One more of the stunning Welcome Swallow from today's adventure, because I think it's too good not to share.

I visited the Cranbourne Royal Botanic Gardens for the first time today, and the grounds were stunning. While I was there I was lucky enough to have a Welcome Swallow pose for me on a branch overhanging a body of water. I don't recall ever having seen one before - perhaps because they're so small and speedy. They're very beautiful birds, and there were quite a few of them flitting about at the gardens here today. I hope to see more of them.

Het gebruik van pesticiden met pfas vormt een groot risico voor het drinkwater, zegt de Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport. ‘Met de huidige gehaltes die in de bodem verdwijnen, vergiftigen we in rap tempo onze drinkwaterbronnen.’ ⚠️
Pfas is de verzamelnaam van een groep stoffen die het milieu en de gezondheid van mensen bedreigt.
Drinkwaterbedrijven kunnen TFA met de gebruikelijke technieken nauwelijks verwijderen

🧊 NEW: Scientists squeezed water between #diamond tips under millions of atmospheres while #lasers pushed temperatures past 2,000°C.
Locked in place rather than boiling, the #water formed hexagonal close-packed superionic #ice, fixed #oxygen with #hydrogen flowing between like liquid. The phase may exist inside #Uranus and #Neptune, reshaping models of their unusual magnetic fields.

⏱️ NEW: #Ctesibius, a Greek inventor of the 3rd century BCE, turned the ancient #clepsydra into an automated #water clock.
A feeding reservoir steadied the flow, while a siphon reset the cycle each day and a floating marker tracked daylight hours. It beat every clock on #Earth until 1656, when the pendulum arrived.

The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians has recognized the inherent legal rights of the Longperson waterway.
Spearheaded by Indigenous girls aged 10 to 17, the resolution is the first all-female-led rights-of-nature effort in the U.S.

Researchers replaced part of the cement with #biochar made from heat-treated human #sewage. Mixes with 5 and 10% replacement gained up to 42% more strength after curing. The silica-rich, porous biochar appears to hold #water and aid chemical bonding.
