Whole Earth peanut butter in a ‘drizzler’ 👎🏻I like the brand and am ok giving it a good stir rather than have it emulsified. Doable in a jar but really awkward with the drizzler so you just end up with oiled bread. Plus it’s a plastic container, not glass. Here endeth today’s consumer advice.

Saddened by the news our friend Bill Oddie has passed away. We spent many happy days birding with Bill on his beloved Fair Isle and here in Shetland and his books in the 1980s inspired us and a generation of young birders. Since then he has inspired millions to appreciate nature. A true legend.

This tree in a local village is looking particularly spectacular this year #trees
Looking along a road in a village. There are some large trees on the right. Most are dark green but the largest in the foreground has pale green leaves which are glowing in the bright sunshine. The sky is blue with only wisps of white cloud

This is so good. “When you plant a tree, it does not matter who you are or where you came from. Your hands are in the soil, and you belong to the planet as a human being. We don’t just plant trees. We plant belonging, and we plant purpose.”

Not a stile, but I am quite partial to a bit of tinsheddery. This from deepest Sutherland.
A very small corrugated metal shed that is gradually rusting and decaying. There's a door, window frame that is rectangular but patched up with an oval shaped window. It's sited on a slight hill with vegetation around.

Well, a thin cloud formation that looks a bit like a bird, at least. The mountain is real and has trees on it. There are also overhead railway cables in the foreground.

@tutty352.bsky.social visited the dig at Carlisle Cricket club yesterday - they’ve uncovered a very nice piece of wall. Today is the last day for a while and much of it will be filled in again. So many finds indicating it was a very important place yet they seem to struggle with funding 🤷🏻‍♀️

An extra wide ‘spot the features’ photo (clues in alt text) for #FingerpostFriday
A rural gated driveway entrance. A backdrop of dark trees and a road in the foreground. Starting from the left - fence with small wooden stile, small postbox on a pole, large stone gatepost, open gateway, large stone gatepost with metal gate swung back, fence wth notice on it. To the extreme right of the photo is a tall fingerpost painted in alternating black and white bands. Behind the post is some blue sky with fluffy cloud, green fields and distant cloud. If you zoom right in on the bottom of the right hand gatepost you might just make out the arrow shape of an OS benchmark.

In the background there are mountains, the highest on the left. Fluffy white clouds are above them and the sky is very blue. It is evening and shadows are long

They’re in clouds, electric sockets and even on toast. Why do humans see faces in everyday objects?
Human brains are designed to detect faces as quickly as possible, which can lead to the perception of ‘false faces’
