If it's of any interest there was a white Jackdaw amongst a group of six in horse fields adjacent to Lascelles Hall Road HD 5 this afternoon at 15:45.

On holiday in Sweden, first image, Merlin birdsong recognition app, first recording of garden this a.m. whilst I hang washing! Second image, text of two days walking/ cycling from base.

@hisjlm Thanks for the recommendation. I only downloaded the app yesterday so these are birds in our garden in the last 30 mins. I am cheating a little as we're currently in Sweden. In 2 years have recorded 39 species in/ from garden.

The Merlin bird song app is addictive. Here are all the birds I heard this morning on old mount road, Marsden 😊

@hisjlm @HuddsLocalHist @SbonesTompaine Very enjoyable and informative evening with one or two surprises regarding Suffragette activities.

Looking forward to hearing how historical graphic novels are put together in a double act between Robert Poole and the legendary Polyp tonight at the University of Huddersfield. FREE EVENT Thttps://www.huddersfieldhistory.org.uk/event/29apr2024/ @HuddsLocalHist @SbonesTompaine

This is a really thought-provoking piece How Big #Oil is manipulating the way you think about #ClimateChange "A logic professor explains how a persistent, subtle fallacy has infected public discussion of climate change" #ClimateCrisis #EnergyTransition salon.com/2023/05/13/how…

@NewWaveAndPunk Both this and Monkey Spanner always evoque memories of the local fun fair in Bradford as a 12 year old standing by the Speedway ride. Magical! Lifelong love of reggae followed.

On this day in 1971, Dave and Ansel Collins were at Number One in the UK singles chart with Double Barrel. youtu.be/UQNPiUuU58Y

@hisjlm @StudyLabHistory @HuddsLocalHist Enjoyed the lecture very much. This morning whilst walking my son’s dogs on the Luddite Trail in the Spen Valley and passing the site of Rawfolds Mill, I recalled Nick’s comments regarding soldier disciplined for failing to shoot on the attackers that fateful night.

Cracking Luddite lecture by Prof Nick Mansfield on soldiers & ex-servicemen in early nineteenth-century popular politics. Note the customary pose with Enoch's hammer! @StudyLabHistory @HuddsLocalHist

@TUC_Library @StudyLabHistory @BFAWUOfficial @The_TUC @GaryLineker Looks more like Norman Willis.

Friday surprise! Just sorting through our copies of @BFAWUOfficial magazine “Food Worker” and surprised to see Gary Lineker helping Lord John Monks at the launch of @the_TUC’s credit card scheme in August 1990. What a star!

@KirkleesGroup Spen Valley Greenway?

What an amazing find yesterday 🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️

Tomorrow @RishiSunak will launch an all out attack on the right to strike. RT if you stand with every single union that chooses to make a stand and fight on behalf of their members. It’s time to pick a side.

I ASK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TWEET TO PLEASE RT IT. Tomorrow nurses strike. They will be put through hell by the media, politicians and the establishment. Ahead of the action please share this tweet if you back the nurses and find it sickening that they are being vilified.

It’s freezing. Postal workers are under more pressure than ever. They are struggling financially. They are on strike again tomorrow. Royal Mail are attempting to destroy their terms, conditions and the service they provide. RT this if you stand with them. #StandByYourPost

@jpdewhirst I and Royal Mail colleagues used to drive mail vans down there from the old Bradford Sorting Office (opposite Mc Donald's site now) in the late 1970’s with mail for the trains to all points of the UK. It never looked quite so romantic!

The arches of Cheapside #Bradford #filmphotography #urbanphotography

WE NEED ALL OF YOU TO RT THIS AND FOLLOW US Postal workers are under unbelievable pressure but they refuse to give up They strike tomorrow and Thursday to save their jobs and the service RT this if you back them Follow @CWUnews if you back their union #StandByYourPost

The lines are drawn RT if you are with the striking nurses, posties, telecom workers, rail workers, civil servants, lecturers, teachers and call centre workers RT if you are sick and tired of all workers being told no as profits, dividends and CEO pay spiral Enough is Enough

@Hudds_BWC After seeing a Little Egret in Ox Field Beck between Beaumont Arms and Lascelles Hall Road, Kirkheaton on Saturday little did I expect a repeat, this time two birds today at 07:30.

#hudds_BWC Little Egret seen in Ox Field Beck between Beaumont Arms and Lascelles Hall Road at 13:30 today. Smart phone distant zoom image not so smart! Yellow feet clearly visible when it flew off west.

Today Royal Mail declared war on your local postie. Ripping up terms and conditions, coming for the union and destroying the service. Still our members will not bow down. RT if you stand with your postal worker and will back them whatever it takes. #StandByYourPost

Now please if everyone retweets this it would be very childish, I like childish !
