Southern Ground Hornbill is one of the world's largest hornbills, roaming the grasslands and woodlands of Africa. Living in cooperative family groups, working together to hunt snakes, lizards, insects, small mammals, and other prey on the ground. Their booming calls can carry for kilometers.

It’s the worst feeling when you’re completely defenseless, and russia keeps attacking civilian targets across Kyiv nonstop. Last night, not a single ballistic missile was intercepted. russia launched 24 ballistic missiles, 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles, and 115 drones.

One week today, something rather special happens. On 12 August the Moon passes in front of the Sun and gives the UK its deepest eclipse since 1999. Then that same Moon leaves the sky completely dark — right as the Perseids peak. Same Moon. Two shows. One day. #meteorwatch www.nightskyshow.co.uk
They all are utterly clueless. The French rearguard helped many thousands of British troops escape from Dunkirk in 1940. How do I know this? My dad was one the 300,000+ saved. Had they not stood firm I may not be writing this and many of them died in doing so. She’s a disgusting example of humanity.

Not surprised to see the leader of the Conservatives being so dismissive about the very important role of local councillors btw, it’s her party that systematically attempted to destroy local government and all that it does

I hate this so much. Farage said this would be immigration week, and here are all the headlines talking immigration, and not positively. Could someone in power, for once, just stand up to this shit 🤬
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
