A vital, hardworking home win, full of the type of endeavour that has been notably absent in recent weeks. Ojinnaka and Freeman added some much-needed bite in midfield, John Marquis put in a great shift up front, and Sam Stubbs' goal capped one of his best performances in blue and amber 👏 #Salop 💙🧡

Out on a deserted Shawbury Heath for the first time in 2026 this afternoon... a very respectable 28 bird species recorded, with 8 finches (including 2 brambling, and loads of Siskin), a couple of swallows, and many chiffchaff now in residence! #ShawburyHeath #Shropshire #ShropshireBirding ⛅

Hey @jannerbirder.bsky.social! Two swallows spotted on overhead wires at Brynore, near Dudleston Heath this lunchtime - is it just me, or is this very early? #ShropshireBirding

Word of the Day: llygaid Ebrill geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html.... This literally means ‘the eyes of April’ and is one of a number of Welsh terms for the lesser celandine or pilewort.

For the last #gritsaltbinmonday of the season - Comley. Witnessed at the road junction as I made my way from Caer Caradoc to The Lawley

We're outside Baschurch telephone exchange for the last Grit Salt Bin Monday of the season 🥲 Thanks for your likes, reposts, comments and submissions - see you in October! 👋 #GritSaltBinMonday 🧂❄️⚠️ #Baschurch #Shropshire 💛☎️

We need counters for three long-standing BBS squares. Just two early morning visits between April and June, plus a recce. It's a very rewarding survey. You need to be able to identify, by sight and by sound, the birds likely to be encountered. More info: [email protected] #ShropshireBirds

The Daily Record: can't say I really enjoyed it when they started going on about their sex being on fire and wotnot (although a lot of people did, so good for them 👍) but this LP rocks in a very satisfying southern-fried way and makes me wish I owned a Les Paul. #KingsOfLeon #AhaShakeHeartbreak 🪣

🎶 Slow Down! Baby, now you're gritting way too fast. You've got to gimme a little rock salt, gimme a little rock salt, Ow! If you want this bin to last 🎶 #GritSaltBinMonday 🧂❄️⚠️ #RuytonXITowns #Shropshire 💛🚫

Advance notice: help needed to record #Shropshire rookeries *between 11 and 19 April* If you know of a rookery in Shropshire please check the project website to see if an updated count or status is needed. ➡️ www.lanius.org.uk/rookeries/ #ShropshireBirds

Lots of potential for this open-to-all survey in #Shropshire You don't need to be a bird expert, and you can take part using a simple app that is about to launch (survey starts in April). #ShropshireBirds

A chastening afternoon at the Meadow. A distant second best in every aspect of the game and, after our recent run, some players clearly think we're safe and have mentally checked-out. Dismal. #Salop 🔵🟠

Norfside sunset, just now: #Shrewsbury #Shropshire 🌄

I hadn't given the 3Ds' 1993 magnum opus a listen in a long while but was inspired to do so again after reading @garethshute.bsky.social excellent feature about this essential album. Your NZ Indie collection isn't complete without it! #3DS #TheVenusTrail ☄️ au.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

It's that time of year again @jannerbirder.bsky.social: the Alexanders is in bloom! #Shropshire 💚💛

A stunning spring afternoon on the Cliffe and a respectable 22 bird species recorded, including my first Chiffchaff of the year (at least four of them), a garrulous Raven and a singing Skylark on the central heath #ShropshireBirding ☀️

Miss Elizabeth: a picture of serenity in the early morning sunshine today 🌄 #CatsOfBluesky 😻

A recent post by @deebeebee.bsky.social inspired me to pull this C-86 era NZ Indie curio from the archive tonight. If you're a Bats or Sneaky Feelings fan there's much to like here, while the final track even foreshadows '90s Auckland outfit Chainsaw Masochist. #ThreeLeaningMen #SongsInTheKeyOfFun

🎶 Well I'm a-standin' on the corner in Wellington, Shropshire, With such a fine sight to see... 🎶 It's a beehive grit bin at the junction of Waterloo Road and Constitution Hill: #GritSaltBinMonday 🧂❄️⚠️ #Wellington #Shropshire 💛🐝

#GritSaltBinMonday Thrupp. @marcpetty.bsky.social ?

It might have been different had we been able to convert one of a trio of near misses in the first half but, in the end, we were largely second best for most of the afternoon to a very well-drilled opponent. Good to see SC back at the Meadow 👏 #Salop 🔵🟠

Springtime in Morris Close: #Shrewsbury 🐝

🎶 Then he's marched on down the Cartway, "Who's house is this so fine?" It's up spoke proud Bishop Percy, "I tell you this grit bin is mine!" 🎶 #GritSaltBinMonday 🧂❄️⚠️ #Bridgnorth #Shropshire 💛🏚️

🎶 I turned around and you were standing there. More than a little yellow. More than a little dirty. So beautiful I had to stare. Then I knew you had the power to change me 🎶 Kingspan Titan 400 + Suzuki Jimny = 😍 #GritSaltBinMonday 🧂❄️⚠️ #MuchWenlock #Shropshire 💛🚘

And so our glorious winning streak ends. The players looked jaded after successive Saturday-Tuesday games, and we struggled to impose ourselves against a resolute opponent (apart from Iwan Morgan, of course, who was 🔥🔥🔥). Still, a great run and we are in a very different place now 👊 #Salop 🔵🟠

If you enjoy some early spring flowers, I definitely recommend a trip to St Mary's Broughton, which is currently awash with snowdrops, daffodils and crocus 🤩 #Yorton #Shropshire 🌷

Daffodils, two silver birch, and the tower of the parish church! #Hadnall #Shropshire 💛

WWWWW 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Salop 💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡

Spring might not yet have sprung but it was definitely thinking about it in the Dingle this lunchtime: #Shrewsbury #Shropshire 🌤️🌡️

🎶 And like a bin next to troubled water, I will lay grit down 🎶 #GritSaltBinMonday 🧂❄️⚠️ #Ironbridge #Shropshire 💛🌉

#GritSaltBinMonday & #FireHydrantFriday & #FingerPostFriday

🎶 Oh, oh I'm trapped, Like a bin between two posts, I can't get out, see I'm trapped, Can't you see I'm underused, I can't get out! 🎶 #GritSaltBinMonday 🧂❄️⚠️ #Ironbridge #Shropshire 💛🏫

Happy #ShropshireDay to all who observe 💚🥳

Shrews are stying up, Shrews are stying up ole, ole... Shrewsbury Town 1 Notts County 0 - What a night! #Salop #STFC

💥 SUPER SALOP! 💥 A sensational Valentine's Day display at the Meadow, and easily the stand-out performance of the season so far. Strong in the tackle, dangerous on the break, and all delivered with bags and bags of energy. Where has this team been all season? More of the same please! #Salop 💙🧡

Tune(s) 👇 #UB40 #UB44

The Daily Record: recorded on this day in 1963 - the sound of sheer joy bottled, in 32 breathless minutes. Worthy of every superlative you could throw at it. Absolutely MAGNIFICENT 🔥🔥🔥 #TheBeatles #PleasePleaseMe 🎙️

A lovely surprise to see blue skies and sunshine over the 'shire this afternoon, so I celebrated with a cheeky little walk along the shoreline at Colemere: #Shropshire 🌥️💦

🎶 The Queen Bee, baby! Pray that you may be left on your own, uh-huh. Grit she'll give you, Gonna outlive you, But the Queen Bee's never gonna be alone, uh-huh! 🎶 #GritSaltBinMonday 🧂❄️⚠️ #QueensHead #Shropshire 💛🐝
