Kitchen step Sparrow breakfast photo session. The shot, the unhelpful assistance

The Royal Mail by like: “We’ll deliver this parcel that needs your signature between 12 & 3pm”, & “We tried at 11:18am & you weren’t in so will try again at some point yet to be determined tomorrow”. #RoyalMail

Dear comedy night patron, just because you don’t like the act on stage don’t have a go at me as you leave. You know my role here is to point you to a seat, the toilet & exit. I don’t control what happens on stage. Thank you. Yours A venue steward

Predawn walk

Happy Ruination Day to all who celebrate: youtu.be/xp1xCJa-SJE?... youtu.be/FjwatDksOvQ?...

The pair seem to be taking turns incubating their eggs, so they are much less visible. But if you show patience... & feisty Coots. #eastlondonkingfishers #nature #wildlife #kingfisher #kingfishers #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #hackney #eastlondon #hackneymarshes

Two days later & the males are still fighting over the new nest. One was waiting inside for the other to sneak in. Then he chased him out & away. So happy to catch the action. #wildlife #kingfisher #kingfishers #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #hackney #eastlondon #hackneymarshes

The stages in a Donald Trump deal: 1. Lie about something being a problem 2. Do something to "fix" it, which causes an actual problem 3. Say you won't reverse what you've done 4. Reverse what you've done 5. Say "Art of the deal"

Who knew they are a throuple?

Some are calling Trump the modern day Canute. I say they’re just bad at spelling.

ll kicking off down on the Marshes! 2 males fighting over a nest site. It’s really close to an established nest, so I’m not sure if it’s not wanting neighbours or about needing a new nest or? #kingfisher #kingfishers #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #hackney #hackneymarshes

Kingfisher zen moment. #kingfisher #kingfishers #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #hackney #eastlondon #hackneymarshes

My favourite shot from today’s visit to the Kingfisher pair on Hackney Marshes. The Male scoping the fishing opportunities. #eastlondonkingfishers #nature #wildlife #kingfisher #kingfishers #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #hackney #eastlondon #hackneymarshes

Just seen the Hackney Marshes Kingfisher pair mating. Here’s the male heading off to fish. #kingfishers #hackney #hackneymarshes #eastlondonkingfishers #nature #wildlife #eastlondon #kingfisherphotography #birdphotography #photooftheday #eastlondon #spring @londonwildlifetrust

Found a nesting Kingfisher pair in Hackney today. The male was feeding the female. She never left the nest site in over 2 hours.

Now’s the time. Don’t buy or use American goods or services. This isn’t a buy British campaign, it’s more buy from anyone else. #boycottUSA

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Don’t limit it to buy British, but shift it to don’t buy American.

Today’s partial eclipse didn’t disappoint. London 👇🏻

Hope all those suckered into paying to give their DNA away for the false hope of accurate ancestry information aren't feeling too duped. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I've never shot a pano before. It wasn’t preplanned, but added on at the end of my recent Lighthouse shoot. I don’t think much of the composition. I love how I have captured nebula in the MW, along with both the large & small Magellanic Clouds. The starlight trails across the sea are cool

Why the fuck are we getting “trending” videoed here now??

I went back & spent the whole night out shooting alone under the beautiful warm quiet star filled outback sky. As the moon was full & up all night I couldn’t get a shot of the Milky Way. So I took this 8 hour star trail timelapse. I was truly in my happy place.

Fun with Silos in rural upstate Victoria Australia

How come I never heard about this when I grew up in Weymouth & fought fascists there 40 years after this happened in 1938?

So after a long weekend of fun at @portfairyfolkfestival I got up after 2 hrs sleep to go stand in the dark. This is a quick initial edit of one of the shots I took at the Port Fairy Lighthouse between 2 & 5am. #astrophotography #lighthouse #milkyway

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Done!! Loved making this. The accompanying podcast was great. There’s even a hidden alien. #lego #milkyway #legomilkyway

In the supermarket the other day a lady wearing a burka sneezed as I passed. I said “bless you” in an involuntary polite way, like the good atheist I am. She replied in a broad cockney accent “Cheers mate!”. It was a lovely tiny moment of being a Londoner.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

The only superb owl I care about today:

My go to passive aggressive response to tail gaters is to wash my windshield. They get it as well. Especially fun if they're in an open convertible.

Ok @bsky.app what’s going on with not being able to post web links & images?

Love it when old friends get to shine. Emily Barker at Omeara tonight.

The completed Moai all face away from the sea on Rapa Nui. I suppose living on a tiny island hundreds of miles from the next might make people somewhat introspective. #astrophotography #easterisland #moai #polynesia #pacficocean

I know it’s petty but I more often than not block people if they post self obsessed whiny “Why is no one liking my posts?” stuff, or if they moan/boast about numbers of their followers. And don’t get me started on those who claim to be influencers. No one sensible cares! And neither should they.

Bear Grylls can fuck right off as well!

I’m editing my sailing trip photos after a wonderful week of music culminating in working with the glorious Candi Staton & Lyle Lovett as they performed together (surely a world first!). Both these pictures were from the same night. Taken on the Bark Europa as she was tied up alongside in Mangareva.

Some chump wants to rename Nashville’s airport after Trump. How about it’s renamed after Nashville’s real queen? www.change.org/p/rename-nas...

The way forward.

On this cold grey London winter morning I’m getting excited for my next trip. So happy to be back in Port Fairy again so soon & this time it’ll be summer there & full of gorgeous music. portfairyfolkfestival.com

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

Dear America, good luck. Please try to be sane & safe. Keep your heads down & watch out for each other. This too shall pass.
