Failed to see the RBF at Barns Ness tho' the LWFG was great - and a consolation prize, a hawkmoth on pine at Barns Ness, appears to be a sp. I'd never heard of, the aptly named Pine Hawkmoth, English but moving N, I think?? @edinburghnats.bsky.social @edinburghnature.bsky.social

Best day than I've had for a long time, Cory's N then S in the morning at Barns Ness, White-rumped Sandpiper at Thortonloch early afternoon, not sure that it's the same bird as Kevin's which I didn't really see - last pic shows long wings for its long migration @birdinglothian.bsky.social

History warns us that there may come a time when the pendulum swings and the unchecked power you actively installed or passively enabled could point back at you. We must restore our system of checks and balances to protect the American people and our democracy.
