"The valley has been identified by researchers as a location that could soon bear even sweeter fruit for wine producers as the #climate crisis leads to higher UK temperatures." 'How an Essex valley became one of the UK’s most exciting new wine regions.' The jubilatory tone of this piece! 😳

A brilliant blue sky (?a consequence of reduced flights) soon clouded over this morning but I was out early enough to capture this male European Robin Erithacus rubecula in full voice in a small London park before it did #birds. He is always bold, but usually only seen in deep shade.

Took a 430 mile round trip by train on Saturday to see puffins on the Yorkshire coast. Saw one puffin, and tens of thousands of gannets. Pretty happy with the result! R5;800mm(cropped);1/800s;f10;iso800 #birds #gannets #rspbbempton #ukbirds

#birds #pigeons We know about homing pigeons, and how they were used in WW1 and afterwards to send messages. Now, in #Russia they've developed a #biodrone, with a chip implanted in its brain connected to a backpack of electronics. This truly is humankind's domination and exploitation of Nature!
