Jumpluff is a round, blue plant Pokémon with red, pupilless, beady eyes, two small, round feet, and a tail. These puffs produce cotton spores that Jumpluff can use to float in the air, and it can control its flight even in a hurricane.

Jumpluff drifts on seasonal winds and can use its spores to masterfully maneuver itself around the globe. It will spread cotton spores as it floats around to create offspring; inhaling these spores may cause coughs and itchiness. It descends if it encounters cold air currents while it is floating. Though it spends a good amount of time in the air, it is commonly sighted above open temperate grasslands. Once Jumpluff runs out of its cotton spores, its journey — and its life — reaches its end.

Commentary Will add later at work. Alright I want to melt. For this piece I knew movement was essential with a lovely parallax scrolling program freshly bought I decided to try and create the idea of something flying across the seas to its new home.

How many waterbirds do you see in this pattern? One is a migratory raptor! 

Every January bird lovers and scientists join the Asian Waterbird Census or AWC. They count waterbirds, or birds “ecologically dependent on wetlands” (Wetlands Int. 2018). Wetlands include coasts, mangroves areas, rivers, lakes, marshes and other similar areas.

Join the count! Recommended dates for counting are January 6 to 21. Forms, guides, and more information can be found at the South Asia Wetlands International website at: bit.ly/awc2024

Or contact your local biologist or bird-lover at Wetlands International Philippines, Haribon Foundation, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), or local environment group.

Migratory by R J Dent - a new poem written 25/12/2023:

Migratory

They spell out a page

  of something

  in a foreign language

  as they fly overhead –

  or music –

The sound

  of feather rustle, pinion creak

  and wax cracking.

Over the lake they almost

  become legible,

  tangible –

  a secret almost revealed.

Belligerent by nature and ever thirsting for battle, Galarian Zapdos seeks out opponents stronger than itself so it could test its might. Its powerful legs allow it to perform devastating kicks capable of destroying a dump truck, and it can run across mountains at up to 180 mph (300 km/h). Its wings have atrophied to the point that it can barely fly, but its movements are so swift that they have been compared to a lightning strike. This Pokémon earned the name of its Kantonian counterpart due to the electric-like crackling sounds that come from its feathers rubbing together. It is constantly migrating around the world but can be found in the Crown Tundra once every few decades congregating with the other birds at the Dyna Tree to eat its fruits.
