Great strategic move Donald, announcing to the world you've sent 2 subs with nuclear capability to threaten Putin, what a military genius, the village idiot has finally topped the idiot class.

There's a certain beauty out there in the vast expansive universe that humbles and in way makes you feel insignificant including this peice of natural cosmic art, the Mystic Mountain.

Much maligned and misunderstood the Common Starling, Sturnus, Latin name Sturnus vulgaris which is rather unfair I don't regard them as vulgar more of an avian character with subtle beauty in breeding plumage.

Yesterday, whilst out walking near Burnham Overy Staithe I saw something I've never witnessed before. This Red Kite dropped into a channel & appeared carrying a large fish. Whilst I'd read that they will hunt like Ospreys I'd never ever seen it. What an experience!! #norfolkbirding

Spring is in the air and the Goshawks are coming out of the canopy. Very high up so some heavy cropping. Nice to watch though!

A wonderful pale morph Adult Male HONEY BUZZARD arguably the most aesthetically beautiful raptors in the Western Palearctic in my teens I considered it a near mythical species fortunately I've been lucky enough to see them at breeding sites as I grew up.
