A butterfly and a ladybird for a summer Sunday. #wildlife #photography

Love this thread. The Apparatus!

Duncan Weldon @duncanweldon.bsky.social · 1d

Been to the youngest’s harvest assembly.
Theory: every primary school built pre about 1980 in Britain has some version of this equipment. It is referred to as something like ‘the apparatus’.
No one has any memory of it ever being used.

IMPROVISED OWL PHYSIO

Dr Delyth Badder @folklorewales.com · 4d

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Clearly. But it was also probably the only one in the book that had actually been written by a child rather than competitive parents….

Genius. Even greater than my personal favourite from the 1970s Blue Peter book of prize-winning limericks

there was an old old man
who had a big big pan
and when he had it
he caught a rabbit
and made some rabbit jam

The majority of people who complain about Sadiq Kahn's mayorship of London comes from people who don't actually live in London.

The evidence in favour of 20 mph speed limits is overwhelming, cheaper insurance, less emissions, less car crashes, it saves the NHS, Police and councils money. But Gary from Port Talbot's commute now takes 42 minutes instead of 40 so it simply must go.

A few recent encounters in Alberta

Marsh Wren singing in the reeds with sunlight bokeh behind

Black and white image of bear cub raising up onto its hind legs to look at the viewer over a bank of long grasses

The tiny Marsh Wren, small in the frame to give an idea of its size as it sings amongst rushes on a lakeshore in Alberta

Raven flying away from the viewer with the bokeh of a lake sparkling behind

Early morning Mount Fuji. I love the twilight light from the opposite direction of a sunrise, especially with mountains. This was late autumn season, when I saw lots of autumn leaves at the bottom of the lake. Taken with a CPL to make them visible.
