@HughieKing Got mine a couple of years ago in Chester.

Brief views of the Yellow Browed Warbler at Westport Lake Stoke followed by a Lifer at the Whippet Inn, Wolstanton.

@BillyS2401 @Pauline04023347 A bit bewildering why an out of sorts Murray, who was never going to win any aerial duals in what was a game of head tennis, wasn't replaced by Fin Shrimpton.

@Pauline04023347 @ChesterFC We were terrible Pauline, Weeks out of touch, Murray not a patch from Tuesday. Both out fought in Midfield by a team that have learnt the dirty art of the game, hoof ball all game…Bainbridge only midfielder winning anything, Leak not a RB Positive, Arthur had a solid game.

Listening to SealsLive. Wondering where our 12th Man Harry Mac @ChesterFC fans are today?? Can hear a pin drop??? 😢

@artinsociety Decent likeness that!

The invention of photography had major impacts on art. Some artists imitated photographic effects. Others deliberately differentiated their works from the “diabolical invention” ~ compare Van Gogh’s portrait of Eugene Boch, & a photo of him artinsociety.com/pt-1-initial-i…

Lifer Shrewsbury Arms Stafford.

@MOTHIDUK iNaturalist not confident enough to ID this one at NT Erddig Hall. Any suggestions?

@LBFlyawayhome For once, this illustration is accurate. When I was a kid the buddleia in the garden was literally covered with butterflies like this. All three Whites, Peacock, Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, Comma plus Wall on the pavement!

“The privet bush in blossom” Artist: CF Tunnicliffe (What to Look for in Summer, 1960)

The Woodcock, Cockshutt, Shropshire. That pub sign's a lifer and it would be if I listed pub bird cushions which I don't. I do paintings though so this lovely Red Kite counts.

Not sure you'd find a live Water Rail anywhere in Upper Teesdale but this one at the High Force Hotel is a stuffed lifer for me.

@HughieKing Oh come on! You can't count that Cuckoo!

Couple of recent Lifers. Red Kite at the Black Country Arms, Walsall & Cuckoo at The Bridge Inn, Kingswinford. Artistic License needed for both. Especially the Cuckoo!! 😊

A fabulous set of ten beer mats featuring Birds of the North Pennines as seen at the Langdon Beck Hotel in Upper Teesdale.

@birdsandbeer I knew I'd seen them!!!

@RealAlePubBirds Spotted in the gents by sinks

Not done much pub bird spotting lately but noticed a trio of year ticks Morris Dancer,Kelsall. Not been here in years,first visited mid 70s when it was the Globe.

@LBFlyawayhome Wish the skies were that busy with hirundines now. Rarely hear a Swift these days let alone see one.

Swift, House Martin, Swallow Artist: John Leigh-Pemberton (1967)

@longvictorian2 Has she been flicking through copies of Wisden?

Afternoon on the Terrace by Vittorio Matteo Corcos (Italian artist, lived 1859-1933). 'Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.' - Henry James. #Summer

@PeteKinsella2 @tanyptera Two years and a bit down the line, is this a pair of them (in flagrante delicto) at Gronant yesterday? I'm desperate for an ID!

My first Hairy Sand Wasp, Podalonia hirsuta, of the Spring was in the dunes at Crosby Marine Park, Merseyside, this afternoon @tanyptera #wasps

@GBG_Kent Jammy sod!!!

Always blessed to visit the Bell, Aldworth, Berks’ again. What a lovely pub. A pint of Indigenous Baldrick mild and a salt beef roll.

@SQUAWKBrewingCo Damn shame. Thoroughly enjoyed your beers as well as your pump clips. Was hoping a Wood Warbler might have appeared one day.

A message from Squawk HQ The end is nigh! We’re hanging up our boots and laying to rest our mash shovel. To cut a long story short our landlord needs to chuck us out for a few weeks for maintenance. 1/4

@JCSvenning Such a shame. Whose is the painting?

Next time you look at the wonderful North Sea, think about that it until very recently harbored lots of grey #whales & North Atlantic right whales (plus other big whales), as this recent study shows royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…🐳🐋 #whaling #extinction #emptyocean #northsea #vesterhav

Nice Quail, Golden Plover and Jay at the Golden Lion, Settle.
