#BirdOfTheDay theme is #Raptor captures. Here's a golden #eagle soaring in the rain. I took this shot in the Spanish Pyrenees. #birdphotography

Some Tories, after 14 years in power… …are saying nothing now works in the UK. So they’re joining Reform, so they can complain about the Tory record - and you can vote them right back in, in a few years’ time, under new anti-Tory branding. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Birding highlight of the weekend was watching this flock twite going about their business. #birds #BirdingUK/IRE #RareBirdsUK #Birdphotography #BirdingScotland

##BirdOfTheDay #Foodfinds bearded vultures in the Spanish Pyrenees

"Hey, Trump! Greenland is not a child on Epstein Island who you can take whenever you want." ##Greenland 🇬🇱

Had an afternoon stroll and came across a flock of fieldfare that for once didn't fly off as soon as I got within 100 yards. #birdphotography #birds #BirdingUK

Completely inept. The sooner Amorim sods off back to Portugal the better. Team plays well with 4 at back so he changes it back to his useless system that hasn't worked from day one. Not a fan of continually changing managers but enough is enough.

😍 Ending 2025 with three wins in a row! ⌚️ FT | 🔴 0-2 🔵

Every horror we're seeing in Trump's America will take root in the UK if Farage becomes PM. From racist oppression to blatant corruption to anti-vaxxing to Christian nationalism to support for Russia to hostility towards on Europe ... It will all be used by Farage to divide and rule us. #FarageOut

Nothing more to add.

Cracking days birding at Flamborough today. Dusky warbler and this showy firecrest were the highlights. #birds #UKBirding #RareBirdsUK #YorkshireBirding

One down. Now let's get rid of the rest.

Some 90s hip hop for me tonight. The Pharcyde half an hour away has to be done. #hiphop #thepharcyde

So Gary Neville is apparently a traitor despite employing 600 Mancunians, paying all his taxes and opening his hotel to front line workers during COVID lockdowns. Sounds like much more of a patriot than those who criticising him who just spend their time talking the UK down.

Wood warbler #BirdOfTheDay #singing #ukbirds

Spent a couple of hours strolling round a very breezy Spurn this morning. A skulking Yellow-browed warbler and a male blackcap gorging on haws were the highlights. #birds #ukbirding #spurn

Reform lied to get elected to Kent County Council. They promised tax cuts in their election material. The only tax councils have any real say over is council tax. Refore are now saying they will increase council tax in Kent. Failure to deliver on what they promised after just 5 months.

Nothing says you oppose incitement to violence like using your conference to platform someone who urged people to set fire to hotels full of migrants.

Nigel Farage Is a Racist The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

"We cannot claim to have moved on from the venal political culture that brought us the VIP Lane until the ministers involved face consequences too.” goodlaw.social/ph6f

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

Spent some time yhis morning watching the turtles in Argostoli bay. Stunning wildlife spectacle. #turtles #wildlifephotography #kefalonia #sealife #naturalworld

Reform UK was created to make Brexit happen. Nigel Farage spent 27yrs promising Brexit would make British people richer. Now both Nigel Farage & Reform Party officials say Brexit, their main policy, is making Brits poorer. ANYONE WHO STILL BACKS REFORM IS A TRAITOR TO THE UK!

Looking right at you from 1480, Saint Jerome, in his spiritual study filled w wonderful material things, By Domenico Ghirlandaio, whose day was today.

Down to Suffolk this morning to see the Zitting Cisticola at Walberswick. Distant flight views only so no photos. This one was taken in Spain by @paulcoombes844.bsky.social My #400th species in the UK #birds #birdingUK ##rarebirds

New macro lens arrived today. Could be fun when birding is quiet. #macro #macrophotography #insects #bees #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

Too hot to do much today so sat in the garden witha cold beer or two and had a go at macro. Not got the right lenses but not too bad for a first try. #macro #insectphotography

Andy Burnham has called on Labour MPs to vote down government’s welfare cuts – despite Keir Starmer’s attempts to buy off his backbench rebels. The Manchester mayor said the prime minister had only performed “half a U-turn”, which did not go far enough www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/andy-b...

Reed warblers feeding a cuckoo chick totally oblivious to the fact that it's now bigger than they are. #birds #birdphotography

Never ceases to amaze me that the reed warblers don't realise its a cuckoo not a baby reed warbler. #birds #birdphotography
