Excellent night of Jazz Sabbath. Great playing and fantastic and very funny in between song ramblings. Got to meet the main man Milton Keanes. Thanks @rockgod2112.bsky.social for getting tickets.

Frustratingly 100% brief and solo views of Hudsonian Whimbrel from Tor Ness The bird flew N. low over the wave cut platform and by the time I had raised my bins I had <30 seconds on the bird. Uniform upper-parts with strong cap and dark lores extending behind eye. @northronbirdobs.bsky.social

A surprise new addition to my south Hampshire garden list this AM. Not just 1 but 2, Hawfinches first thing. This muddy patch is becoming a bit of a mega micro patch, with Brambling last week and a Serin June 2024 feeding on it!! #ukbirding

Fabulous gig by Nordic Giants in Southampton last night. I’m pleased to announce I am now exclusively stocking some of their catalogue. Most recent album Origins which is only available otherwise from the band direct, is a particular highlight. Thanks to the guys for giving me the opportunity.

This is why we say KEEP MUSIC PHYSICAL but we’re never going to fully get back to that world so also there’s a need to pay musicians properly for streaming.

Hello folks! Thought I'd see how it all is over here. Slowly starting to find all the good folks who I was following/who were following me over on the other side. Might take a while! There will be birds, moths, maybe a bit of music. Much like it was before. Here's a hybrid PBB x DBB to get started 😁
