And some shots of new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Andy Burnham, with supporters, friends & wife Marie-France, also from the PM changeover in Downing Street last month. Couldn't stay for the new cabinet ministers arriving later that eve, but I'll snap them at cabinet after the Parly recess.

Looks like I didn't post any pics of the PM changeover in Downing Street last month on Bluesky. Mea culpa. Here are a few - first up outgoing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, with current cabinet ministers, supporters and wife Victoria. (plus 100+ photographers, camera crews and journos, obvs 😉)

Forgot to post these guys last week - the St James' Park #pelican chicks. They are so lovely. Quite confident & cheeky, too. They seem to have grown very fast, almost the same size as their parents now, but still in their protective grey/black down. Really enjoyed watching them.

Some more shots of the wild pink flamingos at Zwillbrocker Venn, Germany. Most of the adults will fly off to milder Dutch near-coastal waters, which don't freeze over, for the winter. The chicks will stay behind for a while until they are ready to fly, conditions this year are great for them.

Shots of the wild pink #flamingos at Zwillbrocker Venn, a wetlands nature reserve on the German-Dutch border. Adults are all ringed to track their annual migration to the Venn, where they bring up their chicks. There were 60+ adults in spring Saw the chicks as well. Large pic set @Alamy_Editorial

Ps. The exhausted mum, who managed to get all her chicks through the hailstorm, long heat waves and drought, clearly needed some solitude for a while. But she stayed close by...just in case.😉 In the two nests I've regularly visited, all juveniles have survived. Well done, stork parents!

Imageplotter @imageplotter.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

The now almost fully grown juvenile storks, beaks changing from grey to red. They forage for food independently now, parents sometimes join them. Many parents start to leave for their southern winter quarters in August, with the juveniles following in mixed adult-juvenile flocks a while later.

Managed to go out for a short while (all still very slow and painful after the surgery) with a camera to photograph two nearby white stork nests with mum and juveniles. They were thirsty, but looked well fed and healthy, waiting for dad to bring some juicy worms and insects. Pics at Alamy Live News.

Thought it was time for a little pic of his Royal Cuteness, the Larrmaster @number10cat.bsky.social. Here, he is sunbathing on the red carpet, ahead of the Joe Biden visit in 2023 in Downing Street, looking very relaxed. Have a lovely weekend, everyone.

Sometimes, the background in Downing Street can emphasize the general atmosphere of a shot. Here's a slightly stressed looking one of Suella Braverman (then Home Secretary) and another quite calm and collected one of James Cleverly (then Foreign Secretary). Pics at Alamy.

Some positive pictures from Iftars I photographed in previous years. They were joyous & friendly, the majority of it was large communal meal sitting on the floor, I was invited to join. TrafSquare had small prayer areas for men & women, overall a brief element before the meal. Would love to go again

Another little pic of the Larrmaster in a moment of feline cuteness and dedication to the job. Although he looks a bit like he was just caught singing in the shower in this one. 😁@number10cat.bsky.social

I'm not really a royalist, but I'd like to think that King Charles III senses that going ahead with the official visit to the United States in spring is not a good idea. I really hope they will re-consider.

Imageplotter @imageplotter.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

I can't remember if I posted this one before, but here is a shot of the Larrmaster, @number10cat.bsky.social looking particularly relaxed. Still stuck in Germany with more medical stuff & major surgery piling on. 2026 not great so far, but hope to be back home in London and Downing Street soon.

And a few shots from the New Year's Day Swim at #Haltern Lake last week. Wonderful atmosphere this year, people really had fun, singing and dancing before their dash along the natural sand beach to the lake. One of the largest NYD swims in DE.

Came across this impressive red deer stag with his harem of 8 or 10 hinds on my walk (they were quite far away). And a cheeky little robin who kept following me until I threw him some seeds. Cute!

Throw back to the Larrmaster patrolling #DowningStreet on duty in November, during the visit of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. @number10cat.bsky.social always takes his job seriously, charming most of the visitors as he goes along.

Standing tall & proud again, @TrafalgarsTree ! 🎄 It was dry for the ceremony this year (yay!!) and I think the new position of the press pen makes for much nicer shots of you with the National Gallery in the background. Cheers to the people of Norway! Pic set at Alamy Live News.

On Remembrance Sunday, before the arrival of politicians at the cenotaph, members of regional police forces, St John's Ambulance Service and others had their photos taken in Downing Street. And of the Chief Cutie @Number10cat did his duty and posed with them. Lovely to watch.
