Here is another angle and frame of the bittersweet nightshade plant I photographed at Golden Ponds Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. #Stunday #EastCoastKin #photography #photograph #photographs #photo #photos #fall #foliage #fallfoliage #autumn #fallishere #fallorado

A male Little Owl standing on a post and taking a shower. There had been a long period of drought and as soon as the rain started, the owl knew what to do. It was a midsummer night just before dawn - the first Blackbird began the dawn chorus. #BirdOfTheDay #StandingOnThings #owls

A Curlew tossing up a crab, straight down for lunch! Curlews produce my favourite bird song, amazing birds! #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography

The most recent report from the Rare Breeding Birds Panel celebrates the return of two long-absent breeding species and record totals for others, though some birds continue to decline:

Happy Friday! We made it through the week! The star of this morning was the sky right before the sun broke when it had a tremendous range of warm striations. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

A great horned owl at dusk in the parking lot of Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. At first I thought this owl was injured, but it caught a rodent. I was about 10-feet away. #BirdoftheDay #closeups #EastCoastKin #bird #birds #owl #owls #birdphotography #photograph #photographs #photo

"I find it next to a woodland path – the remains of a dead tree forming a mossy arch. It’s giving off a strong, mushroomy smell – and it’s absolutely covered in fungi." Read @rodshelf.bsky.social's blog on glorious Grass Wood! 🍄 ywt.org.uk/blog/rod-jones/autumn-treasures-searching-fungi-grass-wood

White-tailed Eagle, Scotland last month.

2/2 At any time during the winter months, fox hounds or basset hounds, (after hares) are very active in this area. The dogs are often completely out of control and well ahead of the riders. The hunt cross the land & close lanes with impunity. The #fascists still have it @rsmythfreelance.bsky.social

1/2 Hounds in the garden just now, on the trail of some poor fox. This is still the reality of "trail hunting" in North Dorset in 2025. I put so much effort into making this place a sanctuary for wildlife. @angelaeagle1.bsky.social @parliamentarygoose.bsky.social

Another example of the thoughtless, feckless and unaccountable actions of the UK gamebird shooting industry, who yet again do what they like, when they like and to hell with the consequences, because there aren’t any. raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/11/03/s...

UPDATE ON THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON HUNTING

Lapwing eggs only rarely taken by badgers, new data shows Badgers are often blamed when wader nests fail on British farmland, but new evidence suggests their role may be far smaller than assumed and is largely driven by prolonged cold weather. www.rarebirdalert.co.uk/v2/Content/B...

A new proposal from a group of peers could disarm the most damaging aspect of the Planning and Infrastructure Bill and reduce the risks that it currently poses to the UK's wildlife:
