Walrus on Orkney!! Must be the 1st UK one in about 4 yrs or so? #VagrantBlubber orcadian.co.uk/walrus-spott...

A stop-the-car moment to photograph this greeting to Nigel Farage on his rather unspectacular visit to Shetland today. Apologies to any frogs offended. 🐸

Scientists in Spain have developed a groundbreaking solar panel capable of generating electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.

Nothing could have prepared them for that.

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

I haven't posted anything about it for a while, but I'm still plodding on with writing and illustrating my Birds of Eyebrook Reservoir book with a view to hopefully publishing next year. Here are a few more illustrations from it. #art #WildlifeArt #birds #UKBirding

This is a Tailor Bird. It makes a nest by stitching leaves together. Original post

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... Trump family and Trump supporters make fortune on oil futures. Donald will have given them notice. Bloody crooks.

Eleonora's Falcon, Kent, May 2022 A true MEGA from the Mediterranean, this species has been regularly claimed during summer months in Britain (often in Essex!) in recent yrs but the birds were either misidentified or were all too brief. This changed in 2022 when this #bird made many people v happy!

From the archives for #SmallBirdSaturday hosted by Jane @javajanegallery.co.uk, a once-in-a-lifetime capture for me! 5 Swallows of 4 different types, 2 Barn, 1 Violet-Green, 1 Tree, and 1 Northern Rough-winged! #birds #swallows #photography #ECK #WestCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

3 days apart 🤔 But we can’t afford day care, Medicaid, Medicare… got it

All of this because we didn’t throw Trump in prison for trying to overthrow an election.

Great to pickup 2 White Storks this morning over Stanborough GPs. Drifted NE & I wonder if the same 2 that were seen along the N Norfolk coast this afternoon? Distant views by the time I had the camera out. #hertsbirds @norfolkbirds.bsky.social

Epstein clients Pam Bondi arrested: 0

If you didn’t see it coming, you weren’t paying attention. And he doesn’t have to do it formally to defy Congress, he can do it with actions that they can’t stop.

When Trump was hired by Putin & Netanyahu to destroy America from the inside by bankrupting us & isolating us from our allies & starting wars & stealing everything I bet they thought it would be more difficult than this.

“Not our war.” Starmer’s right about one thing: Farage would have us in it by teatime. The same man who cheered Brexit as sovereignty now wants British blood and British fuel queues for a conflict he’d never fight himself. He’s not a patriot. He’s a propagandist with a pint.

He makes a persuasive case.

Great day out with Brendon Fagan to East Anglia. 13 year ticks including 2 LS Woodpeckers, Iceland Gull, 2 Stone Curlew, 5 Crossbill, Marsh Tit, BT Diver, RT Diver and 2 Crane. #ukbirding 🪶

The lawless criminal, and his family, all voted by mail.

Eastern Crowned Warbler, Bempton, Oct 2016 Several UK records of this Eastern gem, mainly E coast, all since 2009. This 1 showed superbly, and I broke off only for a brief seawatch in which time an immature BB albatross flew by! Sustained easterlies that month brought a run of juicy 'Sibes'! #Birds

This is probably the least surprising piece of news ever.

They’re back 💪💪 After CJ7’s arrival last night at 18:29, her mate, male 022 just arrived back this morning at 06:40. Brilliant news. Let the 2026 season commence 🎉🎉🎉 @careyssecretgarden.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

If that cunt Nigel Farage wasn't in parliament for the energy debate why the fuck did #BBCnews seek him out in another part of the country for his flacid opinion????? If he can't be arsed to attend parliament his opinion should not be courted. WANKERS!

I saw a number of Black Bazas on my trip - this one flew over me in southern Thailand. What a stunning bird of prey - totally unique. #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #naturephotography

Dusky Thrush (1st summer female), Margate Cemetery, May 2013 With less than a dozen UK records at the time (and few if any 'collectable') this 4 day bird was popular if somewhat controversial, with the warm plumage tones hinting at potential mixed parentage. A relief when it was accepted! #Twitching

Our enemies are not in Iran. They are in the Epstein files. Thought you should know.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Lesser Spotted Woodpecker drumming. What an amazing little Uzi machine gun they are! 😍😎 #birds #birding #birdwatching #finland #woodpeckers

A lovely souvenir of a recent trip to Cornwall to see a rare ROSS’S GULL. No birder in their right mind would ever tire of being in the company of such a species. Massive thanks to Theresa Owens for sharing her talents. #peakybirders #cornwallbirding #ukbirding 🪶

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

Ossoff: "After years of this president trashing our allies, we learned today that the Danish govt was preparing military options to defeat a potential American invasion of Greenland just months ago. The president has treated our allies like they don't matter then demanded they come to his aid."

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, "Let us say to our British friends" "If they stand ready to return to the EU Single Market with all associated privileges and duties" "They will be be met with open arms" Sounds like a plan. Who's in?

“Andrew Tate is an important voice for men.” Nigel Farage

TENGMALM'S OWL at Ollaberry, Shetland this afternoon. Discovered yesterday by local residents myself and Logan Johnson decided to try and relocate it and after a bit of searching, a shape in a tree revealed itself to be this beauty! #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #UKWildlife #Birds

Green-tailed Sunbird (endemic taxon 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴), Chestnut Thrush, Bay Woodpecker, & Collared Falconets from the last few days of the productive #Birdfinders #Thailand tour on the country's highest mountain, Doi Inthanon #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #naturebeauty

To say that the Poole Park Forster's Tern is showy is a bit of an understatement... By far and away my best views of this returning American vagrant over the last few years @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

They have mad Mullahs. We have mad Christian evangelicals.

Brilliant. The Frogmouth photo is immense. Just a camouflaged branch.

Nothing screams peace more than the actions of the FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost
