A rival for Feathers McGraw right there!

A penguin sorts out its disguise and checks in the mirror. The disguise is a single red rubber glove fitted tightly on its head.

Happy Full Supermoon
🌚🌝 to all who enjoy staring up at the night sky in wonder. It’s bright right now and even brighter at 5am (Tues) - a Neil Young Harvest Moon #autumn

Good to have you back here Matt, it’s TwAtter’s loss. Everyone decent should leave, anyone who stays can shout at each to zero effect.

Good to know you’ve had success and no casualties flying into the window. I may be tempted to add one, as you say, the close up views are such a treat.
Pity Finches Friend aren’t on BlueSky. I follow WildlifeKate who is, but hasn’t posted for a few months.

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.

Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!

We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

Excellent knowledgeable analysis, worth a read! #lfc

In-depth tactical analysis of the issues #LFC are facing, which surfaced vs Chelsea.

- Build-up has issues, pressing shape needs tweaking
- Fullback numbers that give a stark overview
- Lack of clarity?

Still early in the season.

Ha ha! I’m listening to the first one now. It’s not homework when it’s learning about birds 😄. Thanks Suzy! Out of interest, did you try out the window mounted one? I’m always a bit wary of enticing them in and then they fly into the glass!

Oh, no, I haven’t! I’m sporadic on the podcasts, usually listen if I’m batch cooking 🥣🥦 😃. Many thanks! I will catch up asap

Thanks. I like the design a lot, it keeps the bird food really dry and in good condition. So important with Manchester drizzle 😄! Glad your FF sunflower feeder is popular, maybe I can add that as well and see if it has more success. (PS I love your podcast)

😁 A good habit to be fair, I sometimes put mine on the stairs outside to stop me getting distracted.

1) Blue tit. First (& only) visitor to my new bird feeder in my yard. It’s been up for weeks. Too many cats patrolling so I don’t get many birds coming down. So this one visit was super exciting!
2) Lots of long tailed tits mooching tree to tree in my local woods.
3) back of a jay flying off

Outstanding BlueSky “post of the day”. A wonderful story of love, care and natures’ ability to repair. And boy, I needed a happy ending today! 💚🦉

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?” 🧵

Oh thanks for the info, I’ll look at the schedule. Frenzy is a good choice! Bit of an underrated Hitchcock that one. He’s such a master of editing. 🎬

Brilliant news. Having decent cycle lanes gives another option for how to travel. Hopefully some of those who cycled their journey will do it again as it was convenient, healthy and fun 🚲 🙌 #cycling #activetravel

Our CEO Chris Morris (not the one pictured) hosted a Reddit Ask Me Anything yesterday and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Loads of great questions from a super engaged community! Read the write-up 👇✍️

Thank you for the lasagne r/ukpolitics – Full Fact

Good work for highlighting this. Not a single pundit or game analysis has mentioned it. Sucked the life & enjoyment out of the match completely & ref was dreadful.
“Ball in play for only 52 out of 103mins. As per Opta, via 365scores, the match was stopped 93 different times” 👎👎👎 #lfc

You’ve made a lasting positive impact, wish our mayor had the same courage. #manchester
“Last year, a University of Manchester report said up to 1,200 premature deaths were attributed to air pollution in Greater Manchester, which has among the worst levels of air quality in the UK.”
