Interesting news from that nemesis of the right, the excellent alien, Count Binface! That's one less alternative to Labour in Holborn and St Pancras! The Count will see Farage next time in Clacton... 👍 Which leaves @zackpolanski.bsky.social as an even more obvious choice! @greenparty.org.uk

Dungeness: Some highly cropped images of the fantastic Brown Booby, that was brilliantly picked out by @neilburt.bsky.social in among a large distant feeding flock of Gannets this afternoon off the fishing boats. Despite woeful phone signal at Dunge most the of the locals connected thanks to radio.

Montagu's Harrier update. English female HV is now through the Pyrenees, she has added Spain to her travel list and is lining up for the daunting Mediterranean crossing... continue west and then through Gibraltar? or a sooner but longer sea crossing...

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

Last day at Batumi and the raptors performed again. No time to sort photos, but here's a couple of juvenile Honey Buzzards - a typical dark bird and a less typical one. Got to love the plumage variation in this species. #@batumiraptorcount.org

25 years ago today, I stood in what was then a dying shipyard in Belfast, gazing at a scene associated with terrible tragedy. The graving dock where 'Titanic' was fitted out. I thought of the victims. Back in the car, a newsflash came on the radio. That's how I remember September 11, 2001... 😢

Masked thugs turning up to intimidate and cause disorder have no place on our streets. I am asking whether our laws are fit for purpose when it comes to groups that organise intimidation and disorder. Political disagreement is part of democracy. Violence and intimidation are not.
