To be clear: when Trump says he wants to “stop the killing” in Ukraine he does not mean “of Ukrainian civilians,” whose killing he is aiding and abetting

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Have a good evening. Keep well. #Sunset #Walk #CombeGibbet

Up & at it with the #Bumblebee . @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social

Owl hunting in the late afternoon sunlight (wonderful interruption from the #litter picking on the walk). #CombeGibbet

It may have been the meteorological last day of Winter but there are already plenty of signs of the “sprunging” of Spring. … and wild garlic coming up behind snowdrops. Yum.

#Hares are clearly so in love with each other (nearly #MadAsAMarchHare ) in the evening #sunset that they came to within a few yards of me. #Meiklewood

With “friends” like this, who needs enemies? Utterly appalling, disingenuous, and frankly incoherent remarks from an office, POTUS, that I absolutely respect but spouted by a thoroughly dreadful individual. Some of the darkest days for 🇺🇸, 🇺🇦, 🇪🇺 & 🇬🇧 since WWII. What on Earth has Putin got over him?

#Birds : the Tawny Owl thought it was time to get up in mid-afternoon given it was so dark from cloud cover (I think some mobbing going on from the Buzzards & Crows). Would be hard to sleep with all the chatter from the Song Thrushes, Blackbirds and Robins. #Birdsong ramping up.

Dead #Hedge using fallen #Oak branches / brash. When I make dead hedges I lie the branches towards the South on N-S Hedge lines. I may be wrong but my idea is that some light can get in (whereas I try to lay living hedges towards the North to encourage the re-growth upwards).

“Hollyoaks”. 🤣Boom boom. #Holly #Oaks #Trees #Meiklewood

Pink-footed #Geese at dusk, moving off to a larger field for the night. #Birds #Meiklewood

Combe Gibbet has a beautiful view and there’s a car park nearby where complete idiots go to leave their #litter . Cans, old vapes, plastic bottles… … and the box of used #fireworks . Urgh.

#RedKite … I think it knows I’m not a Kite, despite my whistle calls chat.

How old is this #Oak #Tree ? Relatively slow growing conditions; clay soil, cool climate, edge of woodland but “competition” on 3 sides. Girth of 20 feet 7 inches (note that as you can see, I took the reading below a burr bump on purpose) / 627cm. So 420 - 500 years old? #Meiklewood

Goooood morning The #Trossachs . Nippy but a beautiful day. #Stirling #Meiklewood

#Hare who has just spotted another running past … between a couple of the #Oaks in the inner park #Meiklewood .

This Rhododendron’s flowers have got out of bed waaaay too early … then have been frosted. Stirling Castle in the background. #Meiklewood

#MonkeyPuzzle, #Wellingtonia (sorry, “Giant #Sequoia”), #Beech and #Oaks all enjoying the afternoon Winter sunshine. #Meiklewood #Trees
