This shot of a heron passing across the aptly named Heron Pond in Bushy Park is one of my favourites from a magical early morning shoot last week. I love the silhouette effect and the mystical atmosphere created by the morning mist and reflections in the water.❤️ @theroyalparks.bsky.social

Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

Some excellent work by Susie and colleagues, and some fantastic ceratopsian news (for those who partake)!
Out in @nature.com today, we shake up the ornithischian family tree. Remember those weird Late Cretaceous iguanodontians, the rhabdodontids? Well they're weird because they aren't iguanodontians. They're ceratopsians. Well, at least some of them are... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A hidden diversity of ceratopsian dinosaurs in Late Cretaceous Europe - Nature
New results indicate that rhabdodontids and the previously described Ajkaceratops are actually distinctive European ceratopsians, a group better known from Asia and North America.

Annual reminder that the world didn't crash on Y2K because countless people put in countless hours of work to ensure computer systems were updated to handle the date switch from 1999 to 2000.
It was a real problem that a huge group effort fixed.
