#BirdOfTheDay is this Roseate spoonbill saying “Get off my tree trunk” to the vulture. What could be more of a #powerpose for today’s theme! Maybe the smug look back after… #birds #birding

I think I have a recent #ruffledFeathers image for #birdOfTheDay #birds question is was this Bluetot embarrassed enough to dive out of shot?

Today for #birdsInTheirElement #birdoftheday theme I’ve picked a #Dunnock from my dog walk this morning

#birdoftheday is #WaterDroplets - a Limkin hunting in the shallows

#BirdOfTheDay is #oddcouples and honestly nothing I have is odder than this #heron and #stork. I can’t decide if the heron is selling dodgy watches or should be on a register somewhere… #birds #birding

#posted for #BirdOfTheDay – has to be this #Osprey #bird #birding #lakeApopka

#birds&berries today for #birdiftheday. First a winter Robin and second an Orange-crowned warbler (and possibly a seed-pod but I’m going for it)

#birdOfTheDay has a #reflections theme so I give you a Pied-billed grebe and a Trcolored Heron. Both making me wish to be somewhere with nicer weather. Still water... #birds #birding

Not gulls in the water I can find in my collection so Alt theme it is! #shortLeggedBirds for today's #BirdOfTheDay #alt-theme #bird #birding. Out this morning with the dog so hedgerow birds shots on the lane – Common #Chaffinch, a #robin taking off, and a #Dunnock on the trunk of a fallen tree

Good Morning Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GullsInWater, any Gull in Water, the Alt theme is #ShortLeggedBirds. I've chosen Black-headed Gulls, Great Black-backed Gulls & Herring Gulls for #GullsInWater and a Greenfinch for #ShortLeggedBirds. #birds #EastCoastKin @rspb.bsky.social #Canon

#BirdOfTheDay #Ducks Black-bellied Whistling Ducks

Second #BirdOfTheDay post for with different theme for this one #ducks and conveniently I was out in the garden trying to get some nice pictures of snowdrops (light and wind not helping) - but the ducks kept me company - and a #snowdrop seeing as that is what I went out for

Evolutionary Biology Genetics Biochemistry Microbiology Parasitology

For #birdoftheday today we have #SmallBirdSaturday - so one from home and one from away. A Northern #waterthrush and a Blue tit #birding #bird

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @alan678.bsky.social is #BrownIsBeautiful and I've picked this very pretty female Boat-tailed grackle

Going with today’s alternate theme for #BirdOfTheDay a Rock #dove high up on the Rock of Gibraltar #bird #birding

Today’s #tailup #BirdOfTheDay is this gray-headed swamphen which has a really characteristic behavior to flick up its tail to expose a patch of white feathers #bird #birding

#birdoftheday then is #singing and I’ve gone for a fairly extreme closeup of a #robin absolutely going for it #bird #birding

Bottoms up! I couldn’t resist taking a snap of these two yesterday at the #EdwinBForsytheNationalWildlifeRefuge . I think they’re perfect for the #BirdOfTheDay theme #TwoOfAKind. My best ID is that they are #mallards , but please correct me if I’m mistaken. #photography #nature

#TwoOfAKind for #BirdOfTheDay 🤔 Let’s have a pair of Eastern #bluebird arguing over a perch, a peaceful pair of Blue-winged #teal, a pair of (probably) Egyptian Goose #tattonPark, and because bsky doesn’t let me mix in a video… next post a couple of Limkin arguing over a mate

#BirdOfTheDay is looking for the #perfectPerch so two offerings, the first a #crow - lord of all it surveys. The second, a couple of goldfinches, where the on on the top clearly thinks the bottom one has *the* perfect perch…

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

for my #shortbeaks #birdoftheday #bird I give you a couple of Eurasian Robins #uk and because I'm still getting over coming home... a Myrtle #warbler and a Northern #waterthrush #Florida #us

#Raptors for todays #BirdOfTheDay brings us a a proud looking #osprey posing on a fence-post, a (probably) red-shouldered #hawk on a telegraph pole, the only one looking like it is not in a man made environment.. but actually is a on a falconry-photography day - an absolute #borb of a #kestrel pair

Sadly it appears that those attempts are in vain - www.theverge.com/news/861894/...

So we have #LongBeaks for today’s #BirdOfTheDay and just back from Florida I’ve gone for a pair at the extremes of colouring - a camo #Limpkin and a show off Roseate #spoonbill

Interesting #BirdOfTheDay theme today, #solitude - this image of a White Ibis was the first one that popped into my head #ibis #bird #birding

I don’t even know how they could more forcefully assert that they don’t care about human lives — but ESPECIALLY don’t care about the lives of the poor and minorities most affected by industrial pollution — than to rewrite the cost-benefit calculations to explicitly set the value of those lives to 0.

For my #BirdOfTheDay image on the theme of flight we have an #Osprey hovering as it hunts above a marsh #bird #birdsinflight

For #Nature themed #BirdOfTheDay I've picked this close-view of a Tricolored Heron hunting, deliberately shot through the reeds. #bird #heron

For the #MoodyFaces #BirdOfTheDay I've picked this #BlueTit who has a stare that says I'm definitely in the bad-books for *something*.

very disappointing. There is a code of conduct for Royal Society fellows - it's not a value judgement to say that Musk has contravened it! see relevant bits of code and the Royal Society stated values below.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FeathersAndForm so I've picked a Tricolored Heron coming in to land, in almost a dancer's form/pose, showing off the wing feathers - from Florida, near Shingle Creek, 28th Dec 2025

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #ShortBeaks so we have 1) Pied-billed Grebe 2) Gray-headed Swamphen 3) Orange-crowned Warbler - getting that small beak around a big food item!

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay themes are #FoodFinds and #Preening - So I give you a Tricolored heron tossing a fish to reposition it to swallow and a Roseate Spoonbill preening to get ready for the day

A #BlackAndWhite #BirdOfTheDay - A Wood Stork coming in to land on a bright late morning at #OrlandoWetlands

One from the archives do #snowy #BirdOfTheDay old Canon 1Ds mk1 showing it’s class

Today for #BirdOfTheDay we have #BirdInMotion - An Osprey hunting over the marshes north of Lake Apopka on New Years Day

Lake Apopka Wildlife drive is exactly as good as it's reputation - great time yesterday #lakeapopka #birding - for more adobe.ly/3LsNGJp

A nice walk yesterday on holiday, and some nice birds spotted - a few here, a Tricolored Heron, hunting and an American White Ibis... resting.

So, LLMs get a lot of hate and they *absolutely* have flaws - I used Gemini recently to help with my daughter's work capability assessment (she has multiple disabilities). Key take home, applying for benefits is complex and hard and LLM's could make it dramatically fairer and more accessible. 1/n

From a professional comms perspective, I'd say a good start for Labour combatting far right rhetoric would be to stop repeating it, saying they "understand it" or including its stock tropes in official documents pretty much any time they talk about migration. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Even worse is the framing of Fuentes as another manosphere influencer. He’s a neo-Nazi Holocaust denier. That’s what his followers like. No need for “lost boys” excuses in this case

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Turns out the anti cancers should be worrying about voting for brexit, not valuable health interventions

Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today: www.thenewworld.co.uk/peter-kellne...

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

Yet the tone of her announcements today will move forward his agenda.
