@EdBirder Yeah looks like a classic liquidity sweep. You thinking it was intentional move or just volatility doing its thing

@EdBirder @SurreyBirdNews Well done and lucky you. So jealous that I’m not out and about.

If I kept only one recording of
#JSBach's Brandenburg Ctos it would be…
Karajan/BPO
Amzn: amzn.to/47ySsgk
Ah, nothing says "Bach" quite like Karajan. Gorgeously smooth textures, stately tempi & the master himself @ something resembling a harpsichord.

Birding highlights of 2025 were mainly finding Little Bunting and a couple of Siberian Chiffchaffs on local patch. Also great to have a Corn Bunting there too #birdsseenin2025

Witnessed something incredible at the Amsterdam train station yesterday
Fat and loud American tourist was trying to buy a water bottle for €4.50
Threw a €5 bill on the counter and started walking away
""Keep the change man" said in a typical annoying Californian accent
"We don't do tips here. This isn't America" cashier responded
The American tried to leave again but luckily security blocked the exit
"You didn't get your receipt for tax purposes"
"What?"
Store manager appeared with a form
"Did you attempt to give our cashier extra money?"
"That's unreported income. He has to declare it now. Pay social contributions. It becomes €0.24 after tax"
The American was baffled
"Bro but in the US—"
"In the US, workers beg for tips because they're underpaid. Here, we pay living wages" manager swiftly interrupted him
They made him take his €0.50 back and quickly filed an incident report for "attempted tax circumvention"
This is what a properly functioning society looks like

@EdBirder @SurreyBirdNews When I turned right out of the car park I saw no green gate. Assuming this is the spot. From here facing the car park where do I go exactly? And how far is the green gate from this point?
