First birds of my day: a lone Robin atop the garden fence, a trio of Herring Gull noisily circling overhead in the grey cloudy sky, and a pair of Red Kite, floating on the air currents. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #UKBirding

Young floofster (left) looks as if he's just realised what will happen if someone turns on the agricultural sprinklers and he doesn't fly! 🤭🦉💙

Fraser is one foot away from a serious breakthrough on the road to personal growth.
Hey #BookSky 💙📚 I don't know about you, but I am very ready for a collection of radical essays on walking by ten award winning *women* writers, instead of the usual men. I think this will be a joyous read. (Wonder if the library's ordered a copy as I requested.)
Kerri Andrews@kerriandrewsuk.bsky.social · 14h agoWomen, Walking publishes tomorrow with Batsford Books. I’m really proud of the collection of work inside it. I’d like to offer a copy to someone to mark publication day. To enter, please share this skeet by midnight tomorrow, and tell me why you’d like it, or who you’d like to give it to and why.
I really fucking hate it when I'm trying to explain my situation to someone and they just bloody interrupt and talk over me. How can I give you the fucking info you want if you Do. Not. Listen? (And 99% of the time it's man, because of course it is. They suffer from Interruptitis! #NotAllMen)

The temp in my room is going down by half degrees in spite of the sun thanks to the breeze.
Oh Snowy, you gorgeous, beautiful bird. 🦉💙

Resharing a common bronzewing I drew earlier this year for today's #AvianAugust! Too beautiful of a bird not to share again. It's worth looking up images of this bird... the way the light shimmers on the colors on their wings is really something! #BirdArt
Floofster who's prepared to look at things from a different angle. 🦉💙

Just found out that the bid I placed on the ground floor council flat not too far from where I used to live in Oxford was unsuccessful, despite being told that being 3 on the list of 3 was a good thing. I am thoroughly *unsurprised* by this information.
For gods' sakes, it wasn't a plan to stop the boats, it was simply a clickbait generating announcement that attempted to distract from his/Reform's ongoing scandals.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 2d agoRelated: “With perhaps a quarter of the electorate, this sort of thing goes down well. In Farage they find a tribune who expresses their pain. But among a somewhat larger proportion of the electorate, including many on the Right, the joke has palled, or was never all that funny in the first place.”
I absolutely knew today's cover announcement was going to be for the next Green Man book from @julietemckenna.bsky.social! Don't ask me how I knew, I just did. Start getting excited #BookSky 💙📚
Wizard's Tower Press@wtpress.bsky.social · 2d agoHere it is, folks: Ben Baldwin's classic cover for The Green Man's Debt. Pre-orders will start to open in a day or two. The book will be available on September 10th.

Shocking. There's nothing shocking about a rise in racism when everyone from MSM and the actual bloody Government perpetuates a myth of immigrants invading the blody country.

A new find-the-tiny-silver-owl photo for you. It’s also worth zooming in for the silver cast I’ve made of a tiny feather, acorn, oak leaf & larch cone, a miniscule piece of coral, a pyritised ammonite & to see the design on the Victorian brooch I’m going to convert into a pendant…
Walked out onto the street to find a Thames Valley Police car on the pavement and am now wondering if that's what the hammering at the door and shouting was about as I was getting ready to go out.
