Preparations for racing at the sailing school in Getxo.

One of the 3 whimbrels that didn't continue their migration with the rest in spring & have stuck around here all summer was preening on the sea front in Getxo this morning. I hope it didn't try to eat that old fishing lure at its feet. #birds

The little egret had a very successful morning: I saw it catch at least 3 small fish (though the third is almost too small to see). #birds

The same little egret practising for its audition for the next Batman film. #birds

Well that's my Xmas card design for this year sorted out. Robin of the day in Getxo this morning. #birds

The ad breaks on YouTube are getting absolutely ridiculous: one has just popped up in the middle of a blues guitar backing track I was playing along to.

This morning I was obviously still more than half asleep, as I posted a #lunchpun from my drafts folder instead of the usual #UxbridgeEnglishDictionary entry. Here’s what I actually meant to post: CELERY: Resembling a basement.

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay I’m going with the alt theme of #Green background: here’s a goldfinch eating dandelion seeds.

Wedding planners are the only event organisers who actually want there to be a hitch in their projects. #LunchPun

I got into a fight with the hardware store manager because the rope he sold me came unraveled. In the end we were both arrested for affray. #LunchPun

I also have White Coat Syndrome & need my bp taken 3 times for accuracy. 😱🫨🫤🩸

Today's #BirdoftheDay ALT theme is #Brown. I think this beautiful tricolored heron fits nicely. Especially with the warm golden light from sunrise flooding across the pond. I made many images of this stunning avian. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #herons #conservation #nature

I am writing a book about all the things I should be doing in my life. It's an oughtobiography.
