Two black-and-white wagtails stand on large sunlit rocks along a stony shoreline. The nearer bird balances on one leg taking a step while looking upward, its long tail trailing behind, while a second wagtail perches slightly higher on a rock in the background. Bright light glints off the wet stones and the soft dark background isolates the birds, giving the scene a layered feel of watchful movement along the rocky shore.

I often wondered what is so special about the human litterbox that they need to snoopervise.

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 flash of blue and orange in the green silence of the forest. The Common Kingfisher patiently waits on a branch above the water, ready to dive for its next catch.

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.
Bearded reedling 🪶

Reed bunting having breakfast on the waving reeds. 🪶

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.
