Field studies of Avocets at a superb looking @Barnsleybsg @RSPB_OldMoor Wombwell Ings this morning. Been trying to nail these birds for years! I think there's a bit of improvement here, but It's probably futile to think I'll ever get 'em right! Cheers

The full list is here! birdhistory.substack.com/p/the-100-grea…

Can you believe this fucking clown is in there demanding more money for foreign aid 🤬 WTF is wrong with these people? CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME YOU MUG!

@BarnsleyFC No great loss. I think it was called Jobs For The Boys.

Barnsley Football Club can confirm that Richard Keogh has departed Oakwell. We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Richard for his professionalism, dedication, and hard work during his time at Oakwell, and wishes him and his family every success in the future. ➡️ bit.ly/4uYtyjC

@SteveR418531118 @Barnsleybsg Cheers Steve 👍

@RussBoland @Barnsleybsg Cracking stuff as always Russ!

A couple of passerine efforts from a recent visit to @Barnsleybsg Wharncliffe Chase. Stonechat, Willow Warbler and a very showy male Redstart. I obviously need to work on songbirds but the brevity of sightings makes them a huge challenge! Cheers

Curlews are teaching us so much about ourselves, society, the way we treat nature. I hope we listen before it is too late. Thank you to everyone who supports my work and who are always there. It is genuinely humbling to know you, even if through this strange online world.🙏🫂🙏

@GaryCla82665078 @Barnsleybsg Thanks 👍

@RussBoland @Barnsleybsg Always a treat to see your work.

@KateMonogamish There wouldn't be anything lazy about it tho. 😛

Care to join me for a lazy morning coffee?

Posting this again as it is nesting time. Dogs on leads near breeding areas - PLEASE 🙏🙏

Right, that's me ready for my digital ID photo.

Oh here we go, a director of South Wast Water. responsible for overseeing fat cat salaries and bonuses also runs a business offering "aura cleansing and crystal healing using techniques 'passed down through a 3,000-year-old lineage'." Who in the hell appoints these people, @NatWestGroup any ideas? thetimes.com/business/compa…

@davidsaleh13 Cheers David!👍

@RussBoland Keep them coming Russell, it’s great to see your work, rather than edited photos 👍

Field studies of Woodchat Shrikes in Kefalonia recently. The most familiar migrant breeding passerine I came across. Not sure how many folk are still interested in this stuff but thanks for looking anyway! Cheers

A student from India who does not hold British citizenship and is here on a temporary visa has just been elected to the Scottish parliament to serve a four-year term (salary £80,000 per year). How in God’s name can something like this be allowed to happen? Our democracy is sick.

@dougokane88 I'll give you a concise review. Shite.
