SW France birding not easy 39C+ but Bonellies Eagle today up in a local gorge big passage of swallows south and Orioles still singing and calling in Garden. Honey Buzzard from car.

#birds Some hard birding down here in SW France 39C Golden Oriole Melodoius Warbler and Hoopoe in the garden. Beeaters over on and off!

Driving from Carcassone to Montpellier today the fire seems. To be contained in Aude. Beeeaters a solitary Roller on wires and a Booted Eagle

Hahaha haha!

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Why oh why do we have Refom's Tim Montgomerie on this programme again that is not balance he is right wing extremist in sheep's clothing

#patch Little Owl heard for a few weeks often in daytime and calling frequently last night. Scarcity here last few years

Very pleasant morning at Walberswick 2 hrs sitting on the bank watching and hearing the Zitting Cisticoa doing its stuff periodically.

#TestMatch Siraj nails it probably a fair result, all told? 2-2 but a fantastic watch throughout!

Don't often photograph many birds these days but I always try to with this species. On my local patch tonight a very early date for a migrant?

#patch Heavy rain always a chance of a fall even on this date. A very early Wheatear found this evening 1st of year here for me! Wood Sand still and the usuals.

OMG this #testmatch I can't cope with the stress! Now off rain and bad light

Who cares about this?

#JoeRoot what a player!

Evidence?none!

Finally made it to see the Boyton Black Stork incredibly tame bird in that ditch yards from the footpath. Last one I saw in Suffolk was prob. 1998!

I will have a selection of New Wire Bird Sculptures for sale this Saturday at the Suffolk Sketchfest Festival,Woodbridge Harbour,Suffolk. #birdart #woodbridge #wiresculpture #suffolksketchfest

Scotland where is your credibility?

#patch lots of Raven activity from the garden this afternoon. Gronking on and off for a couple of hours!

That confirms it. Farage is only for the rich like Stewart who would vote for a snake oil politician like Farage. Beats me.

Think I agree mostly?

#Ozzy Amazing emotional scenes in Birmingham for his funeral almost as big as for the football girls yesterday!

Certainly needed?

#patch Wood Sand present 4th day (if the same as Fri.) 10 Green Sands at least and gave the Gulls a good look tonight and found ad. Caspian Gull amongst the 200+ gulls.

Welcome to Britain, Mr Vance despite the @uklabour.bsky.social government cow towing to you and Trump, many here won't be welcoming you?

#RemarkableRoot that is Joe Root!

Who supports the #doctorsstrike not me shameful!

RIP #Ozzy

Constant pressing, psychological advantage and a bit of Italian stupidity puts the #Lionesses through!
