Barrie Hunter

I read that momentarily as Grasshopper Warbler at BF LNR…then excitedly clicked on the photos!😂🙄

For sure!!

Hello there!👋

The Kinneil brass band playing outside the Barony Theatre in Boness.

A memorable trip to Bo'ness last night for the opening of Sylvia Dow's impressive and moving new play Blinded By The Light at the remarkable Barony Theatre. The play is partly about the lost battle to save the local colliery in 1982 so fitting that the Kinneil Band were on hand to welcome folk in.

It was smashin to see you last night-thanks for making it along!

Saw my first Swifts of 2025 yesterday…my favourite bird.❤️

Those eyes!!

I’ve seen some grainy footage on a (I think) John Byrne docu. Kevin Bacon, Sean Penn & Val Kilmer-the accents are….”interesting”….😳😉

I remember a passage in The Peregrine by J A Baker which alludes to this. He finds a recently deceased Heron and, on lifting it, is surprised at how light it is. You’ve inspired me to reread that wonderful book!

Tee Rannysaurus?

An unexpected delight as I spotted a male Blackcap on my feeders this morning-a new tick for my garden list!

British novelists criticise government over AI ‘theft’ Richard Osman and Kate Mosse say plan to mine artistic works for data would destroy creative fields

'A government spokesperson said: “Current uncertainty about how copyright law applies to AI is holding back the creative industries and AI sector from realising their full potential."'
I notice the government are not sugesting the power companies give the AI sector their electricity for free.

Saw you up in the dress circle Thom…hope you managed to catch a flump!😉😂

See it!!

My first ever Little Auk, blown in and sheltering from Bert in Broughty Ferry. Thanks to @dundeebirding.bsky.social for Friday’s heads up-glad he hung about til I got home!

It’s good to be here. Be gentle with me…😉
