Red kite.. posing atop an ash tree in north Hampshire, England 10/01/2026

Delta Lake in Grand Teton NP has everything—beauty, empty plastic bottles, toilet paper. A single viral photo can send thousands of boots into a place that evolved to handle almost none. The destruction here is typical. Attention moving faster than ecology can survive. www.sfgate.com/national-par...

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Latest on the 7-year Radical Road closure. Deadline to comment on an application for permanent fencing is 13 Jan. Hopefully @ramblersscotland.bsky.social is on the case - and anyone else who is fed up with this blocked historic path in Holyrood Park parkswatchscotland.co.uk/2026/01/02/h...

'How much does the aurora borealis weigh?" It's pretty light.

Just been looking for somewhere to stay for a break and it is obvious that AI has been let loose on some of the holiday let sites. One in Sutherland was bleating about how good Loch Ness is and how conveniently close it was.

The 1st day of 2026 has seen an abrupt change to something more visibly wintry 😀 Light snow on and & off all day. Just 5cm but certainly looking the part 👍 Hopefully the Amber warning lives up to its reputation this time 😉🤞 Anyway, a very Happy New Year to all of you. See you out there! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗻🌲❄️🦌🥃🥾🚲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

George goes postal - sends a Christmas Card just before New Year. #Rampage #TheArchers

1/10 The new year is just around the corner, so here's a look back at our top 10 favourite pictures of 2025. Here is the Harvest Moon rising over Titterstone Clee. The sky was a vivid blend of pink and purple, contrasting with the cool tones of the radar dome below. #Shropshire

Dear Roy, Before Christmas you had a Wheelie Bin pinched. I have just had a Satellite Dish taken from my garden. I used this as a Parabolic Reflector for recording Birdsong. So if anyone sees this at a car boot sale, be careful as it may be Radioactive.

POLAR STRATOSPHERIC CLOUDS: Normally, Earth's stratosphere is empty and transparent. This week, however, it is filling with rainbow-colored clouds. "On Christmas Day, I observed the first PSCs of the season," reports Fredrik Broms of Kvaløya, Norway. spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...

Christmas 2010 and a much missed bunch of characters. Water was like a stone that year. Snow covered field with three #Hereford cattle beside some hay, they had eaten most of it. Bull on the left with two cows. www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2212418

Well I'm getting rather sick of living in Potterville. Can we get back to the 'Falls now?

If you're indulging in a large festive dinner this week, this man could probably tell you how much energy you would need to cook it: James Prescott Joule FRS, born #OnThisDay in 1818. His work on heat was crucial to the first law of thermodynamics, and the SI unit for for energy is named for him.

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 26 user. Roadworks have an effect,as do traffic lights possibly timed to deter cars. One at Newbiggin/High Street in Musselburgh only lets two vehicles through and buses get stuck there for a long time. When card readers speed up there will be a big difference.

Very good, but how far is it to Dunsinane? #Perthshire

I am long out, but anyone at the Hearts Rangers game and listening to Radio Scotland are gonners. #Whamageddon Comiserations

Dodging all the pheasant massacres in #Perthshire today. Hilton Wood near Loch of the Lowes, a still photo so no gunfire.

Light rain falls as a western #bluebird (Sialia mexicana) perches on a sapling along a country road in rural SW #Oregon. Unlike many songbirds, the species often hunts insects by dropping to the ground from a perch, rather than catching them in midair #birds #wildlifephotography #photography

Does anyone know how to cancel a bid on Ebay? I put £3 on a cowboy outfit and now I’m 6 minutes away from owning Reform UK…

🎄 It's Day 15 in our #Shropshire advent calendar and here is sunrise at Manstone Rock, the highest point on the Stiperstones. It's always a bit tricky driving up there in wintry conditions and - not surprisingly - I had the whole place to myself for a few hours. 🎅

What’s this, the actual final GWR HST?

Standing stones, Glengorm Castle, #Mull. Three survive out of five. The enclosure is from the past couple of hundred years. #StandingStoneSunday

After 49 years, today sees the last day of HST operation in regular passenger service on England (a few continue to operate in Scotland for now). To mark the occasion, here’s a flashback almost six years to when the final HST rolled into King’s Cross on 21 December 2019.

The Catrail - a long earthwork in the hills to west of Hawick, #Roxburghshire #Scotland. Thought to be a boundary marking. Age uncertain anywhere between 100BCE to 700. Cat from an alternative name for Picts, although no evidence it was them.
