A great tit perches diagonally on a slender, textured branch…… #Birds #naturephotography #lukehaigh

Have a beautiful Mountain Bluebird for this here Bluesky. Nevada's state bird showing off all the blue! 🪶

Happy #Caturday #blackcaturday #blackcats #housepanthers

On my way home through Hyde Park, I came across a heron. I stood withing 3ft of this bird which did not flinch and captured this image. What a treat. I must return! #UKWildlife #UKbirding #Nature #Wildlife #photography #PhotoHour

Spotted this striking male Red-breasted Merganser at the Gull Frolic last week. Such a cool duck and a winter staple near open water, though it's heartbreaking that bird flu is impacting these beautiful birds. #WiscoBirder 📷👐🏾🖤

#BushtitoftheDay A female Bushtit with some spiky feathers after her bath. #birds #nature

Proteuxoa sanguinipuncta - Blood-spotted Noctuid This beautiful moth was a new one for our Perth Hills garden. This moth can be seen across southern parts of Australia and in New Zealand #teammoth #mothsmatter #ausinverts #wildoz #inaturalist

So I'm looking through the What's Hot Classic feed because it's like a car crash, and holy shit there are a lot of furries and shitty artists on this site :( I mean, you do you, but I don't have to look at it!

Also working on a shirt design for my wife but I’m waiting for her to swear she’ll wear it around Anaheim Hills.

Just some 1930s Clarice Cliff teacups.

What TF is this cockamamie nuclear propagandic shytefokery? ‘Port Augusta community reveal local sport clubs won’t survive without construction of nuclear power station’ 🙄 If clubs aren’t surviving now - pretty sure the 15-20 yr wait for a nuclear facility & bad accounting will see their demise.

Possibly the last one for these holidays. Art therapy in action! 🪶🪶 And, yes, probably time to was my palette! #art #watercolour #nature #soulfood

A golden sunrise with shorebirds and a pelican. Bald Hill Beach, South Australia.

Red-breasted mergansers enjoying the rough surf and windy conditions this morning! I, on the other hand, was miserable from the cold and wind! Long Island, NY #birds #photography

Another from way back in 2005, a not so great image of a beautiful Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis) at West Lake #SantaCruz #California #birds #US #USBirds #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #Photography #Duck #Ducks #Waterbird

Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer are filming Robin Hood down the road. They’ve filmed Game of Thrones, Dungeons and Dragons, The Northman here too. I’d go out for drive to try and spot one of them but nothing will compare to once driving by our local Spar and seeing Peter Dinklage pushing a pram.

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

Kitten throwback! Tiny baby Jack, born in 2017. This orange doofus still lives with us and he rarely has the brain cell, but he is very sweet.

Got lucky with exposure time! Canon 5D3 + EF100L macro lens F5.6 at 1/2000th #bloomscrolling

Amazing ego-deflating moment yesterday at lunch. Staff member comes over. ‘I think we have one of your books in the office.’ Me (smugly flattered): that’s entirely possible. He: yes, you left it here last time you visited.

If they can't get comfortable on the communal stem male Blue-banded bees will buzz over to the next free stalk and latch on for the night #BlueBandedBees #MacroAddicts #MacroPhotography #BugSky #MacroSky #Insects #AustralianInsects

A black-headed gull in its winter plumage stands atop a weathered wooden post….. #Birds #naturephotography #lukehaigh

A red knot at Bald Hill Beach.

Synchronised Starlings Studland - by Dorset artist, and children's book author & illustrator, Gill Williams... who knows a thing or two about painting murmurations! More of this artists wonderful murmurations (and other landscapes and seascapes) here: gillwilliamsart.weebly.com #birds #birdart 🪶🌿

Am not the first to point this out, but they need to start using their real names, Pang y Molloy. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

- has access to perhaps 600ft² of soft surfaces - would rather lie across the tops of 5 shoes

Sneaking about on a #Caturday afternoon...

Hey, here's a really great short story for your saturday afternoon, with a real gutpuncher of a last line. Enjoy! hex.ooo/library/nine...

Thanks for the post Jenny. I have come across the same thing in Australia. Stores marketing bread as sourdough when it isn’t. You read the ingredients and it has yeast and all sorts of other additives. Something needs to be done. It’s false advertising.

Peace was never an option. (Until we caved and added the second bowl.)

Helen Razer is writing her newsletter again. It’s really enjoyable helenrazer.substack.com/p/on-fucking...

Chlorocoma cadmaria - Spectacular Emerald A new moth for our Perth Hills Garden. This lovely moth certainly lives up to it's common name! #teamemoth #mothsmatter #ausinverts #wildoz #inaturalist

Attention birdwatchers! - When you see a rare bird that’s far off its course just know you are looking at the dumbest individual from that species

Happy Caturday! I started this kitty drawing. #wip #caturday #hobby #art
