6 hours to get into A&E.So pleased two ambulance lasses get their break now. Trying to read stuff on here to keep my mind active right now

Oh joy, I'm in the queue for A&E in an ambulance😢

Aww the Grackle has gone😢

😆

That road runner video is ai, stop sharing it, the movements are floaty and it goes way too fast at the end. Plus road runners run with their heads down not up. Stop letting ai slop poison the internet.

Donegal has a poor history of American passerines, so it was a bit of a surprise to hear of a Swainson's Thrush last month. Nobody could then have predicted what would be discovered in the following week, with Grey-cheeked Thrush, Blackpoll Warbler and 4 or 5 Red-eyed Vireos. #donegalbirding

Nazi trash

FFS😡

Oh gods here we go, the areas started to explode🤬

And this is why everyone needs to stop trusting Grok. And leave X.

Aaaaarrrrgh. Up there with the genuine conversation at Carsington Water (a reservoir in Derbyshire UK) when someone asked when the tide would be coming in...

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

"oooo i'd draw that but i can't draw" brother get this through your head NOBODY can draw we are literally ALL BULLSHITTING

You know what, if you give people hope and something to vote for they will show up.

Oh no, distressing images of a plane crash in the US on here. Just be warned. I hate seeing things like that as you know it's tragic deaths involved😢

Worth remembering... For every Anthony Williams there's a Samir Zitouni. Massive respect to you Sir, and very best wishes for a full recovery 🫰 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nice one Derby 🐏⚽

This is ridiculous. They are a laughing stock.

I'm super stressed right now so here's a recent favourite landscape from a few months ago again - Dunvegan in Alberta, Canada. This aerial embroidery took forever but was worth it 💚 the higher up perspective is more intricate and slower to sew I've found, more fiddly! #art

Come on New York, make sure you stand up and be counted.

That Grackle has to stay to the weekend please🙏 I just hope someone is still updating the info that it is still there... And there are no cats...

You don't really get to this point without years of race-baiting, fearmongering over George Soros, and willingly expanding the GOP's big tent to cover Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Proud Boys, etc. Kind of hard to slam the brakes now.

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

Daily bunny no.3128 has been invited to a rampage

Oh, it was #GodzillaDay yesterday, apparently.

Moment of Zen, Monterey Bay.

Ben Shapiro was just ratioed by Nick Fuentes on X after Shapiro called out Tucker Carlson and Fuentes for their antisemitism. The neo nazi right is fully taking over the republican party.

Good morning. I don't know who did this, but I love you.

Did a little doomposting so here's a PELICAN TRIPLE DIVE(!) to make up for it 🪶

Finally managed to get a fridge freezer to fit and work where we need it to. Goodness you miss the luxury of one when it's not there! Looking forward to milk again😂

I always wonder what folk would make of an Evening Grosbeak over here in the UK as regards vagrancy.

Thank gods they didn't release the name of the chap that got accidentally swept up in the train incident. The amount of crap being talked on social media still would get an innocent man killed. It's also clear that a lot of people do not understand mental health conditions.

How are we IDing the Grackle down to exact subspecies? Given they are not easy to even separate from each other? #UKbirding #Birds

This man is clearly deranged

I like this. What if the Plague doctor mask (not medieval) was based on specific birds :) By Shayna Daniel, AKA Squid Von Bob squidvonbob.tumblr.com/post/1879026...

Desperately seeking three French hens and a partridge in a pear tree to join these two Oriental Turtle Doves. Yes, it was back to the drawing board overnight and a retrospective ID on one of the 'turtle' doves we'd already retrospectively identified yesterday. A thread...

LBJs (Little Brown Jobs) - a joy to watch but not always easy to differentiate. No expert & did this for myself. There more LBJs species not illustrated here. #BirdsSeenIn2025 #Ipoh #Perak #Malaysia @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social #birds #nature #wildlife

The BOURC’s ship assisted policy is arbitrary and inconsistently followed. If you’re wanting to go and see it for a strict BOU British list, don’t bother. If you’re wanting to see a very smart-looking wild bird, go for it!

Ooo

Highlights of the last few days of the season were Little Bunting, Firecrest, Barred Warbler and Long-eared Owl, but the best of the week waited until a day after the last census of the year, a Black-faced Bunting at Shirva! Read more at www.fairislebirdobs.co.uk/latest_sight... 📸 A Penn

Neotropical warbler season is over but I was charmed by the frenetic bathing of this Swamp Sparrow today, a less than annual visitor to my yard

Good game Derby ⚽🐏

Giving this one another run, since it's rainbow bee-eater season again. We only see them here during the warmer months. This one performed an unorthodox landing 😄

The continued presence of oil production and transport along the California coast and the associated risk of a major spill is the principal factor preventing delisting of the southern sea otter under the endangered species act. 🦦

I am sure this is going to be brilliant!!

Since today is halloween. What're the spookiest storms you've seen or chased? Personally, mine is this large nighttime supercell that occurded near Hollister, Oklahoma that produced around 4 different tornadoes, including a wedge tornado that was over a mile wide. #okwx
