Just wanted to say a big thankyou to those who sponsored me recently after signing up on Thurs for #Mater #DickieDip25 in Skerries. WHAT a wonderful, exhilarating, superbly organised event. I've replied/thanked each sponsor via the official site. YOU still can 😉 eventmaster.ie/fundraising/...

Did you know that the two Light-bellied Brent Goose populations – from Canada and Svalbard – largely winter on Strangford Lough and Lindisfarne respectively, while the birds wintering elsewhere in Britain come from the Russian Dark-bellied population? 📷 Philip Croft / BTO

Glendalough is such a great place to visit, this pic is just brilliant. Love it ☘️

Even I thought this was one of mine!

There's still time for donations towards Mens Cancer fundraising Dip in the Nip tomorrow. #TheDickieDip2025

Adam Ant is now 71 years old. Do with that what you will.

For a mens cancer charity will you Run naked into the Irish ocean wearing just a Dicky Bow in November.?🫣😵😬 If you could, please donate/sponsor me, no amount too small.. (Unlike parts of me as I run back out of the sea... its cold enough in August for fecks sake!!) eventmaster.ie/fundraising/...

A beautiful day spent together in Carlingford, exactly what the doctor ordered. ❤️ @a-guy-on-here-too.bsky.social

3 Snipe, 90 Lapwing, 2 drake Pochard, 31 Shoveler, Stonechat pr, 2 Skylark and a Coal Tit along the West track (scarce here recently) best at #uptonwarren Moors Pool this morning. #WorcsBirds

Am I the only one who thinks there's been two Catharus Thrushes on Tory? #Greycheekedthrush #irishrarebirds

What an incredible evening spent listening to @seanronayne.bsky.social at The Lark in Balbriggan. He spoke so engagingly and movingly about all aspects of bird life & general wildlife in Ireland. Stark+quite depressing statistics were presented alongside ever present hope and optimism. GRMA Seán 🦉

We've just had the most magical few days ever...incredible. Beyond perfect.🌻 Love you so much @a-guy-on-here-too.bsky.social ❤️

Thomas Tuchel on Ollie Watkins' injury: "He is okay. It was a clear goal for him normally, but he crashed into the post. It was very painful, but as I understand it now, it is only painful. So, no harm done." #AVFC

Superb 3hrs that flew by in the blink of an eye with @seanronayne.bsky.social at #thelarkdublin tonight. An evening of laughter, tears, joy, awe & hope. Sean's passion is infectious, his delivery charming & his message a stark warning for the challenges ahead for Irelands birds. #Natureboy #birdsong

Hardly any Hen Harrier nesting attempts on English grouse moors for second year running. Hardly any surprise why. #RaptorPersecution #WildlifeCrime #Ornithology raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/10/02/h...

Doing design work for the next 24 hours. FETCH ME MY CRAYONS

De Kuip, ladies and gentlemen. A glorious place, filled with wonderful memories for those who were here in '82. Had the pleasure of travelling this morning with two members of the European Cup-winning squad - piece on that tomorrow. 🏆 #AVFC

Nigel Farage would definitely eat a swan. But only the right wing.

Proof that Donald Trump doesn’t know and has never met Peter Mandelson.

The Four Candles sketch is 2 months older than me, almost to the day

Superb 😂

MiniMoon here we go.. Absolutely stunning location with beautiful hotel. #BaiaSardinia #LaBisaccia

Day 2 shenanigans. #SiamThaiMalahide #WeddingWeekend

A temple bar wedding of all things! Amazing. You both look incredible. Delighted it was such a great day. A very happy healthy and long marriage to you both! X

#JobDone #WeddingWeekend #JustMarried

And so it began... Awake early this morning with my speech wreaking my head as it has all week..🙄🙄😁 Anyway, was a great start to the fun n shenanigans last night here in Dubs.

*gets Bobo on the case Seriously though mate I'm sure it'll be one amazing day. Looking forward to the pics x

Awww you two ❤️ … many moons ago on Twitter wishing you the very very best Xx @jdalton79.bsky.social

Let's face it and really call it out. It's men abusing women, because those men feel they are entitled to critique a woman's looks and feel women's worth is tied to their attractiveness to men. Please, fuck off. And to the good men out there, fix this, cos we can't and shouldn't have to.

This time next Friday we will be ABSOLUTELY 100% married.!! Can't wait.❤️💚💞

COME ON LEICESTER.!! #foxes

Did you know that young Fulmars spend their first four or five years at sea, before visiting the colonies at which they will then breed. Even then, they will not breed themselves until they are nine years of age and reach sexual maturity. #Seabirds 🪶 📷 Fulmar by Philip Croft/BTO

Unai Emery's message is to "stay calm" after Aston Villa's 1-0 defeat to Brentford. "Today, we competed, but it was not enough. We conceded some moments on the field that we need to avoid. Once the transfer window closes, we will clarify everything." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "We have to improve, we have to clarify some things in the transfer window. We have enough players but we need to clarify some circumstances with some players whether they are staying or not, and the possibility of adding to help us." #AVFC www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/footba...

What was alarming from my viewpoint was how quickly today you knew #AVFC would be in trouble. Be it the obvious awkwardness of a left footed CB receiving the ball tight on the right touchline, McGinn standing wide, Cash staying back or the wearied manner of how the players looked

There is no Epstein list… there is no Epstein list…

2 weeks today we'll have woken as a married couple, hopefully with clear heads as we prepare for the Day 2 fun.!! #PrayforNiceWeather

I've had worse lunchtime spots. Opposite Ardgillan between Skerries & Balbriggan. Tern calls, the sea breaking on the beach below.. wonderful relaxing sounds. Spit has numerous Gulls (+ Terns I'msure.) but too far sadly. Rockabill, home of the Roseate colony sitting pretty about 5km offshore.

Osprey (possibly female CJ7) caught huge fish in the Wareham Channel only to be forced to drop it by a fast-moving White-tailed Eagle (probably male G463). Seen from this morning's excellent @harbourbirds.bsky.social Osprey Cruise. @ukoi.bsky.social 2/2

Alex Moreno to undergo medical on Thursday ahead of move to Girona. 32yo to join La Liga club on 2 year contract after reducing salary terms to accommodate transfer. Agreement finalised with #AVFC this evening. No fee but 40% sell-on [email protected] www.nytimes.com/athletic/652...

Looks like a bank of Sea fog down Lambay way whilst I have lunch. #LunchtimeViews #NoCoDu

Jeeeeeezus... Less than 4 weeks til our wedding.!!! @jdalton79.bsky.social Oasis next week too. 😯😯🫶🌻💞

Nervy few hours at work hoping it hung around.. thankfully it did so raced home, got gear & raced 15 min drive down the road for the stunning Summer Plumage WWBT at Briadmeadow Estuary, Swords today. Rubbish record shots incl bonus pr of GWE flyovers. Lifer plus Irish firsts. #irishbirding

#Helsinki.. What a beautiful (plus biting winds) city you appear to be. Only a few hours this evening, can't wait to see where tomorrow takes us.

“What the fucking fuck now?!?” - me, looking at the latest fucking headline about Donald fucking Trump.

Visiting #Helsinki but only for a couple of days soon. Anyone have any tips/advice for best places to visit or explore/MUST see places.? Is it an easy City to navigate/get around.? What's cost of living like etc.? General advice would be welcome. Staying in the Katajanokka area btw. #VisitHelsinki

Virginia Hall was truly a quite remarkable, courageous, incredible woman. Excellent read detailing her quite astounding work behind enemy lines all the more remarkable because of her disabilty. #SOE #OSS #CIA
