So cheering… a post box ‘topper’ from Zouch, a small hamlet on the River Soar which straddles Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. After a Lent of drought, the birds are soggy with a month’s rain in 2-3 days.

250 million birds flew across America last night, tracked by radar. Migration season is upon us, and it’s wilder than you could imagine. Birdcast’s live migration maps and forecasts (from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are brilliant, and you can find them here. birdcast.org/migration-to...

Latest archaeological crochet project finished! Bronze Age beaker, dated to 2500-800BC, from the Folkestone Museum collection #AncientBlueSky #Crochet #SciArt 🏺 #BronzeAge #FibreCrafts #CrochetSky

A photograph of a crocheted beaker. It is based on a Bronze Age beaker and made up of a light yarn and a darker brown yarn. The body is light brown, with dark brown lines and slashes to emulate the incised markings on the original beaker.

Another photo of the beaker, now paired with the grape cup I made earlier. Behind is some yarn, with the blurry background of my flat.

My favorite depiction of the Trojan Horse, and the earliest known version. I love the windows, like an airplane, and that the windows go up the neck too.

Trojan horse depicted on the Mykonos vase ca. 675 BC, so around the time of the Odyssey and Iliad. Found with human bones inside (like the horse!) and now in the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos. Image shows the horse with little windows in its side so you can see the men waiting inside.

An arrowhead made of #meteorite iron: around 1,500 BC, a meteorite struck #Estonia. A fragment of it arrived - presumably in the baggage of an amber trader - at what is now Lake Biel, #Switzerland. An arrowhead was then made there from the cosmic iron. From Mörigen, 900-800 BC. 📷️ me

A corroded metal arrowhead displayed upright on a thin stand. The triangular point is heavily weathered and rough, with two short side barbs extending from the base. Its surface shows a mottled texture of rust and mineral deposits, giving it an uneven, pitted appearance

Not the most dignified way to treat Rutland’s famous sculpture. Braunston churchyard. Too sunny to photograph properly. (The cordon was to keep people and angry bees apart.)

🖼️ Will McPhail (British Illustrator, born 1988) "Picnic Time", 2024. Publication: The New Yorker Date: December 23, 2024. 🫂

Hier ist ein Alt-Text für den Cartoon von Will McPhai

Alt-Text:Eine dreiteilige Comic-Illustration zeigt den humorvollen Wandel eines Stierkampfes in ein Picknick.

Oben: Ein Matador hält sein rotes Tuch (Muleta) hoch, während ein Stier aus der Ferne auf ihn zustürmt.

Mitte: Der Stier nähert sich im Galopp, und der Matador beginnt, das rote Tuch schwungvoll flach auf den Boden auszubreiten.

Unten: Der Konflikt ist gelöst. Das rote Tuch dient nun als Picknickdecke. Der Matador und der Stier sitzen sich friedlich gegenüber und trinken gemeinsam Tee aus feinem Porzellan.
