What a week, huh? all Wednesdays @whataweekhuh.bsky.social · 21h
Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?”
Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.”
Snowy aka Milou is very excited about the drink he has found.

Viñeta de Tintin
El capitán Haddock, sentado a una mesa y con aspecto de estar agotado, dice: "¡Menuda semana, ¿eh?".
Tintín, a su derecha, le dice: "Capitán, es miércoles".
A la izquierda, Milú mira muy contento la bebida que está en la mesa.

🐦‍⬛🎶 The 11 birds whose calls I heard early this morning (October 14th) by the river Tees. 🐦 A good selection today, considering that I could only stay for 20 minutes or so.

Today’s Autumn Arrival Spotlight is the delightful Pallas’s Warbler! 🍂 These tiny visitors from far east are a rare autumn treat for birdwatchers! Look for their bright yellow eyebrow stripe and lemon rump as they flit through the trees.

A blustery afternoon in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, DE. It’s very similar to Zachodniopomorskie in PL - also very quiet, sleepy even. Which is what makes it perfect for watching the migrating geese, mainly white-fronted & pink-footed. There were also some cranes, egrets, & plenty of waders & ducks.
