 50 animals in 1940's. With the establishment of National Key Deer Refuge in 1957 and intensive law enforcement efforts, the population has since increased and has now stabilized. The estimated population is approximately 600 deer on Big Pine Key and No Name Key (this does not include other keys in the deer's range).Highway mortality is the greatest known source of deer loss.
The shoulder height of Key deer is between 24-28 inches. Does weigh 45-65 pounds while bucks weigh 55-75 pounds.
Rutting season activities begin in September, peaking in early October and decreasing gradually through November and December. Some breeding may occur as late as February. The gestation period is 204 days with fawns born April through June. At birth fawns weigh 2-4 pounds.
Antlers are dropped February through March, and re-growth begins almost immediately so that by June, bucks with 2-inch stubs are seen. Antler growth is completed by August, and velvet is rubbed and kicked off in early September.
Key deer feed on native plants such as red, black and white mangroves, thatch palm berries and over 150 other species of plants. Key deer can tolerate small amounts of salt in their water and they will also drink brackish water, but fresh water is essential for their survival. They must also have suitable habitat to ensure their future existence.
No records exist documenting the origin of the deer in the keys. It is believed the deer migrated to the keys from the mainland many thousands of years ago, across a long land bridge. As the Wisconsin Glacier melted, the sea rose dividing the land bridge into small islands known as the Florida Keys.
The earliest mention of Key deer is found in the memoirs of Fontaneda, a shipwrecked Spaniard held captive by the local Indians. Records suggest that the deer were found around Key West and were used for food by residents and ship crews alike. Although early records indicated sporadic wider distribution of Key deer throughout the lower keys, current data indicates they occupy a range from Johnson Keys to Saddlebunch Keys.

Intensive Care
A birth. So many doctors in the room over by the newborn baby, only one finishing with the mother. The father, over by the baby, with a terrible look on his face.
The mother is taken to her room. So tired from the long ordeal and drugs, yet confused as to why the baby is not in the room with her, as is the usual custom now.
She is alone, as if everyone has forgotten about her. She calls the nurse to see what is happening and is told that they do not have any information nor do they know where her husband is.
And then the doctor comes in, grim, to tell her two babies had died in intensive care so things were a bit hectic at the moment. He also told her that her baby was also sick and in intensive care. That was where her husband was, with the then unnamed baby. They would try to get information to her soon, but with the other deaths, it was difficult right now.
The mother cried, only heard the word kidney. The doctor gave her a shot and put her to sleep. ©Teag Mcgillivary
