And now one for the gull connoisseurs, a common gull.

Listening to a stupid fool, denying climate change as a reason he doesn’t want solar panels in a field ten miles from his home. He was in a nature reserve that I would like to continue. Still, while he was banging on he missed the marsh harrier. BTW, I didn’t want to listen be he was loud

A peacock butterfly just fluttered past, too quick for a photo. It really is a lovely day.

Lovely day at Messingham sand quarry. Lots of ducks and a bittern booming.

We hear the support for Ukraine from leaders across the world and condemnation of Trump and Vance. American Republicans are strangely quiet. This is a golden opportunity to condemn the Orange One and cut ties with him, for the good of the USA.

Badenoch says we need to stop spending money on international development to spend more on defence. Less on development will certainly push more people to populists and extremists. With the war in Ukraine and the Orange one tearing up everything, we don't need more extremists and terrorists.

Many lapwings at NCW. Really good to see.

It seems that peace talks are taking place between the USA and Russia. I didn't know they were at war.

There seem to be a small, white bar on the BBC News feed. It is on BBC One SD and HD and BBC News channel. When a banner is shown on BBC News channel it covers up the mark. I wonder what it is.

Tawny owls calling outside. I wonder where they will nest, they may already have a nest.

Today I watched PMQ's for the first time in months. It seems that Kemi Badenoch has no clue how to ask questions in a way that gives a meaningful or useful answer. I suppose she doesn't care because she's more interested in being on TV than being truly useful.

The DHL app wants a 10 digit code, their email gives a 14 digit code. What to do to track a delivery? It probably doesn’t matter, they often screw up anyway.

Just seen a couple of videos about changing a wet belt in a car engine. When mainstream vehicles go fully electric (and we will) all this endless complexity will be left behind but the accumulated knowledge and skills will be lost too. ICE sucks.

When George Dubya was president, people mocked him for being a bit stupid. He was such a smart guy compared to The Orange One.

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com I have been followed by this impersonator of you: @martinnlewis.bsky.social I have reported it. I hope BlueSky does a better job than the bird site used to do. BTW, tomorrow is the beginning of The Brightening, halfway between the solstice and the equinox.

Sarah Smith from the BBC has now stated that the helicopter pilot could see the airliner. How does she know the helicopter pilot hadn't been looking at another aircraft. We can't ask the pilot, everyone perished. Why not let an enquiry do their work?

Trump just prejudiced the aircrash enquiry, made unfounded allegations about Obama and Biden administrations, inferred that the air traffic controllers were too stupid and claimed that diversity was to blame. Trump is a fuckwit.

Trump is a despicable piece of shit. Making political gain from an aircrash. Making stupid, ill-thought through comments when the facts are not all known. What must the families be feeling hearing his stupid rants.

@bbcspringwatch.bsky.social I'm really sad you showed using a drone at a nature reserve. I know you had permission, but that's still encouraging people to just use a drone, especially at unmanned sites. Please make it clear to not use a drone at any site.

People round here make a fuss about Yorkshire being ‘proper tea’. It isn’t grown in Yorkshire!

My first moon pic of 2025, won't be the last. Not quite a full moon but a very clear sky.

A proper frost this morning. Ice crystals on the dead heads of sedum.

Why is @looknorthBBC repeating Trump's nonsense? He doesn't deserve any coverage on the Local News ™. Could it be that his right-wing, populist rubbish appeals to the presenter and editor?
