Fair play to Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Our feed the tigers experience doesn't come with a self sacrifice option.

Went on a proper twitch yesterday to see a black winged kite. Lots of people turned up and the kite obligingly sat in a tree for us. One old bloke had his email address written down so he could whip it out if anyone took photos. I happily sent him my blurry shots. An all-round wholesome morning.
A picture through a spotting scope shows telegraph wires with pigeons perched on them. Below, in front of the trees, a white bird is flying away from the camera. This is the black winged kite, a rare visitor. Hopefully it either finds its way back home or lives a long and happy life in Norfolk.

Peregrine Falcons communicating via semaphore at Cley reserve. An incredibly lucky spot. #Peregrine #Cley #birding
Two peregrine Falcons in a clear blue sky. The left has its wings back and talons ready to pounce. The right looks to be veering away, tail feathers spread wide.Two peregrine Falcons in a clear blue sky. The left has one wing at 12 o'clock and one at 4, and the right had one wing at 9 o'clock and the other looks to have disappeared but is just flapping towards the camera.

I've just learned the cormorants can shit a tree to death. They are also to blame for global warming!

There are SO MANY STARS
A corner of a stone cottage is bathed in orange light. Two trees catch the same glint. Spreading out between them is a dark sky filled with thousands of tiny pinpricks of light.

I have traded in a lens for a different lens for the first time. I fear this is the beginning of the end. RIP any empty space in the house

Are the dolphins that are used by the US military called 'marines'? Anyway, we don't have any of the bastards at our zoo. Cannot trust them if they're willing to spy, bite, vaporise etc on behalf of Trump.

It finally looks like a bag. Just 14 final ends to weave in. So it should be fully finished in 3-5 working months

This is my first Big Crochet Project™️. Started back in March, I've just finished sewing the main shape of it together. Just some end weaving, a bit more sewing and a complicated looking strap to go. Just in time for winter.
13 white, orange and brown crotcheted squares in the shape of sunflowers are attached in a sort of chevron pattern White, orange and brown crocheted squares have been folded together to make a sort of bag shape

A very literal round robin #birds #rspb
A scruffy Robin sits in a tree. It's facing straight towards the camera and is very, almost perfectly, spherical.

Greenshanks at RSPB Old Moor #birds #rspb
Two wading birds are wandering through shallow water. Their top half is a dark, mottled brown and their bellies and chests are white. They have long beaks and one has its beak in the water looking for tasty food.A greenshank comes in for a landing, its wings spread out straight. It's refelxred in the water just below it.

Phone broke Friday. Revived backup phone Friday eve. Broken phone fixed but not guaranteed. New phone acquired. Shop transferring everything over. There was about a 2 hour window where I was phoneless. After initial panic, was considering an offline life. New phone ready soon. What have I done.

A field of red coloured small shrubby plants is split with a thin dirt path leading up to two mushroom shaped oak trees. The sky is blue and free from clouds.Lots of what look like dead tree trunks are emerging from a lake covered in a pinkish green floating moss type substance. It feels a bit creepyA carpet of tiny pinky green flowers covers most of a river. Bits of dark blue water are visible, and shadows of grass spike across the surface.A dragonfly sits on a cone shaped stone in the middle of a river

A view from inside the new Warehouse venue next to Villa Park in Birmingham. There's a wide opening with flag bunting and three security guys in flourescent jackets looking out onto a courtyard dominated by the Aston Villa football ground looming straight ahead.

Baby kestrels. Old Moor RSPB Reserve.
A large, square wooden bird box sits among trees. A young kestrel sits on a flat perch outside the box looking up at its sibling who is flapping down to them from the top of the box. Their wings are stretched upwards and their feet are haphazardly dangling below them.

A slice of dark yellow sand at the bottom. A lighthouse on a rock sits over to the right in the sea. A man walks along the sand in the bottom left, dressed in dark clothes. A wave breaks behind him.Two triangle shaped rocks jut out of the sea, their points angled to the left. A big hole is cut out of the rear triangle showing the sea through it.Sun beams shine through dark grey clouds and reflect onto the sea.

First session of The Between. Bea Ashbourne makes her debut and almost immediately gets stabbed by a haunted cook. No notes. #trrpg #rpg #thebetween @nottopgearrh.swifties.social @andrewwormald.bsky.social
Sheets of paper overlay each other. One is a character sheet for The Underground from the RPG The Between, one is a light blue index card with a clue written on it: Bedroom window - looks onto a country house that's on fire - St James's Street. The final piece of paper has a list of Elegant Victorian Surnames. Three purpley/pinky/bluey Galaxy looking dice sit on top of the character sheet.
