Yesterday we imported 142.450 bird sightings from Suriname. A nice expension of observations in a country full of nature. Did you know that more than 700 bird species have been identified in Suriname? Source: surinamebirds.nl Picture: Spotted Puffbird, Wim Rubers.

We just finished our video! It's a perfect introduction to our online nature platform Observation International. We share observational data about global biodiversity, past and present, as a source of knowledge for the future. youtu.be/fx759iLDqM0.

Great news - From now on Observation.org observations can also be found on GBIF! Nearly 40 million sightings with more than 5 million photos, collected and checked by many volunteers: gbif.org/dataset/8a8630… @GBIF #CitizenScience

Tomorrow the new and improved site will be available. We have given Observation a new look. The site has been completely rebuilt so we, and your data, are future-proof. We hope you enjoy the new site. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. info@observation.org.

Catching my eye this morning. The Cinnabar (Tyria jacobaeae) a striking black-and-red #moth that also flies during the day. As a result of this it is often mistaken for a #butterfly. #Hertfordshire #insect #pollinators @Team4Nature @savebutterflies @NatureUK

Join our Belgian partner @natagora as they organise 'crossing guard' support to biodiversity as our amphibian friends migrate from forest to pond. if you can spare an evening, it’s a small help for biodiversity, and great fun. bit.ly/2UcxJHD
