Here's a pair of Lesser Black Backed Gulls, which cover the Alt Theme from Today's #BirdOfTheDay which is 'Gulls. I'm off to sort through some more of last weeks photos, i will be be back later to go through more of today's contributions. #birds #ECK #CanonR5mkii #photography @rspb.bsky.social

Now then here's Liam & Lora Lesser Black Backed Gulls having a bit of a dispute, what happened was Liam stayed at the pub for an extra pint but Lora took offence to that and threw his tea in the bin. She also gave him plenty of earache in the process, and to his credit Liam just stood there and let it all go straight over his head. Captured at The Moors section of the Christopher Cadbury Wetlands Reserve at Upton Warren.

Colin & Carly Canada Geese out for an evening flight, their aim was to find a quiet place to land and get on with the business of making Goslings. Captured at RSPB Otmoor, Oxfordshire.

🧪Our paper is on the cover of @nature.com today! We discovered a brand new kind of signal in space--a supernova that chirped! We tied the signal back to the birth of a magnetar deep below the supernova, powering it from within. Read the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Lense–Thirring precessing magnetar engine drives a superluminous supernova - Nature

Observations of a nearby type I superluminous supernova showing oscillating light-curve bumps provide evidence of a centrally located magnetar in the wake of the explosion, surrounded by an infalling ...

Supernovae are bright. This one is EXTRA bright. Why?! It's hard to study what's behind these super-bright cosmic explosions, but a wobble in the signal from this one gave it away🧪🔭 Here's the story from me with funky 90s graphics from the fab @danjfox.bsky.social With🙏to @drjrfarah.bsky.social
