Short night, thanks to a weird headache at the base of my skull (I’m assuming my neck muscles are to blame). On the bright side, should be at the office so early that I’ll be able to start my weekend around 2 pm

Spontaneous musical theatre visit tonight, #BacktotheFutureMusical in Hamburg. Musically not amongst my favourites (even with the well known songs in it), but the cast were great, staging is spectacular, and the story is told very well and extremely entertaining 😄

Die Union macht Energiepolitik für 15% der Bevölkerung und und prahlt auch noch ständig damit, wundert sich aber, dass die AfD in Umfragen an ihr vorbeizieht. Drei Viertel der Deutschen wollen weiterhin keine Rechtsextremen, aber 57% eine schnellere Energiewende.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ABCD I have a golden crowned sparrow in the garden and a Oregon ssp dark eyed junco on a feeder. #photography #ECK #birds 🪶

I went out looking for a Stonechat, but ended up finding a Red-flanked Bluetail instead — guess “Bluetail” works for today’s #BirdOfTheDay #ABCD 😄🪶 なおノビタキもいっぱいいた✌️ #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #Red-flankedBluetail #ルリビタキ #birds #野鳥

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ABCD, any bird beginning any part of their name with these letters set by @alan678.bsky.social ~ so much choice & decided on a beautiful female Dotterel ~ Photo taken at Cwm Cadlan ~ South Wales 😍🪶🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birdphotography #ECK #ukwildlife

For some reason I thought today would be a board game meetup. It's next week. Dang.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ABCD, any bird beginning any part of their name with these letters. Extra points for a set using all. This is tricky, as I've got my pictures sorted under the birds' German names. Let's see... We have an Alpine Chough, a Blue-Headed Vireo, a Cardinal, and

Another new lifer yesterday: saw a pair of Garganeys at the lake. Pretty rare guest in Germany <3 #birds #vögel

Sparpläne bei der Eingliederungshilfe sind echt das Letzte. Immer von denen nehmen, die sowieso wenig haben, während die oberen 1% warm und trocken sitzen… Petition auf der offiziellen Seite der Regierung, bei genug Unterschriften muss der Bundestag sich damit befassen.

Ob die CDU je wieder wird aufhören können mit dem Kleinkriegen der AfD?

I go to the gym at least once a week, and I have no idea what I did differently yesterday, but I have not been this sore and tired for a while *ouch* Might just fall into bed ridiculously early and hopefully be good for a bid of a birding walk tomorrow morning again.

Some #FeederFriends for #BirdOfTheDay

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FeederFriends, birds you might see at your feeder (not necessarily AT the feeder). I don't have a feeder, but a #HouseFinch is a bird I see at other people's. This one is proud of his berry. #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #finch #finches #WildlifePhotography

If anyone is in the Whitehaven area, could you pop over to the Jawas and ask if they have any secondhand droids for sale, thanks.

🪶 @alan678.bsky.social has chosen #LeafAndLight for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. Alternative is #CourtshiporConflict I’ve gone with a Song Thrush in the Ivy in the sunshine. #birds #birdsofbluesky #birdphotography #ECK #irishbirding #naturephotography #thrush #songthrush #sunlight

Two squabbling house sparrows mid-air. #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #CourtshiporConflict

@alan678.bsky.social and @robcrank68.bsky.social alternate each day's #BirdOfTheDay theme. Check their accounts for the (usually) pinned post at the top. Today's theme is #Reflections. I'm partial to this line-up of Black-necked Stilts on Corte Madera Creek #Marin #California #BradyBunchVibes 🪶

Did someone say #LongNecks ? A Least Bittern for #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

Canada geese sure have #LongNecks, so this picture taken today is a perfect fit. Fun times at the pond with the Canadians and Greylag Geese fighting for the best nesting spots. #BirdOfTheDay

New lifer today, a lone waxwing. Not often spotted here, maybe left behind on migration? At least according to eBird there were no other local sightings in the last 2 weeks.

It’s definitely spring, over night lots of blackcaps have arrived

Early morning walk birdwatching. Saw an eagle! No decent picture unfortunately (as always, once I spot something "special", someone walked up and scared the bird off, and later it was flying too high) but still 😍🦅

Did someone say #Birdbutt? #BirdoftheDay #ECK #NikonPhotographers #Birds #Wildlife #Photography

Starting the weekend with what I hope will be a fun movie.

#BirdButt is a fun #BirdOfTheDay theme. Pretty sure every bird photographer feels as if he has more of those pictures than „proper“ portrait shots.

Today's #birdoftheday theme is #manmadeperch any bird perched on a manmade object; alt #naturalperch any bird perched on something provided by Mother Nature. A black vulture decided this boardwalk rail at Orlando Wetlands made an excellent perch. #birds #birding #photography #orlandowetlands #ECK

Bit tired, and have to work late tomorrow. So, short day at work today.

#BirdOfTheDay , birds on #ManmadePerch and #NaturalPerch.

Digging through my camera roll for #BirdOfTheDay 's #RareEncounters . Little Grebe and fieldfare, both I've encountered just once, and got only one half-decent pic each out of it.

One more for #BirdOfTheDay, Black&White: a white stork. Just this morning saw one on a field, this pic is from last year though.

A Great Spotted Woodpecker for the #Red&Black theme of #BirdOfTheDay

Wanted to start knitting a pair of socks, first time in years. Almost had the two starting rows done, lost several loops on the last purl. Put the wool away again 😂

Interesting evening. I „understand“ - and I use the term loosely - maybe half of it (the physics, the language isn’t a problem), but it’s fascinating. 😁 #physics #BrianCox #Emergence

Off to this evening’s edutainment. Brian Cox with his new show @ Laeiszhalle. 🌎🪐

I hope the snow is behind us now. Here’s a male House Finch on a snowy day for the #birdoftheday theme #weather #birdphotography #nature

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #weather. Here's a Great Blue Heron in a Florida rainstorm. #birds #nature #photography

Die Rechten sind dafür, die Subventionen für Erneuerbare zu streichen – wenn die so gut seien, sollen sie sich doch ohne Staatshilfe auf dem freien Markt durchsetzen. Okay, Deal. Aber dann streichen wir auch alle Subventionen für alle Fossilen & Atomkraft. Oh, die werden dann unbezahlbar? Sag bloß.

is it April 1st already? Local news just posted that a wolf was caught in inner city Hamburg, basically next to our busiest shopping street. Apparently a young one searching for a new territory, but to get there he must have taken several really wrong turns. Hope they can release him somewhere.

They’ve only got a tiny bit of #blue around the eyes, but thanks to that, here’s a gannet picture for #BirdOfTheDay

Die selben Leute (Spahn und Co.) fordern aktuell wieder eine Senkung der Mineralölsteuer um 40 Cent/l um gegen die Ölpreise anzugehen. Es sind die selben Leute, die euch immer erzählen, dass der Staat kein Geld hätte. Haben sie Vorschläge zur Refinanzierung? Nein. Ergo. Rattenfängerei und Verarsche.

Nearly superglued myself to a shoe, thx to the glue flowing from the tube faster than expected 😂

My brain can't process this much information.

Booked a rental car for my next UK trip. Just for one day, bit of a trip to the countryside from Southend. My first time driving on the left side of the road, wish me luck. 😱

Watched Project Hail Mary. Days since I cried over a fictional alien: 0… Marvelous film, don’t miss it.
