This annual slaughter of Dolphins & Pilot Whales takes place in the Faroes annually, as a 'tradition', know as the Grind. They are set to host the 2027 Island Games. Please sign this petition to stop that hosting unless this needless slaughter ends.

Posts from a fallen down trellis and a photo @dramirkhangp.bsky.social shared ages ago of horizontal bird feeders in his garden is the inspiration behind these feeders I’ve just hung up. Blue tit on it in less than 10 seconds, followed by great tit, then starling minutes later. A resounding success!

I was asked after the 1st visit to Llanwonno recently if I’d had my nightjar fix this year. I could go searching for nightjars every night given half the chance! Trip number 3 last night…watched it churr on top of a tree a while…
Trip number 4 hopefully soon!

This morning’s #platformnature star is the dunnock. I stopped in my tracks (no pun intended) and listened a while. Just what I needed ❤️

I think I might start a #platformnature tag! Lots to see on a train platform.
Weekend - blackbirds alarm calling. A few minutes later, a magpie appeard with a blue egg in its beak, and hid it here, in flowers right next to the railtrack.
Don’t hate the predators! #itsnature

It’s that time of year for the annual ‘they won’t win awards’ photos and footage of Llanwonno’s nightjars, and other birds.

Where do @lucylapwing.bsky.social remarkable #Springwatch props end up I wonder? They should be auctioned. Who doesn’t want a north/south facing mini wall on a mantlepiece?!
