wouldn’t mind a look at the Norfolk Black-winged Kite but got much Stella and cheese in the fridge at the moment to get through, had a look through old pics and found these of a juv from Morocco March 2019 #birds #cheese

@Evanis 296 gtb Ferrari, expensive too 😀

Stumbling across interesting cars in the Algarve

@OleTimeHardball the term ‘mutually assured destruction’ was probably coined from this round of boxing 🥊

Round 1 of Hagler vs Hearns remains unrivaled

a fine morning at #hornseamere with the 7 Glossy Ibis feeding on the Mere until they left south at 07:50, nice selection and numbers of waders with Ruff seemingly everywhere, Caspian Gull, Wheatear and 2+ Whinchat

@kit_geek @museumofjerseys Edberg had some good stuff late 80’s early 90’s some great shoes too..

Wimbledon kicks off today.... some of the classic looks from over the years, amazing how Wimbledon's dress code of players wearing predominantly white clothing can work so well, one of the little sports kits traditions I enjoy! Any other classic looks I've missed?

joining the likes of Great Northern Diver and Long-tailed Skua as recent past bonkers June #hornseamere records, Manx Shearwater off KP this morning! #birds #eastyorkshire

@DaleHornsea Looks like it’s been fishing in Strawberry Gardens pond Dale 👌😀

Hornsea Mere, Osprey south west at 8.35, plus 8 Little Gulls on the mere..

@GrimstonBirder only rumours, it’s the getting there (and back) that counts, besides first mate usually does the navigation in my boats 😜
