I’m a bit busy today and tomorrow peeps. Be back when I can. Take care.

Pips lost her mother to lions in September 2025. A few days old. Giraffes are skittish and not inclined to trust people quickly. Pips was all of that. Then she decided Keeper Peter was probably safe. Now he has to leave his coat behind when he runs errands.

What are you going to do? Support Spain or this war mongering Faux Noose presenter and his psycho boss who both think war is a game and lots of fun? Max authorities means there are no rules of engagement, just death and destruction. You either side with a paedo protector and war criminal or lead.

I don’t understand Americans. The country is on fire, the world is on fire. She asks you to unite and some comments show the exact opposite. And that’s how the world ended up with Trump. I wouldn’t mind so much if you actually build that wall end put a lid on it. We’ll take a peek in four years time

Have you read at all what she wrote? She just pleaded with you to unite.

A European stonechat perched on a bramble stem, surrounded by fresh green leaves with reddish edges. The small bird has a warm orange chest, mottled brown back, and a pale wing patch. Its beak is stuffed with a messy bundle of dry grass, moss, and fine roots—nest material so large it partly hides its face—suggesting it is busy building or lining a nest. The background is softly blurred green, making the bird and the tangle of nesting material stand out clearly.

Good morning. For the alt of today’s #BirdOfTheDay #NestBuilders I’m going with this Stonechat who was building a three room extension to the nest, all with sea views. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Love this, Alan.

The Black-tailed godwits seem to be back, but not yet in these parts. 🪶

Long-tailed tits are early nesters, so I must go into the woods soon. 🪶

Big-haired Hawfinch 🪶

No sign of the bluethroats yet. 🪶

These lazy buggers sleep in during the cold months (and it’s still cold in the morning) till about 10 o’clock.

Thank you Alan 🙏🏼

😁

Thanks Alan. They really are.

Home improvement class. “How to maintain your nest” for Alan’s alt theme #NestBuilders.

For Alan’s #ShoutItOut I have a buzzard having opinions. #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

A Ruddy Turnstone stands on a dark coastal rock against a smooth blue sea backdrop, its bright orange legs planted firmly as it leans forward with its beak wide open, appearing to shout. Sunlight highlights the rich chestnut and mottled brown feathers on its back, while its white belly contrasts sharply below, giving the small wader a bold, indignant expression as if loudly protesting to the world.

Early bird catches the worm. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoutItOut birds calling out. The alt theme is #NestBuilders birds with nest material. Good luck everyone. 😊 See you a bit later. 😴 This one is for folks in different time zones to get a chance first. 😊 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

My Alan, you were up late. Or early. Good morning to you.

Looks like Spain is the only country with balls while Arschlochkriecher Merz invites a war criminal. Oh and Ursula in case you hadn’t noticed: trump does nothing to help Ukraine. Remember who are his bosses (both war criminals) with copies if not originals of the Epstein files.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideView, birds that are side on to the camera. Here's a Rufous Hummingbird sitting tall on a sunny day in July. They like to perch and do a bit of grooming after hitting the feeder.

A young grizzly bear stands on a rock face and looks toward the viewer. He is friend-shaped, but I do not recommend hugs!

A grey Wolf sits in front of a fallen log on the BC Coast.

Today is #WorldWildlifeDay and I have been fortunate to experience so many magic moments with wildlife. We need to continue to work towards protecting wildlife and the places that they call home.

Silhouette of an Indian Spotted Deer stag standing slightly left of center beneath a natural arch formed by dark trees. Warm golden light glows through mist in the background, creating a tunnel-like forest scene at Keoladeo National Park, Rajasthan. The stag’s antlers are sharply outlined against the illuminated haze.

Framed by nature.
Sustained by respect.

World Wildlife Day.

Oh and Ursula, he said our soldiers were useless and called US soldiers suckers and losers.
Don’t you and that incompetent Rutte drag us into his Epstein Fury.

Thank you!

Good morning. Happy Tuesday.
Observing the clouds above, keeping our waters calm, gives the best perspective for finding how to grow the light.
Have a great day.

Reed bunting 🪶

When a bittern passes you by without saying hello 🙁 I had many occassions where I nearly stepped on this invisible bird. Only knowing it was there at all because it screamed at me and flew off. 🙁🙁
