Sunny weekend for the first time in ages, revealing that I really need to do some emergency dusting 😳😬

A wooden walkway across a sand dune, with 4 lesser black-backed gulls occupying various spots: ome is standing on the walkway on top of the dune, on is standing on a pole , one is flying off to the right, and the 4th is about to land, wings spread wide and looking downward

5 Brent Geese grazing on a field, under a clear blue sky

About 10 wigeons swimming. In the goreground 3 of them seem to be putting their heads together

#Fourormore is a theme for #BirdOfTheDay today. Couldn’t decide, so here are a few. #birds

Na klar

Wow. I mean, I hope their plan to reroute those bus lines will work (though can it get worse than it currently is?), but Oxford street itself as pedestrian zone: awesome.

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

Wenn sich doch die deutsche Politik mal so rechtfertigen müsste, wie der deutsche Sport.

Sie haben nur 8 Goldmedaillen geholt, was werden Sie jetzt besser machen?

Ach Sie haben drölfzigtausend Milliardeeuro in den Sand gesetzt? Werden Sie doch Fraktionssvorsitzender.

A small very round rusty brown bird with dark brown barring on its belly, wings, and tail and a pale eyebrow stands on a fallen stick surrounded by fallen brown leaves in profile facing right with its head and stubby tail lifted giving it a checkmark shape.

This is his territory, and he's about to let you know it.

Found a Wagamama cookbook at my local library. Didn't know this was a thing, but fully plan on making some firecracker chicken or a katsu curry next weekend :D

Der Text des Urteils

Kein Vergeben! Kein Vergessen!!
Am 22. Februar 1943 wurden unter der Prozessleitung von Richter Roland Freisler Hans u.Sophie Scholl sowie Christoph Probst zum Tod u.a. wegen Hochverrat, Wehrkraftzersetzung verurteilt. Noch am selben Tag wurde das Urteil vollstreckt. #weisseRose

Aww, how adorable was Japan's Ami Nakai in kiss & cry corner? That bronze medal win took a while to register. Those are the moments I love the Olympic Games for. #iceskating

bester Rat bei Spielen. Hab in meiner ersten Dinosaur Island Runde auch ein paar Sachen zwischendrin vergessen. Passiert halt. Außer du spielst mit meiner Schwester, die ist dann genervt, dass "mitten im Spiel die Regeln geändert werden" und hat kein Bock mehr. Ist kein großer Brettspielfan *g*

Stimmt, der sollte wohl als erstes mal hinzugezogen werden

To be fair, die Patientin braucht *wirklich* dringend Physio...

oh, I already cancelled, don't worry. Only using it for those 30 days. First time I've subscribed about 2 years, probably why I even qualified for the trial period. *g*

30 day free trial for Amazon prime. Seemed like a good idea, to catch up on The Night Manager and a few others. Logging into the app proves an unexpected challenge right now though *sigh*

Weiß jmd von euch zufällig von einer kleinen Wohnung in/um Tostedt/Niedersachsen, die frei und ab März/April zu vermieten ist?
RT wäre toll :)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood, birds with food in their beaks, the Alt theme is #Grey, birds with Grey feathers on them.
Here's a Blue Tit, Robin, Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Nuthatch (covers both themes)

The setup of Dinosaur Island, a roll and write game, after the game had verb finished. Several game cards and a filled out score card can be seen

First (solo) round of Dinosaur Island Raw‘n‘Write. Quite a few pages of instructions to get through for a short-ish game, but once you get the hang of the symbols and in which order to take certain actions, it’s not that complicated. Love the theme, didn’t kill any visitors 🦖- one to play again

Still mostly stuck to my couch. If this cold doesn’t take a real turn for the better until tomorrow morning, I might just have to get my first doctor‘s note in almost 3 years.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Portrait

Here's an #AfricanStonechat

Happy Valentine's day.

A white-throated sparrow is on a bare small branch. It has its back to the camera with its head turned to the left, giving a profile view.

🪶 Today's #BirdOfTheDay, per Alan @alan678.bsky.social, is #Portrait. This white-throated sparrow wanted a profile shot.

I consider myself primarily a dragonfly lover, so it is with great pain that I post this shocking image of an evil Pied Wagtail for the #bugsinbeak theme by the very cruel @alan678.bsky.social for today's #BirdoftheDay.

The cold from 2 weeks ago is making a comeback today, bringing with it the cough that so far had been missing. Not that I missed it. Anyway, another sick day, hoping it's just a short burst and tomorrow will be better again.

An Eastern Bluebird stands on the bare river ice after getting a drink. He’s illuminated by the wan early morning January sun, but it doesn’t provide much warmth. He looks a somewhat forlorn to me.

A small frozen river, in which a meandering path is kept ice-free by mallards. In the picture, about 15 mallards in a row are swimming along it

#WaterBirds for #BirdOfTheDay. Is there any waterbird more common than the mallard? I love seeing them at basically every pond and lake everywhere. Here’s a group that worked a neat path into a frozen stream.

Spotted Redshank on the left wading, Male Teal on the right Floating.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples, two different birds in one capture.
