c.org/kpBMGnYGMr It looks nothing like the cartoon image below, but it would be a significant loss to this side of Shrewsbury if the Meole P&R service were to close later this year.

It may not be another heatwave, but this blackbird is making the most of today's sunshine. #ShropshireBirding

Now known as the Strait of Warm Ooze.

Peaceful spot in which to take part in today’s BTO Birds in Green Spaces survey day. @btobirds.bsky.social @btoshropshire.bsky.social

Great bit of kit, but I just wish the plastic didn't end up in the sea in the first place.

Bet this fledgling wished it had been able to stay in the warm and dry rather than having to put up with the wet weather we're having now. #ukwildlife #shropshirebirds #Nature #wildlife #birdphotography #UKBirding #birds #photography

So that’s why we have so many dandelions in our garden!

Artemis 2 space capsule splashes down in the Shropshire Union Canal! They were lucky to miss the trees. All crew are reported safe. Rescue narrowboats have been dispatched and will be there in an hour or two! 😉 #UKCanals #narrowboat #canal #artemis #nasa

First visit to the Gilfach Nature Reserve and hopefully not the last. Looks like an ideal location to see Dippers.

“Sustainable” timber isn’t always safe. Forests are being destroyed, Indigenous communities displaced and critically endangered species like the Malayan tiger are under threat. Demand the UK government takes action @friends-earth.bsky.social action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/sto...

I woke up this morning with a terrible hangover and all I can hear was the sound of my feckin neighbour mowing his lawn. I was going to get up but then I thought fvck it he can mow round me…

Wonderful display of blossom in the hedgerows. All the better for some warm sunshine. #shropshire #spring #wildlife

This is not turning out to be the investment I had hoped for.

Enjoying the first Welsh Raptor Convention at Aberystwyth University and hearing about the great work of the contributors to Cudyll Cymru project. #bto #birds

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that the parents have disappeared.” - Anne Frank, 13 January 1943

If there is more life on a kids nit comb than a garden, we need Government to step in and end the trend. Please sign to ban domestic use of Plastic Grass petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

🔴Reform Council Bans All Mentions of Climate Change While Quietly Taking Green Funds From Government Reform-run West Northamptonshire is removing all references to ‘climate change’ and ‘net zero’ from official documents yet continuing to take government green grants bylinetimes.com/2025/07/23/r...

This.

On the day the kids break up from school for the summer holidays, there’s something of an autumnal look to some of the hedgerows. #shropshire

Wes Streeting's latest plans have leaked. The NHS will still be free but your doctor will pause the treatment every 90 seconds to do ad reads for SquareSpace and HelloFresh.

Now he’s flogging phones.

Farage is saying he wants to reopen coal mines in Wales. He'll be bringing back workhouses and Cholera next.

Do you ever get the feeling you’re being watched?

Some entertaining acrobatics by a starling on the bird table this afternoon. #shropshire #birds #nature #wildlife

There are numerous petitions circulating, but please consider signing this one to urge the government to require the installation of swift bricks in all new builds. 38d.gs/cdpr

I’ve got to be honest, jackdaws are handsome. #nikon #birds#bird_photography

Had an opportunity to take some shots with a Nikkor Z MC 105mm last night, just as the light was fading. It needed a little more depth of field, but if anyone asks, I'll say it's artistic! #nikon #nikonphotographer #nikonZ8

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

You can never find a tiny violin when you need one!

Solar Farms are "good habitats for birds". #birds #nature #wildlife

I love this! 👇🏻

Morning Bluesky. Partial solar eclipse in the UK today, starting at 10.07 and finishing at noon. Don’t be like this guy.

Quite a decent sunset. #sunset #shropshire #weather

Good to see the bumblebees returning to the heathers in the garden (although I didn’t get a shot of them unfortunately). Shame the warm weather is coming to an end over the next few days. #shropshire #nature #wildlife

Janey Godley was absolutely right 👍

This is completely insane, utterly reprehensible & hideous. Donald Trump has shared a bizarre AI video sharing his vision to turn Gaza into a beach resort complete with a giant golden statue of himself in the heart of a revitalised city devoid of traces of all Palestinian culture

Shropdoc petition www.change.org/p/save-our-s...

Fewer than 9K signatures needed now for this petition to be debated in parliament. You know it makes sense. Sign it! Then after you have, note that there is a direct link to mail your MP to tell them that you've signed it. Our US friends call their representatives and get stuff done. We should, too.

Ever get the feeling you are being watched? #shropshire #birds #winter #nature #UKBirds

Odd the things you find under the trees in our local churchyard. #shrewsbury #photography

Well done Ludlow Castle.

This is so true.

It doesn't look like we will have another colourful sunset over Shrewsbury as we did last night. #shropshire #shrewsbury #weather

I'm lost for words! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

My latest post on Substack and my first cross-publishing using one of their shareable assets.

The Conservative Party shows once again how out of touch it is, this time with neurodiverse people

If anyone has lost a (hopefully empty) oil tank on the outskirts of Shrewsbury, I think I might have found it!
