How to wake up correctly every day

If you’re not screaming since the early morning, what’s the point? — Whenever I think I managed to wake up early, I look around and see that birds are already out and about. The sun is barely up, and they’re up already. Maybe it’s because they’re excited to see what their day will bring. Maybe it’s because they know that anything can…

Waiting for the rain

I initially planned on writing about the lack of water retention systems in Poland and the destruction of naturally occurring aspects of the environment that act as one, but today's spring rain made the air smell so lovely that I was in no mood to darken it. …

A thing that always makes me laugh

2 out of 9 questions To Brighten Up Your Day — The weird thing about living in a home with mixed languages is the language that gets created in between. I was living in a French-Polish home where one side wasn’t speaking Polish very well, so the majority of communication was conducted in French (as I learned a couple of years…

All the patterns of white wagtails

For a small black, grey, and white bird, the differences are astonishing — If you live anywhere from Iceland to Ethiopia, from Senegal to Japan, and from Norway to India, you have a chance to see a white wagtail crossing your path. And most likely it will cross your path instead of flying over it. They run after insects, and their tail wagging…

A fragrance that brings back great memories

1 out of 9 questions To Brighten Up Your Day — Sandra Jasionowska wrote 9 positive questions to ask yourself and answer to bring a bit of positivity into our Medium feed. So here I am doing just that. The first question is about the sense of smell. Frankly, it’s hard not to repeat Sandra’s response because Poland has a specific…

Another month on Medium

Sixth, to be precise — February was a month when my supplies of audio recordings were depleted. The last time I had a chance to record was in September and spreading content till almost March is an accomplishment, but also a draining experience for someone who told themself to write every day.

In memory of Zoom H1N

All the things recorded — This audio recorder was bought spontaneously a week before a trip to fish lakes in Niezgoda. I haven’t had much hope about it, but after it was lost, I miss it probably more than any other thing. Even if I’m fortunate enough that buying another audio recorder won’t affect my…

Here it is: Lake 6:42–8:26

A new triple collection of bird sounds is out — This series of recordings transfer you to a small swampy lake. The city is nearby, but the forests aren’t picturesque enough for many human visitors — which means they are perfect for birds. This audio is one of the nicest I have gotten so far. It’s much more relaxing…

The year of big topics

I’m casually sitting by my desk on a Thursday evening after more than 10 hours of sitting by my desk professionally. My mind doesn’t want to write, so this will be a short note before I start packing for tomorrow's bird-watching trip. Yesterday I went to my home district for…
