@YankeeGunner I was just thinking about a technician playing deeper setting the tempo and pulling the strings, but an internal solution. Rice well documented as not the best in that role in a possession side. Essentially what we had Zubi down as before the form/fatigue issues

@ElRimmo I think rice at 6, odegaard and eze at 8. Odegaard can form a double pivot if needed

@YankeeGunner thoughts on Odegaard at 6 in games we're expected to control possession? Can drop deep and tempo-set all he likes, Rice provides the muscle and support, and leaves room for a higher creative presence in the R8/10

Please help to stop the next development shitstorm. Once again threatening Swanscombe Marshes and the boating club you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save…

@piersmorgan I've long wondered are you slow and thick or just say this kind of faux outrage for rage bait and clicks? We all know what's going on with incomings

No, and it’s driving me nuts.

Oare today, 69 bird sp in 4 hours. GWE, Hobby, Usual Waders & Warblers, plenty of Marsh Frogs, Grass Snake + Barn Owls early doors. GSW nice surprise, Seals on Sheppey side, Terns on Swale. Wall Lizard down the road at Ospringe

Also, why do all mats these days have moulded plugs. Trying to get a replacement but how am I supposed to fit a whole plug through a tiny escape-proof hole

Word to the wise for any reptile keepers. Probe for mat stat had fallen out of the viv unnoticed, starts reading air temperature and not the heat mat, resulting in a lot of burnt bedding, a ruined viv, fucked mat and one very lucky snake to be totally unharmed.

4 Adder this morning in Gillingham. Caught the melanistic in the same spot last year so assuming the same individual. Winter wildfowl and waders still hanging on + good assortment of commoner raptor species

Misty and drizzly afternoon at Swanscombe, quiet as expected. Jack Snipe the highlight with Water Rail, Bearded Tits, a very brave Chiff, Sprawk and a big flock of Blackwits always nice to see. Fleeting Grey Wagtail also a nice bonus

Yesterday at Swanscombe SSSI, good assortment of ducks and waders, always nice to see Lapwing on site and Green Sand a nice bonus. Snipe flock at least 40. Surprise Barn Owl and the world's worst record shot 😂 M Harrier, Peregrine, Bearded Tit, Chiff the best of the rest

Nice couple of hours earlier at Swanscombe SSSI. 9 Snipe, 1 Jack, Raven, Bearded Tits, weirdly zero Raptors, lots Stonechat, poss Water Pipit but couldn't 100% it before lost the bugger, Seal on Thames and no photos worth posting 😂😂

Nice morning in the Shellness area. Hen Harrier, Black Redstart, WF Geese, assortment of waders, wildfowl and raptors. Visibility scuppered any hope of a sea watch though and couldn't find a cheeky Snow Bunting

@gibbard_crisis Little Egret. Nought special, did just find a Blackstart on the sea wall though!

@ElRimmo what was the 1st.

2nd bird I get the scope on, male Hen Harrier out of roost Swale NNR 🥳

@gibbard_crisis Heard some Divers on the sea in the area might have to be there! Always a half decent chance of Hen Harrier too

@ElRimmo wfronts back at swale nnr good chance of purple sand shellness or rare grebe ?

Child free morning Thursday means birding time! What's good in North Kent right now?

@gibbard_crisis All my usual spots! Heard of anything especially good about at the moment? Was thinking chancing Oare or Shellness

@ElRimmo all depends on time you have cliffe. grain Cp surrounding areas funton creek capel fleet swale nnr shellness to name a few.

@PicturesFoIder @bekahh_ashby

The perfect execution

Presumably migrating Hobby over the house, garden tick gold!

We used to say Brexit was like watching your local library being burned down by people who can’t read and now it has actually happened.
