Field studies of Avocets at a superb looking @Barnsleybsg @RSPB_OldMoor Wombwell Ings this morning. Been trying to nail these birds for years! I think there's a bit of improvement here, but It's probably futile to think I'll ever get 'em right! Cheers

@johnmcdonnellMP @johnmcdonnellMP There comes a point where a nation has to stop reciting moral slogans and face hard reality. Britain is at that point. You talk about Sudan as if this country still has limitless capacity, limitless housing, limitless public services, and limitless social trust.

Rain took a break long enough for me to check the local gull flock and enjoy this lovely Thayer’s
