Curlews, Redshank, and a fluffed-up Little Egret on Porlock Marsh today.

A day of mists, silhouettes, and snowdrops.....

Not only was Manafort Trump’s former campaign chair, jailed for financial crimes after investigations into his Kremlin-aligned influence operations – to lobby the president on Bitcoin policy, but he also acted for the Russian backed candidate in the Ukraine Presidentials prior to Zelensky

Mud, mud, glorious mud!

A favourite oak under a rare blue sky!

More integrity in his little finger than his detractors have displayed in entire careers.

Beautiful mandarins, blood oranges, and Canary Island bananas have arrived direct from the Spanish growers via the brilliant @crowdfarming.bsky.social, just 9 days after picking.

Our resident Great Blue Heron has been weathering the blizzard with aplomb. I spotted it knee-deep in snow in Central Park's Loch during the height of the storm. 💙🩶💙 #Herons #CentralPark #birding

A tad damp this morning.....

Proud to have voted for this man to be my VP.

Trump's band of murderers!!!

A damp day to say the least....

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

We fix this the way it got broken, with the ballot. Vote Democratic. Every office, every election. It isn't hard. Ask yourself why so many people want you to *think* it's hard. Why they want you to think it's hopeless. A diverse, inclusive, prosperous America IS possible, and it enrages them.

Just one more night....

A Snowy walk to the shop #Shetland #snow

The Russians are here on Exmoor! Four White-fronted geese from Siberia have appeared on the flooded meadow.

It's starting to look wintry....

A joy to see BBC news and Laura Kuenssberg being hung out to dry by a stellar cast of top economists.

It may be small, but it lives in the garden and ventures inside just once a year.....

Midday sun at 60 degrees north 💛 On the darkest day, there is always light to be found. It can feel hard to find, harder to hold onto, but it is there. To keep and cultivate the light, to carry it into the darkness, is sometimes all that we can do #Shetland #WinterSolstice

FOURTH White-tailed Eagle disappears - RSPB offers reward for information leading to a conviction for this one or any of the other three. New blog ⬇️⬇️ #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/12/19/f...

Kemi Badenoch's stance on this is truly bizarre! It's so obvious to most people that these measures to tackle misogyny, and worse through additional resources, teaching and support for all young boys are necessary. In what world can someone oppose it?

A mighty 'anvil' cloud over Wales this morning.

Yesterday's glorious light over Dunkery.
