I think @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social was looking for the answer to be yes
But thanks Kent for offering a much shorter and less meaningful answer

Every single day, the BBC’s coverage of Palestine is systematically racist - against Palestinians. Every day, at present, what is happening to the bodies of a few dead Israelis is considered newsworthy while the actual ongoing killing (and torture, and ethnic cleansing) of many Palestinians is not.

Please go beyond the macabre and read this whole article.
It so elegantly touches on bat conservation, disease ecology, and the concept of One Health.

Last week we had predominately Brown Long Eared bats swarming, this week Natterer’s 🦇 Male and female Long Eared’s caught inside the swarming site, but only male Natterer’s so far and mainly young of year.

Worth a look at what’s going on here

Brown Shrike isn't the really rare bird it was, even 20 years ago, as a presumed westward push means records here have risen well past the 50 mark. However, it is still a species that brings a few identification teases with it; careful appraisal (especially if views aren't as good as these!) of several features is still needed to make sure of making the right call. If you can enjoy good views, then Brown Shrike identification can come quite quickly... The bird in Suffolk really is a beauty with ID features a go go.

I enjoyed the Suffolk Brown Shrike ~ so smart & an example of a rarity that you can still dig into in terms of identification. Arrows highlight the classic bull-headed look, a large-looking bill, striking mask & longish tail, with the shortish primary projection is in yellow.
See ALT too.
