If your interests include photography and or the Apollo missions then this is for you. I attended Andy's talk in Southwark Cathedral which was a great insight into his work. This is sure to be a fascinating deep dive. #Bradford2025 #photography #Apollo

If you want a laugh, check out Yorkshire Dales Moorland Group 🤡🤡 on FB🤣. A grouse moor propaganda machine creating a huge smokescreen to hide rampant #raptor persecution on our moorlands. They love waders because they're not a threat to grouse numbers.

She is the 2nd hen harrier to 'disappear' in suspicious circumstances in this area & the 134th missing/killed hen harrier in the UK since 2018 (that we know of - there'll be many others, untagged, that have been shot & stamped into the peat). #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/02/20/s...

The vortex ruffling the mantle and scapulars indicates the wings are stalled inboard, dumping lift to facilitate the landing. Meanwhile the extended alulas maintain some lift and control of the outboard wing section.(by re-energising the airflow) Someone knows me too well! 😍 #birds #aerodynamics

The goshawks of the N Yorkshire Forest Park were very obliging this morning on my annual pilgrimage. 6 seen as well as 2 mixing it in a kettle of 6 buzzards. Guessing I've beaten @birdingdad.bsky.social this year who was my motivation a year ago but he's not back in the N hemisphere yet!
