What a show from @dominiehooper.bsky.social last night at Gullivers.

Absolutely incredible. I was already a big fan of the album, but seeing it performed live in that way just absolutely elevated it. Amazing.

The #BirdofTheDay alt theme is #blackandwhite set by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social
I have a male goldeneye duck and some guillemots - one with the bridle eye marking, something I only recently learned about

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a bird fly by and when I looked it was a female kingfisher on our mooring lines. Grabbed phone for a photo through the Perspex door. Really cheered up my rainy day stuck in the boat. #hertsbirds

My #favouriteofthemonth for #birdoftheday has to be a wobbly distance shot of 5 Tundra bean geese. It was on New Year’s Day and a lifer for me - I was soooo excited. Near Tring. #tundrabeangoose #birds

If Dominie is playing anywhere near you, then you should definitely go.

"In This Body Lives" is one of my favourite records of 2025, and the launch gig at the Drewe Arms was genuinely one of my live music highlights of the year too.

My first trip to the Petworth sessions last night & a great show from @dominiehooper.bsky.social for her #InThisBodyLives album tour. An excellent set from beginning to end plus a lovely opening set from #RubyTaylor made it a very enjoyable evening all round. 🎸🎶🙂

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a musician put as much of herself into a gig as @dominiehooper.bsky.social at The New Adelphi in Hull tonight. If the audience were quiet after a couple of the songs it was because they were stunned.
Just “Wow!“

Leaving the @dominiehooper.bsky.social gig on a real high. Just the most wonderful singer with wonderful songs.

And her bass player Twm is from my hometown! Madness.

As in Bristol, so in Hull.
I fully endorse this review of a Dominie Hooper gig - particularly the frequency of the use of the word ‘Wow’.

Hooper's album launch was an emotional one that demonstrated her growth as a performer

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #eyecontact. I have this lovely duck - a male silver Carolina duck. I photographed him somewhere on or near the River Lee navigation. Near Waltham Abbey but I can’t pinpoint exactly where - foggy brain 🙄

I’m a day late but #BirdOfTheDay yesterday set by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #paddling I have and Egyptian goose #birds

The theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #swans . We see so many swans as we go up and down the canals. They are really beautiful birds. First photo is cygnets getting a lift on mum and second photo is more grown up cygnets being like Mum and Dad 😆 #birds

Moored up the boat and just as the light was fading we were lucky enough to see this dear #littegrebe We are beginning to see them on the canal now - we never used to. #hertsbirds #boxmoortoplock #birds

My #BirdOfTheDay #TwoOfAKind are guillemot, great crested Grebe, 2 Gannets and their chicks and two king fishers - how lovely this occupation is - to look back through one’s photos and see other people’s wonderful captures too #birds

Oh it’s #SquirrelSaturday I saw my first red squirrels last year in Scotland - I felt unbelievably emotional at the sight of them. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera with me. But here are a couple of greys in Devon

I doubt I shall add to this list today as it’s foggy and wet here in Berkhamsted. Moving the boats to a new location tomorrow 🤩 #birds #birdwatching #birdlist
