Fantastic shots. Didn’t realise they were a Ketupa not a Bubo now.

I haven’t looked at the specifics of the latest figures but forest fires, tree death from drought, pests and disease, accelerated decay of litter, changes in soil bacteria can all tip areas from carbon sinks to sources.

Ignore the horrifying seat projection to avoid mental distress or because it’s a flawed projection? (Hoping it’s the latter)

Yep I was just looking at round trip distances and flight speed. If it left last night it’s on the limit… 2 birds or same bird - both amazing.

Mind blowing it went up to Scotland and back…

Can I email someone else’s MP as mine’s on the Tory right, in a safe seat where Reform is the main threat and has voted 9-0 against climate action? 😒

Oof he’s very smart.

I think he’ll make up any pretext to act like the β€œstrong man dictators” he admires.

You were right - I picked the wrong day to go to Doñana (sorry Niki 😬 - hope the Blue-cheeked puts in a return visit) - thanks for a fantastic week in the Straits though.

Appallingly phone-scoped holiday snap of two rare terns.

Appallingly phone-scoped holiday snap of two rare terns.

A shit photo from the halfway point of a great holiday. Doable as no-fly (I flew one way and surface travelling back and will do better next time). Any guesses for the location…

Lovely photo - nice to see from a less photographed angle.

Thanks for flagging this - really enjoyed watching - very funny, cleverly put together and lovely footage of American birds.

Yes - i would say so.

It’s the MMO not Crown Estate that manage marine fishing rights.

They have started painting St George’s crosses spanning the white circles of mini-roundabouts in our town in SE London…. Did remind me of the kerbstones when you drive through some N Irish towns. I find it quite antagonistic.

Enjoyed reading your blog account (and the previous Cisticola / Stork one). I’m not sure I could face a 2am start - glad you saw it. I’ll wait for one in Kent - suspect it won’t be more than a few years away.

Treatment plants don’t extract microplastics. Run off from sewage sludge spread on farmlands pollutes rivers. It’s not perfect but my understanding is biochar pyrolysis mostly breaks down microplastics and biochar is stable in the soil so boosts soil carbon and fertility without nutrient run off.

What I’ve read on the topic suggests you have to de-water sewage sludge before using pyrolysis to make biochar - so I struggle to see how urine would be suitable as it’s far too dilute. Although I think this is a good technology for sewage solids and animal manure.

Love Hobbies and Goshawks - that’s an uncomfortable watch.

It’s just annoyed at being badly painted. (Feels heretical to say that as I realise it’s a famous artist but not one of his better works)

Thanks. It does look a clever setup for seawatching. Needs a beefy tripod I imagine.

Is that a bridge camera or dslr?
