Bob and dogbert nature walk. And snitching on farmer

A farmer vandalised bird boxes I have been maintaining with a friend. He also destroyed the bushes around the ones he didn’t destroy which is not legal.

Streamable

went to a local children’s farmstead and saw a bunch of animals. the condition of the enclosures were not the best and definitely reflect the bare minimum standards. the bop enclosures barely had any branching (pictures included) and the cows had the tiniest spaces. i’m definitely not going back

Went to a small local theater to see Wild Inside, the documentary about Flaco the owl, who escaped Central Park Zoo and lived in the area for a little over a year. It’s a beautiful and tragic story. Tahoma Bird Alliance helped introduce the show, which included info about protecting local birbs.

A sunset walk to try to avoid the heat and a mini trash haul, someone fluffy was very anxious for his walk.

“Cat days” of summer

Some veggies from our garden, fluffy bee friends in one of the local pollinator pathway gardens, and Camden was very tired of grocery shopping and just wanted a walk.

1 month internship at a conservation NGO in Malaysia

a small batch of hawksbill hatchlings, a few hours old

our chaotic attempt to document a moving mother turtle (I think hawksbill as well but hard to tell)

This NGO focuses on costal ecosystem, Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtle conservation. A big inspiration for applying for this was Alveus, so thanks! I spent most of the time educating tourists and releasing baby hatchlings. Didn't have AC tho in tropical heat so not all glamorous

Some fun activities

This post has no videos or images.

It’s not a ton, but I’ve been more conscious about my energy usage and water usage and stuff :3

keeping lights off, limiting ac usage, shorter showers, etc

also my brother found a really cute lil garter snake (he couldn’t get a picture cause the snake did not want to be held)

My rescue cat's extraordinary progress

Seen on stream

A domestic medium hair cat with a mix of white/ tabby laying by our kitchen window looking outside. — Third day since her adoption.

The same cat on the floor, with an almost perfect loaf posission, closing her eyes. — Forth day since adopting her ( I closed my eyes in front of her before this picture).

My cat laying in my bed in a shrimp position, using my bed cover as a body pillow. — Forth day (afternoon). I think this is her first time trying a bed.

Today is a little bit different,

I want people to see the rewarding of adopting a shelter cat who was from a bad situation. This will be our fifth day with her today. It seems like she also chose us. Her foster mom did great socializing her. This is an adult cat, they need love too. Please adopt!
