Moorhen chose in the lake I took this a couple of weeks back and desaturated it as I thought it worked better that way :) #BirdOfTheDay #ClassicMono #LondonBirds #Wetlands #Birds

As a migrant living in London, I can assure you that I leave the swans well enough alone because damn 😳

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Great shots! I set up a hummingbird feeder and fountain station on my back deck and I try to get some pics when I can. This little guy was having a blast in the fountain on a hot day. #photography #hummingbirds #BirdOfTheDay #PNW

Of course there will be no day of mourning, no flags at half mast. But we will be told that the killer was some trans woman who was taking Tylenol whilst watching Jimmy Kimmel

Seems like a pretty good attack line to me

A statement from Tylenol

My final #urbangeology walk for this year will take place on 4 October. Reservations and more information on #LondonWalks website at www.walks.com/our-walks/th.... Hope to see you there, this is my favourite walk!

A final micrograph for today showing mycelium of an Epibryon sp. fungus inside liverwort cells. Most cells are infected but some in the lower part of the photo are healthy, as evidenced by the absence of hyphae and the presence of oil bodies.

Love this! An asteroid named after an archaeologist!!! Yesssssssss!!!! This is seriously the coolest news I’ve heard in a while. Congratulations!!! @mariannedenton.bsky.social think you’ll like this too :) 🏺#AncientBlueSky

Ok, Mr I avoided military service because of bone spurs. Why didn’t you just ‘tough it out’?

Acrowbatics on a TV aerial. This bird entertained me a lot last winter and spring. Missing it 🥺 For Alan’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #NotABranch #BirdPhotography #Corvids #Birds #LondonBirds

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

A lot of the anger I’ve seen today about the possibility of abolishing indefinite leave to remain has been focused on EU citizens with settled status but I hope that energy remains even if it’s us non-EU immigrants who are still being targeted.

Why I love London - a thread We started the day walking from Leicester tube down to Trafalgar Square for the Japan Matsuri. On our way, in the distance we hear some bagpipes. As you do… The festival was great, lots of people, stands, and entertainment 1/

I’m guessing they made this decision based on what ChatGPT told them…

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Spot the crabby! Waikiki Beach, O’ahu I think this is Ocypoda pallidula, the pallid 👻🦀 In any case, a master of camouflage!

Don’t fall for the #ColossalBio PR #DisInformation, they’re making GMO pigeons not dodos #ExtinctionIsForEver 🐓≠🦤 🧪

“Rich Grenyer, a biologist at the University of Oxford, said de-extinction is a “dangerous” distraction and that gene-edited animals are “at best a sort of simulation, rather like those unnerving animated AI portraits of dead relatives some… people create”.” www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Earthquake off Kamchatka. No tsunami threat in the Pacific luckily. 7.8

getting a strip magnet and some blutack and sticking it on the back of a pad of postit notes with a pen next to it is a game changer for fridge notes.

Yuck. I’m sticking with magnets, photos, kids’ drawings and scraps of paper on my fridge door

Attention @goodlawproject.bsky.social would you be interested in representing our beloved @ledbydonkeys.org if you’re not already? Or in making folks aware of their current plight? Clearly, their arrest was/is not as widely known as it should have been. And the silence since is truly alarming.

Peaceful protest against fascist paedophiles and genocide is bad. Violent racist protests against asylum seekers (and anyone not white, hetero, cis, male and Christian) is fine because they have ‘legitimate concerns’. Got it #MakeItMakeSense

A drawing from this evening. This one came together very late in the process.

I love the sea. I grew up next to it, practically lived in it. But this, this is terrifying. My feet tingled, my chest tightened… So don’t read this just before going to sleep. Like I did. 😳🥺

Welcome to the United Kingdom! 🇬🇧 Never before in U.S. History has a President been acknowledged by another country in this unique way! 🇺🇸 At Windsor Castle, in London & all across the land, people are United! ✊ They all want to see the #EPSTEIN_PedoFiles, ASAP! 👀

Everyone one of us need to ring them and tell them what we think. And then close our accounts.

Exciting news from #Stanwell_Moor a sighting of #Brown_Hairstreak by Dave Miller today. However if a full length 3rd runway at #heathrow_airport is built the site will be lost!!! @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social @lnhs.bsky.social

We have already started working on the next issue! Thanks so much for your compliments and for being a member for so long! Love it!

Oh lads. I don't know what's going on with the universe & me atm but I've had another eventful evening. So I got off the the train & noticed an elderly couple struggling with their suitcases. The gentleman in particular was very frail & even though he had a wheelie case his frailness ...

Sadiq is right, "for our leaders silence is no longer enough. The time has come to stand up and say: this is not who we are"... But we're not holding our breath! And meanwhile we will say it ourselves - LOUD & CLEAR TODAY!

Happy International Microorganism Day! 🎉 Today, we are celebrating the tiny powerhouses that have a massive impact on our world. From the bacteria in our gut to the fungi that give us antibiotics, these incredible organisms are essential to life. Let's make some noise for the microscopic!

Historians , were there as many political appeasers and journalistic supporters of fascism in Britain in the late 1930s?

Right, so hotel sorted. So what to do? Anything not to miss? We’ve got pancakes and a cat museum on the list so far :))) I think we will be walking, taking photos, and leaving museums for the next, longer trip. So any places to see? Good neighbourhoods to explore?
