Despite going missing yday afternoon and early this morning, the Blue-cheeked Bee-eater eventually reappeared and settled down in one area where it performed brilliantly most of the afternoon, hawking over our heads down to <10m. It was very vocal (as in clip) at times. #OrkneyBirding

Well, I only took 2,391 images (in 4hrs) of the Blue-cheeked Bee-eater on Sanday yday! Here's a selection of my better ones. At times it was c.5 metres above our heads and just too quick for me to follow! Unimaginable views! Olympus OM-1 mk2 with Leica Panasonic 100-400 lens. #OrkneyBirding

Jarell Quansah has his red card ban extended to two matches. FIFA will consider an appeal, if the England defender can prove he’s either American or Argentinian or a brown envelope stuffed with cash

Alan Shearer: "When the referee goes back to VAR for Egypts goal & cancels it due to an interference at the start of play, but doesn't go back to VAR for Agentina's winning goal despite 2 interferences at the start of play... then we're watching a "theatre" not a football match.

Didactic video featuring two species which have declined catastrophically due to disease transfer at feeding stations. Birds infected with Trichomonas struggle to eat and will drop food items from their beaks, which are then eaten by healthy birds, hence RSPB no longer sells table feeders #UKBirding

If anyone went around throwing knot-weed seeds or cane toads into the countryside they'd be locked up but it's apparently fine to release thousands of non-native birds into the countryside and destroy any native flora and fauna that might compete with them, because "sport".

The annihilation of great white sharks has led to an increase in seals, etc, and an associated decline in the fish that those species feed on, illustrating the ripple effect of losing a top predator. When will we learn? Ecosystems just don't work without top predators. phys.org/news/2025-03...

It’s heartbreaking to watch Tяump betray the Ukrainian people but it is becoming increasingly clear that he keeps tightening the screw on Ukraine because he has no leverage over Putin. His only hope of a deal is to force Ukraine to submit to Russia’s terms. Shameful and dangerous for us all

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

There will be so many more unless humans do something about it urgently. Even then it will be too late for many. Wildlife crime laws need to be made much stronger & the penalties far more draconian. Current judicial systems do not treat wildlife crime as being serious crime, whatever they say.
