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.

And some more shots from the spectacular looking #Montgolfiade in Warendorf today. These are from the daytime launch of the hot air balloons in beautiful sunshine. Full pic set at Alamy Live News

David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”

The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.

Good to hear they did it, though. Perhaps first time parents

It‘s a Soho tradition and has been going for many years, but is more of a local event and not heavily publicised, otherwise the busy streets there would clog up too much.

A few shots from the annual #Soho Waiters' Race. Always good fun to watch and photograph.

Unlikely, they need wetlands or shallow water bodies (lots of those in Holland) that don't freeze over in winter & have nutrients in summer (so not StJ). There are also plenty in the Eastern Algarve ( shallow water in the Ria Formosa nature reserves), similar to the marshes and salt lakes in Spain.

Thank you. They seemed pretty well adjusted :-)

Having recently had rather unpleasant surgery on my intestines, I can only agree and can't stress enough just how important fibre, vegetables, and plant based foods are for the digestive system.

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

Edward, since this dialogue is somehow happening under my reply to a Guardian article, I'd like to ask you politely not to become personally offensive. Otherwise blocking will be my only option to keep things civilised.

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

I don't think it's that clear cut. No, money is not more important than morality, and I don't think that was Starmer's motivation at all. But he is a realist and knows some actions can make matters worse. International diplomacy is bloody hard work and decisions taken aren't always easy.

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

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.

Imageplotter @imageplotter.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I'd have to disagree. Starmer dealt with Trump as well or badly as most other European leaders, probably better than most, actually. The Spanish approach, as courageous as it is, isn't really an option for the UK. That approach would only work if all European leaders took it in unison.

Yes. Although I prefer the Gartenkatze.

Thank you! I am sure it won't be swift, and sadly full isn't an option either, but I will settle for getting back to some form of normality. Hope you are doing ok also, Patti! I am not on Bluesky all that often and need to come back to it more.

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.

Outrage generates clicks, which is why you'll have noticed a surge in online content talking London down. Be vigilant: so much of what we see online is far from real. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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.

It does make the museum experience worse and it will become far less inclusive. Tour groups of school children from abroad will think twice, so will travelling families with children. Keep them free, please, or charge a small nominal fee (£5)

I don’t mind book reviews, nor books about the Royals, for those who like that, but the relentless H&M hating and scandalising fuelled by certain UK papers is just vile. It may be a review, but the paper selects to feature it in social media posts.

Is this really the sort of cheap, irrelevant and attention seeking headline the Times wants to push out during an international crisis with several wars going on? Seriously? Give it a rest, please.

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
