This thread went in an unexpected direction for an unexpected connection 😀

In the foreground is a goat eating something off a branch this laying on the ground. The patch of ground is brown because it is covered in leaves that have fallen. The goat has a black head and neck. Its body is mainly white. It’s a bit shaggy haired and has two smallish horns. A bit further back is a second goat. It sits on the ground. It has two big horns that curve backwards over its back. Beyond this goat is a green field edged by trees. As it’s a sunny morning and where the goats are in relation to the direction of the sun, they are a bit backlit

The goats were enjoying the sun this morning. I’m not sure what breed of goat they are - some had impressive curved horns that appeared handy for scratching their backs.

In the foreground a brown and black striped cats tail as the cat walks past the camera. It’s a tail in motion. Behind it is a yellow plastic garden bucket. There are many leaves on the patio and green plants and netting in the background.

A happy story for today. I helped reunite this lost cat with its people earlier today.

A magpie sits in a tree. There are leaves in the tree

Two magpies in flight against a cloudy sky. There are also a couple of trees in the frame

A lot of magpie noise earlier today. There were four or five magpies about. Not sure if they were chattering as a warning about a cat or squabbling amongst themselves.

A section of an old, weathered tree against a clear sky. Towards the bottom of the photo is a thick branch. Sitting on this branch is a magpie. It’s a black and white photo

Lots of people saying they’ve got bumper crops of apples and such atm. If you’ve too many and don’t know what to do with them, ask your local Foodbank or cooperative pantry if they could use them! Dad got 2kg to the Fishguard Foodbank earlier.

I’ve certainly taken shittier ones!

Three pigeons in flight. They are silhouetted: the one of the left is silhouetted against the cloudy sky. The middle one is also silhouetted against the sky and appears to merge with the end of a tree branch silhouette. On the right hand is the third pigeon in front on some tree branches. This pigeon is facing the camera with its wings out stretched, and its wings are paler than the rest of its body.

Three pigeons mid-flight.

@wulfhelm.bsky.social

I can see what you mean 😀

I’ll have to look them up …

🙂

Almost

A green field below a pale blue sky. On the horizon there is a tree line. In the foreground is some wire fencing and a grassy bank that mark the edge of the field. Two corn buntings (a type of bird) sit in the field. They are very small in this photo, so hard to see. But they are there, really!

Corn buntings (at least I think they are. I’m not great at identifying birds).

Squirrels can do math.
And they are really good at it.
It’s nuts.
