OK, that’s it… I’m going to mute “swan”.

It’s a difficult issue, but so often the objectives of conservation and (sustainably managed) hunting go hand in hand. Not personally a fan of shooting, except with a camera! 📸 And you can see images from Velebit on @zslofficial.bsky.social #InstantWild: instantwild.zsl.org/projects/cro...

Oi! Bluesky! Stop showing me pictures of swans, FFS.

It’s local election time in the UK. If you have the choice, please send the government and the media a clear message about the #climate and #biodiversity crises by voting @greenparty.org.uk.

Swan and greylag goose at Wicksteed Park, Keytering, Northants today. #UkWildlifePhotos

I never knew there was a #WorldCivetDay. What’s your favourite #civet? Mine’s the Banded Civet: the ombré effect in their stripes is mesmerising.

I loves hellebores, me.

🌊 This #CitiSciMonth, we’re spotlighting #iSeahorse! See a seahorse? Report it on iSeahorse.org (via iNaturalist) to help scientists protect them and their habitats. 🔎 Spot → 📷 Snap → 💻 Share. It’s that simple! #CitizenScience #SavingSeahorses #iSeahorse

I’ve muted most words to do with US politics, dogs and cats, and now BlueSky keeps running out of posts. 🤔

Dear Beatles, I let it be. Now look at the flipping state of it.

I said… go away… ALL of you! @comiccontext.bsky.social #MarvelComics #FantasticFour #StanLee #Submariner

Landscape with Aura (migraineurs know this one) #watercolor on paper #art

The iron beds of Adventdalen, Svalbard, for #IronworkThursday. Apparently in situ since the 1980s, everyone has their own story as to why they are there. Are they the remains of a house that washed away? The results of an abandoned house move? Splendidly random, anyway.

This week’s amaze-ing blog post looks at, well, mazes and labyrinths, with particular reference to their presence in parks and gardens: bit.ly/3QKcg7r. It looks at their origins, evolution, the various types, and, perhaps most importantly, how to escape them.

Yay! New #topes and other stuff in #ProjectSIARC on @zslofficial.bsky.social #InstantWild today! instantwild.zsl.org/task/373221

I might be late to this particular party, but I find myself listening to #PaleBlueEyes a lot at the moment. If you like #indie or #shoegaze or #synthpop or just plain old great #popmusic, you might like them too. Check them out on @bandcamp.com or at www.paleblueeyes.co.uk Awesome.

Awesome! Zoo-archaeology! With jeopardy. 🐊

Genius. Google Maps take note. #GulfOfMexico #GulfOfUnderstanding

Still one of my favourite ever albums, and I bought it just because I liked the name of the band.

When did it become OK to loudly watch your television in a public place?
