Another sunny, cold day in Surrey. Good to see Redpolls, Siskin, Dartfords, and Goldcrests #RSPBFarnham #SurreyBirding #UKBirding

Don't see these very often in my part of Surrey, so a good start to the birding year #SurreyBirding #UKBirding

Every heath I visit in Surrey has Crossbills - like buses, all come at once after waiting for ages #AshRanges #UKBirding #SurreyBirding. Redwings, Coal Tits & Goldcrests .. whilst the Dartfords & Stonechats were taking cover in the furze and heather.

The odd glimpse of sunshine on Thursley Common today. I fear that it will be raining until 2026 #EnglishWeather #DartfordWarbler & usual suspects #SurreyBirding

A real treat this book. A story of stories that weave together & flow in to the River Tigris.
The Epic of Gilgamesh being at the core of this story.
So much is written about the Epic and its relationship with the Hebrew Bible, most notably the Garden of Eden and Noah & the Arc. Fascinating stuff 👍
From The Betrayal of Anne Frank, by Rosemary Sullivan. #booksky

Air temperatures, soil temperatures and reanalyses all agree on how the UK’s climate has warmed & varied over the past decades.
Don’t listen to the usual critics who try to claim otherwise…

Great night in Guildford... couple of real 'aha' moments - Rho Chi & your take on Constantine's motives at Council of Nicaea.
Only downside to the evening was finding my can of beer at the Interval was all shook up - had a couple of Guildfordians ducking 😬 ☔️ 🍺
Haven’t been to Farlington Marshes for a while. A few #UKBirding treats 🐦⬛
