That’s my #BigGardenBirdWatch for 2026 - 4 Blue Tits, 4 pigeons, 3 Goldfinches, 2 each of Chaffinch, Coal Tit, Great Tit & Blackbird, and 1 each of Wood Pigeon, Robin & LTT. A bit disappointed with the Goldfinches because I had at least 8 of them in the garden earlier this week!

My highlights of 2025. It was a very memorable year!

Goosanders in Pickering Park, Hull this morning.

@wildflower_hour Thank you!

@HBovill A wonderful collection of finds Helen!

Better late than never! Hogweed, dandelion, male & female hazel catkins, buttercups, wood avens, lesser celandine, feverfew, smooth sow-thistle, tansy and hedge mustard all seen in Hull today. Forsythia, bramble, musk mallow and snowdrops also in flower. #Wildflowerhour

I’ve been writing a monthly wildlife report for my local cemetery group for a few years now. Here’s my latest one - cemeteries are great places for wildlife! friendsofhullgeneralcemetery.com/news-events/ce…

Autumn in Hull.

@Gmackematix It's happened before - Led Zeppelin's song "Houses of the Holy" wasn't on their album of the same name. It was on "Physical Graffiti". There was another example too which I can't remember. #TOTP

Weirdly, his first solo album was called World Shut Your Mouth...and this song doesn't appear on it. #TOTP

@dwaynepipe4eva THAT’S what it was! Yes!

Anyone else think this sounds like As Tears Go By? #totp

@KateSullivan01 Oh wow Kate - THIS is the project you mentioned a while ago! Congratulations - I’ll be watching it later tonight!

V proud to have done the titles & ad-bumpers for this amazing show! Actually Mitchell & Webb did help a bit ideas-wise, and prod. Gareth Edwards, too. Hope u like! #mitchellandwebbarenothelping #mitchellandwebb #ukanimation #goldenretreiver

Mejiro or Japanese White-eye in Yokohama a few days ago. The parks in this city are surprisingly good for birdwatching, although I suspect the 10 different species I saw in Yokohama Park were just common ones seen throughout the country.

My highlights of 2024 - better late than never! What a year it’s been, with some things that were not even on my radar this time last year! I wonder what 2025 will bring?

@Request90s And Understanding Jane by the Icicle Works - GREAT tune!

There are a lot of Jane songs - Lady Jane, Baby Jane, Jane, Jane Says and Zoe Jane. #TOTP

Chaffinch in the rain.

Animals in War. They had no choice. #Remembrance

Great show by Steve @HackettOfficial and his brilliant band at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall tonight. Plus a lovely surprise - Steve’s brother John made a guest appearance to play flute for a couple of songs. Another wonderful night!
