Flying Scotsman through the village station this evening

shame the diesel was leading tonight #FlyingScotsman

#locomotivebreath when the Flying Scotsman goes through the local train station it makes for a bit more excitement than the usual commute

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

it was a lot of fun putting these together - would recommend commissioning Andy without hesitation

@worcswt.bsky.social most of these are from samples Russell collected from Upton Warren (in part to justify days spent birdwatching there)

It is clearly the case that asylum protests were smaller this weekend than the small over-hyped protests on August 8th, and smaller than in the second half of July. No broadcast outlet has accurately conveyed that + asked why: they have explicitly stated and inferred growing protests

Yesterday I discovered that ChatGPT's PhD-level expertise didn't extend to bird anatomy. This morning I thought, perhaps I was being too hard on the half-trillion-dollar company. Birds are a little weird, anatomically speaking. Let's try something more familiar. A mammal. Behold.

“Fierce”, my 2026 calendar is available to pre-order now.* Find it here: dragonsofwales.etsy.com/listing/1050... *Due to the current uncertainty regarding imports to the US, this pre-order is not currently available to US customers. I am truly sorry, and hope this can be resolved soon.
