I know Peter from my visits to St Aidan's near Leeds. He's out birding in all weathers and is an inspiration. Important work he's doing and this is well worth a watch.

Flew my first loops and barrel rolls in 20 yrs, pulling 3g with my mate in his RV-7. We started our RAF training together 37 yrs ago.

It's grim up North.

If you've ever cringed watching dense "celebrities" on this show you'll agree that axing it will be a blessing.

I used the rowing machine in the gym today. Norway's football fans and watching the Odyssey have clearly had a subliminal influence on me.

The Sun doesn't really set, the Earth's rotation moves it out of view whilst our planet is also orbiting the Sun with it's axis tilted at 23 degrees to the orbital plane. #astronomy

In a bird hide you normally look at the birds outside through the openings. There are exceptions to every rule.

Visited St Wendreda's church today after listening to the Harrier Angels (below) a few months ago. 118 angels with Marsh Harrier wings and a rare double hammerbeam roof. An amazing sight and well worth the detour. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

A night of solar related science topics ahead organised by @quantum-sauce.bsky.social sat under the glow of Helios a 6m diameter representation of our Sun. wxwakefield.co.uk/Whats-On/Det...

The solitary and leaf cutter #bees are doing a "Damien Hurst" this year.

Blakey ridge with purple heather trimming was superb but seeing #swifts flying in the small #Yorkshire villages were the highlights of today's 🏍 ride.

New art in our kitchen. Impactful but counterproductive.

Manx shearwaters are one of my favourite seabirds. I mean, c'mon; those cute little faces! We got these great views from the ferry to Islay recently #superseabirdsunday #seabirds #shearwaters

As a raptor geek an Eagle trumps three lions any day. I'm Manx 🇮🇲 not English.
