For the Splinterland players out there, fantastic news: SPS token will begin trading on Huobi tomorrow! Up to this date, it baffled me how the most played blockchain game wasn't trading in any major exchange... maybe this is the beginning? Next few months will be interesting! ;)

My wildlife photography: the black kite, Milvus migrans. This beautiful bird of prey is very common in Spain, and it's easy recognized in flight by its tail shape. But here, caught a lone bird perching and looking at the horizon, at DoΓ±ana national park. Can totally understand him, the view was great; and the park is filled with wildlife, especially birds!
My wildlife photography: the corn bunting, Emberiza calandra. These little guys are faster heard than seen, since they have a song very easy to recognize. They are bulkier passerines, and don't mind posing for photos as well, so chances are that apart from hearing them, you will see them too!
My wildlife photography: the mallard, Anas platyrhynchos. Mallards can be seen all over the place, but this one had some of the brightest colours I've seen. He was resting near a half frozen lake in Reikjavik, so I was able to get pretty close to get this shot.
BTC seems to be on an upward channel, on the daily chart. Channels are normally broken but... when? And to which side? :) Have no idea what will the market do, but curious to see how crypto markets will react this Summer, amidst all the turmoil in the world right now.
Circle of life can be hard sometimes, but it is what it is. We have to focus on the good parts... as it is now. π Welcome to the family, Mia.
My wildlife photography: the european stonechat, Saxicola rubicola. This was one of the first species I learned to identify: it has a distinct colour pattern, males and females are dimorphic (meaning the have diferent plummage), and they normally like to perch on top of bushes, fences and poles, out in the open, making them very easy to spot. A novice birdwatcher's dream! Two females and two males here, males have a black head.
It's been a while since I got decent daily quest rewards on Splinterlands. Been playing less this season, and competition seems a lot tougher now, but I managed to get 12 chests today, and the rewards were definitely good: 1 epic, one golden rare, almost 1k DEC and a buttload of potions! I need all the potions I can get when I open my CL packs. ;)
My wildlife photography: the scaly breasted munia, Lonchura punctulata. These birds are often found in the pet trade, and it was great seeing them on their natural habitat. Here, in Bali, feasting in the rice fields near Ubud.
Time for some relax days! Back in a place with soo many child memories, catching some sun near the village's swimming pool, with a stunning mountain view. Life's good!
Wen Lambo? Well... now!!! :))) Gotta see it on the bright side, I'm one golden ticket closer! Freebitcoin is probably one of the oldest BTC faucets, and for sure the most reliable one. The chances of getting lucky in these giveaways is very very slim but... who knows when lady Luck knocks at the door? ;)
My wildlife photography: the little cormorant, Microcarbo niger. Cormorants in my home country are bigger, but they share the same behaviour: perching with open wings, a way for cormorants to speed up feather drying, after swimming and diving in search of food. It's a good way to identify a cormorant from a distance! Photo taken in Tangalle, Sri Lanka.
Sometimes you have those lucky moments... and in Splinterlands last season, lady luck came knocking at my door! True, no legendary or even epic cards; but with this insane amount of DEC, I can buy a ton of them! πππ
My wildlife photography: the Indian roller, Coracias benghalensis. This little guy appeared just at the end of the visit to Uda Wallawe national park, in Sri Lanka, and I'm so glad he did! Rollers are beautiful birds, with amazing colours, and it was the first time I've seen this particular species.
My wildlife photography: the white throated kingfisher, Halcyon smyrnensis. This was the first (and only) kingfisher species I saw when visiting Sri Lanka. To compensate for the lack of other species... they were all over the place! I was able to take a bunch of photos and photograph them from different spots. These guys have amazing colours, and didn't mind posing for the camera at all.
A new chapter begins! As of today, DEC won't be the reward in Splinterlands battles, being replaced with SPS, the governance token. DEC price as been soaring since the announcement, and we'll probably see them at the intended peg of 1000 DEC =1$ pretty soon! I've beeen waiting for it to by some more cards with the DEC I'm holding, so guess it will be shopping time soon... ;)
My wildlife photography: the tufted duck. Aythia fuligula. The male ducks have a very typical colour pattern, a black and white contrast, that together with the little tuft makes them easy to identify. But what I like most about this species is their eyes: they look almost as they're glowing!
Since Splinterland battles changes from DEC to SPS on the daily rewards, I still haven't had luck with the damn chests. But today, with 35 SPS and 2 packs, that changed! And another summoner and an epic were inside, I couldn't resist opening them.
My wildife photography: the malabar pied hornbill. This is one of the two hornbill species we can find in Sri Lanka. I LOVE hornbills! Their big size and strange beaks make them a stunning species to admire; and this tree was full of them!
Every now and then, I decide to try my luck in Rising Star game, and buy the 12 packs for 100k starbits. And this time... I'm glad I did! Two new epic cards and a buttload of fans and skill!
