I wrote some wordage about the new Birds of Argentina for @ABA Birding magazine. Hopefully said wordage will entice you to come bird this mega diverse land. Props to the authors & artists; it’s excellent. 👍🏽🐦 🇦🇷 #Birds #Birding #Bookreview aba.org/arrival-of-the…

@GibsonTomgibo Have exact opposite on my patch. It’s returned to the same thicket belting it out the last few years & we have one of the mist nets about 8 feet from it (not intentional, just a CES site) & we have never! had it in the net. Whereas I’ve ringed quite a few in Spain on territory🤷🏻‍♂️

Not all Nightingales are skulkers. This guy sat right in the open singing his heart out.

@MichaelAArouet You’re right. I’ve lived on both sides of the pond for a long time. So why are Yanks always complaining about things being expensive. They’re not. My apartment in Manhattan is cheaper than my apartment in Madrid. Congratulations now stop whining. 👏

This chart makes me laugh every time I see it. The UK, France and Italy are poorer than the poorest US state, Mississippi. Canada and Germany are poorer than the second-poorest US state. The gap will widen. And don’t come with “free healthcare.” You pay for it with absurd taxes

@TRGScott @britishbirds @GrahamDenny9 @MoorlandAssoc @DeeWardRottal Notwithstanding the lack of landowner effort and education, the right kind of land management and habitat heterogeneity for nests (with some supplementary predator control) does work though:

@britishbirds Predation is the largest driver of Breeding failure of #Curlews, mostly (but by no means all) by Carrion Crows and Foxes taking eggs & chicks. @GrahamDenny9 @MoorlandAssoc @DeeWardRottal

Eurasian Curlew has declined sharply across the UK and Ireland, driven primarily by sustained breeding failure rather than adult mortality. Ultimately, the future of the Curlew reflects wider choices about land use & biodiversity. Read more: britishbirds.co.uk/journal/articl… 📸Beth Clyne

@HujanisHosting @benonwine More damaging than Brexit? Are you insane. 🤣

@benonwine None of them are any better than the other. Boris created the cost of living crisis, which has been far more damaging to our economy than anything.

Do you believe Boris Johnson was a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer?

@benonwine If it wasn’t for Brexit then yes. But all fuck-ups in the future history of the world will pale in comparison to the self-sanctioning fuck-up that was Brexit. And that’s on Boris (well and David Teflon Cameron).

Name a city without letter E Can you?

@WhiteHouse This a Superbowl commercial. 👏

This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the STRENGTH and MIGHT of the United States Armed Forces.

Don’t worry AI won’t take your job, it is trying to convince me that a cerceta pardilla is a gargeney. It’s not. The only similarity is they’re both ducks.

@GibsonTomgibo I got a graphic warning cover before it allowed me to click to see what it was. Quite tame to be X rated ;)

Fresh blood on a plucking post and another one 20 meters away

Russian White-fronted Geese getting feisty. This winter has been a good year for them. (Unlike other things from Russia) #birding

@James_R_Martin @FabianPicardo @FCDOGovUK @DavidLammy @SDoughtyMP @GibraltarGov Unless you live permanently on Gibraltar your time spent there counts towards days spent inside Schengen.

@FabianPicardo @FCDOGovUK @DavidLammy @SDoughtyMP @GibraltarGov Under this deal (1) Can British Citizens be denied entry into Gibraltar by Schengen border guards and (2) Is time British citizens spend in Gibraltar now constrained by the Schenghen limit for spending more than 90 days in every 180 days in the Schenghen area?

Working in partnership with the UK, #Gibraltar's prosperous, British future is assured. Today is a demonstration of that. 🇬🇮🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK @DavidLammy @SDoughtyMP @GibraltarGov

@_RotasCadenas_ @FabianWaldman Tenés razón.

@FabianWaldman No existe gente más boluda que los norteamericanos. Son de lo más ignorantes del mundo.

Los asesinos de ICE que mataron a Pretti fueron identificados: se trata de Raymundo Gutierrez y Jesus Ochoa. Y no es broma. propublica.org/article/alex-p…

In a remarkable story from Slovenia, a breeding pair of White Wagtails travelled all over the country in a lorry last summer, successfully raising young: bit.ly/4a4tKVG

@REDIAM_Oficial el paraje del Guadalhorce ya volvió a abrir de lunes a viernes o aún se mantiene cerrado por el tema de las obras? Hay poca información en las páginas de Málaga… 🙏

@_imey @sciencegirl Where the fuck do you think you came from?

@sciencegirl So why the fuck are they all coming to live in my country

This is the true size of Africa

One of those days when the only thin band of rain in the entire country is slowly moving over you. No big deal if you have feathers though. Smew, unusually showy Cetti’s, & best of all got home in time to find a Firecrest in the garden😃 Rain is your friend, sometimes. ☔️#birding

@sundaram_anant @ianbremmer You forgot your humour module too? 🙄

@ianbremmer Sorry, but is your (seemingly snide-sounding) suggestion that a strategically-placed land mass that is about one-quarter of the size of the US not relevant to the discussion?

can somebody show president trump the actual size of greenland?

@grok @cjohan247 @ianbremmer @NewReaganCaucus @grok you seem to be missing the humour module, correct?

@cjohan247 @ianbremmer @NewReaganCaucus Yes, it appears to be a straw man. Trump's stated reasons for interest in Greenland focus on national security, strategic location, and resources, not its apparent size on maps. Bremmer's post misrepresents that position by implying a misconception about size due to projections.

@SildidInfo @ianbremmer And Brasíl if you get rid of Hawaii and a couple of Aleutian Islands.

@ianbremmer dont show him that - Australia is bigger than the US
