I’m lucky to have a pond in our backyard and also attract quite a few birds , but not sure I would make it to 70 , probably when considering the migratory in March and now .

You know , birds are always a challenge ,as they do not cooperate , to what we want .
But personally that is why I love taking pictures of any birds , even the same birds, but différents situations.
Thanks for the kudos, love your pictures too, we visited Malaysia back in 2022, and loved it .

Dans l’indécence de ce dimanche politique en France, une voix pour s’élever, s'extraire de la médiocrité, de l’irresponsabilité, alors l'humain et le non-humain s'effritent collectivement... Pour éviter l'effondrement, une voix....

Nous sommes dimanche soir, une nouvelle semaine va bientôt commencer. Et je crois qu'il n'y a pas de meilleure manière de l'entamer que d'écouter ce formidable message que Jane Goodall a enregistré pour chacun d'entre nous.

franceflo.bsky.social @franceflo.bsky.social · 10d

Tout à fait d’accord 😌

franceflo.bsky.social @franceflo.bsky.social · 10d

Agreed, sold my 2021 Tesla, bought an Electric Audi , charging mostly at home , not Tesla charger , when on the road never use a Tesla charger , I’ve never had an X account .
But sadly it seems starlink contract with everybody 😡
