1/2 Wren Nest-Building It takes a while to get the camera set-up correctly - with an add-on lens the distance has to be millimetre perfect. The male has several entry points to the log shed - this is the one he's mainly using currently. He always pauses for a fraction of a sec to check for danger.

As I looked out the window first thing - water pouring-off the field, overwhelming the drain at the gate, & coming into the garden. Some of it made its way under the door and into the kitchen. The number of times this is happening is increasing exponentially. #climatechange ?where will it end?

Once I heard the name Gerrit Plomp, I could never forget it. It sounds like the sort of thing the Football Men shout on cold Yorkshire touchlines on Sunday mornings along with 'put it in the mixer', 'second ball!' and 'Carlton, we're losing the shape...' 'Come on lads, gerrit plomp!'

I like to imagine that in years to come, today’s kids of Kingston might recall this as a fever dream, much as we young Brummies did of what we can now, thanks to Robert Lloyd and Stewart Lee call the ‘King Rocker’ statue. #kingrocker

I’m off to paint a window in Waterstones. Let’s hope they’re expecting me and this doesn’t become a police matter again.

there are protests everywhere, every week since trump was elected, in most major cities. none of them are covered on the news, so to you, and other outside observers, they never happened.

Despite all their money and all their vanity, Musk and Trump both look absolutely ghastly. I suppose it's all the inner hate showing through.

To anyone else a poor quallity video still of a Fox, to me major excitement. This is Light Eyes who disappeared nearly a year ago. I assumed the worst as she was rarely far from Vixen's side (her mum), they brought up multiple cubs together. Wish I knew where she has been but am so happy to see her.

English Bluebell seeds are sown by the wind, & is why where is such an even scattering over our woodland floor You did get gaps which we fill by tapping the seed pods when open to collect & sow manually But then we get groupings like these occasionally. Anyone know why?

Be careful who we blame for the destruction and pain that is about to happen. While Musk is doing the dirty work, it is Felon giving him all the authority and power to do so. He doesn’t want to be associated if it all goes to hell, but WE know. Trump is the villain in all this!! #ProudBlue

Naively, I hope the Trump Gaza AI ad is some sort of breaking point. Politics aside, it’s the graphic equivalent of driving a Tesla. People maybe become repelled from something because, regardless of how clever or shiny it is, it becomes associated with arseholes. That’s the brand.

Maybe Trump's not the dumbest person in the Green House (White House renamed to comply with new Google maps guidelines). Doh....

i firmly believe one of the main messages we should be telling our students about this whole thing is that generative ‘AI’ by definition will never have an original idea, and if you use it, neither will you

If the stakes weren’t so high, the contortions & humiliations of all the people who cheered this in & sneered about ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ etc would be absolutely hilarious.

Do you have some @book_tokens to hand? 'cos if you use them in an indie bookshop before the end of February, and then go to their website, you could win £500! And yeah, you can use them on our website, and it counts. AND then we send the book to you, for FREE

Just when you thought the madness might have peaked Donald Trump posting a video of ‘Trump Gaza’ that even shows him having a beer with Netanyahu on the strip at the end Gaza… the new Klan Antonio 🎉 It’s so deeply sickening that it’s right on brand for where America is right now

Having spent several years collecting & thinking about the huge variety & individuality of inscriptions on #WW1 memorials, this long example from #Southport is the most striking & moving yet.

If I had the resources, I'd just quickly build an exact 1:1 scale replica of Fort Knox about 10 miles away from the real thing and arrange a slight detour so when Trump and Musk visit, have it completely void of gold just to see what they'd do.
