Here's a Four-year-old Gannet for #EFG. Note the classic piano key feathers showing this dude is not old enough to drink yet. Who knew my Saturday trip to @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs was going to be so useful for #BirdOfTheDay.

Gannet flying above the ocean. He has black strips on the back of his wings showing he isn't quite mature yet.

I guess that's enough yelling online for a Saturday, here's a meme. I'm going go gambol in the fields and frolic in the buttercups or some shit.

Treat your body like a data center
consume as much water and literature as possible
upset local city councils with your existence

My personal fav #BestOfTheMonth is this fluffy young swan I took on Aug 1. I like the wispy feathers and the light on the water. #BirdOfTheDay

I sadly have nothing in my rolls for #BirdOfTheDay today, but I finally joined @rspb.bsky.social this weekend so here’s to many more lovely outings and bird photos in my future.

My son, who only had one year of high school disrupted by the pandemic, and who got through three years of university before LLMs became ubiquitous, looks at the incoming uni students and says he feels like he "caught the last helicopter out of educational Saigon."

I’m going to call this a #BirdOfTheDay twofer. The white around this puffin’s eye forms a lovely circle for #CirclesAndSpheres plus he poses nicely against the sea backdrop for #StrikeAPose

A huge thank you to @atlanticbirding.bsky.social and @robcrank68.bsky.social for hosting #BirdOfTheDay. I’ve been a bit down lately with the loss of my mom and fears for my trans daughter in a hateful world and finding this daily thread has brightened my spirits immensely.
