For #BirdoftheDay alt theme #Grass: a happy crow bouncing along the lawns of my local park, a greylag gosling that was very interest in me, and pink-footed geese hiding in the grasses of Marshside, Southport, UK. #birds #photography

#BBCNews this is how you write about Trump. There is no balance to be had with this threat to civilisation. @iandunt.bsky.social is brilliant once more. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-battle...

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdButt, so here's a #bunchofbirdbums: a mute swan, a male blackbird, a coot, and a male mallard. #birds #photography

Someone should read this into the congressional record.

For #BirdOfTheDay alt #NaturalPerch guillemots perch on rocks on the Farne Islands in 2024, and a Marabou stork perched on top of a tree in downtown Nairobi in 2025 (taken with my phone from a moving bus). #birds #photography

For #BirdOfTheDay #ManMadePerch three cormorants that came and sat on the mill chimney out the back of our house one misty September morning. And a pigeon from the other day that reminded me of those in Wallace and Gromit films. #birds #photography

And to cover both of today's #BirdOfTheDay themes, #BlackHeads and #Grey here's a lovely willow tit hiding in the undergrowth. #birds #photography

For #BirdOfTheDay alt #Grey: a female ostrich and and a dunnock. #birs #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme #BlackHeads allows me to share these I took in my local park the other day when the black-headed gulls were having a feeding frenzy on small fish in the pond. #birds #photograpjy

A recurring theme w/ MAGA/radical right is *endlessly* accusing their enemies (falsely) of doing why they are *actually* doing It’s Orban who spent fortune interfering in politics outside Hungary Including paying Reform’s Matt Goodwin €10k a month democracyforsale.substack.com/p/orbans-brits

Came across this guy on my walk this morning some people seem to have become blasé about seeing deer in urban woodlands, but not me. We watched each other for a few minutes and I left the encounter gloriously lifted. #nature #deer #photography #urbanwildlife

#BBCNews seem incapable of calling this what it is: a US President threatening to commit genocide. They're still discussing it as if this is somehow just normal.

So alt #BirdOfTheDay as #RareEncounters birds you have captured least in your camera roll. Since taking up bird photography during lockdown I have been trying to capture a reed warbler which are common in Wigan Flashes, my local post-industrial nature reserve. This is the cosest I have got yet!

So todays #birdoftheday theme is #warblers. So, I went out this morning in the hope of capturing some. Here's are my efforts: on decent shot of a chiffchaff, and a very blurred blackcap. Warblers are difficult (see my alt #BirdOfTheDay for more of my warbler failures)! #birds #photgraphy

#Spring #butterfly A common brimstone this this morning. #photography

Why do our second-tier cities underperform? Why do we have fewer trams in the UK? I try my best to give an answer to these two interconnected questions. chriscurtismk.substack.com/p/to-grow-th...

My #BestOfTheMonth for #BirdOfTheDay is another shot of the grey wagtail I posted for the alt theme #yellow

“Thatcher’s ‘fundamental truth’ – that the state has no source of money other than the money people earn themselves – is actually a fundamental error. And the sooner that is seen to be true, the better.”

For the alternative #birdoftheday theme #gardenfeeder, Here's a few visitors to my feeders: goldfinch, great spotted woodepecker, juvenile blue tit and long-tailed tit.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #RuffledFeathers here's a couple of angry swans. #photography #birds

As a former post-grad student at Essex and someone who worked in four different universities, Adam wright's piece sadddens but doesn't surprise me. I don't think it is just the plate glass universities that have lost their way or their vision.

#BirdOfTheDay alternative is #Yellow so here's a grey wagtail I managed to catch in flight earlier this week. #PhotographersOfBlueSky #nature

In case you missed it, we published an update on the Manchester school library story @indexoncensorship.org Including plenty of completely outrageous details. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/grea...

@alan678.bsky.social sky.social & @robcrank68.bsky.social have set #Blue as today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, so here's a happy nuthatch.

After this morning's rain. #Photography #Nature

The French left learned the hard way 10 years before the rest of the European left that chasing the far-right is how you destroy your electoral base while gaining literally no other voting block See Manuel Valls as another example But for some reason, the memo has failed to cross the Channel

Forgot the alternative #BirdOfTheDay #Eating. Here's a grey heron and a rather shocked fish. Taken in Northumbria a couple of years ago. #BirdsOfBluesky #PhotographersOfBluesky

Essential reading for all MPs.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #WingsOpenNotFlying so here's a Canada goose standing tall. #BirdsofBluesky #photography

#thingswithfaces #pareidolia

My #BirdOfTheDay #Speckled contribution is this fieldfare. #BirdsofBlueSky

So it turns out the hero voters are out of touch with their own concerns

This chaffinch is my contribution to #BirdOfTheDay #tricolour #allyearround #BirdsofBluesky

I challenged Labour MP Mike Tapp on the government's harmful proposed immigration reforms. In response he tried to tell me what my *own* constituents think about immigration 🤔 Sooooo, I dug up the receipts on what the people of Bristol Central actually think 🧾👀
