Find myself thinking about these words by Kurt Vonnegut: ...the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

I mean, I’m all for tradition… so, if these folk use absolutely no modern tech in the process, and are banned from buying anything from the local Co-Op till they’ve eaten all the fishy leather they harvest, they can fill their boots.

A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.
Bird sounds.

Nocturnal flight calls of Knot
A flock of Knot migrating over Cambridge, 0100 25/07/25
After spending the evening watching large flocks of Knots at Snettisham it's a nice surprise to find this flock that migrated over Cambridge at 1am last night. Audio processed with the BTO Acoustic Pipeline's #nocmig classifier. #UKBirding #bioacoustics soundcloud.com/user-9092529...

News of Common Scoter moving west over Winter Hill, 7mls south of where I live in Blackburn, had me rushing outside where I got lucky in the first 5mins with this flock of 38 west at 22:10. Even better, it was still light enough to see them with the naked eye. A vismig sight to behold! #LancsBirding

Staggering lunacy.
How many feet (clearly not left ones) does this government have to discharge so many massively misjudged bullets into? 😵💫

Group of BTO staff looking at the camera as they gather round the post box to post a letter to the Prime Minister.
3/ BTO therefore supports the Climate and Nature (CAN) Bill to require the UK to achieve climate and nature targets. Today a group of BTO staff posted a letter to the Prime Minister asking that this Bill be debated and voted on in Parliament. #CANBill @zero-hour.bsky.social

Ooo, Big Bend!
🤔 UK birders - remember, if still thinking of list-hols to the USA 'cos, "forget politics, good birds".. 🙄
Be ready to show your papers at ALL times (and have NO 'bigly' jokes on SM history on your phone).
Otherwise your great escape might be more like "The Great Escape". 😇
