#Etna update 🌋
#INGV reported that a new eruptive vent has opened near Mt. Simone at ~2,100 m a.s.l., feeding a lava flow down the Valle del Bove. The most advanced front has reached 1,500–1,400 m a.s.l.
INGV teams are currently on site monitoring the flow’s evolution.

The popular Steppe Grey Shrike has relocated to coastal fields a few hundred m north of Gunwalloe Marsh. It gave fabulous views this morning (30th October) in the field adjacent to Pedn Gwinian lay-by. This is the second record for Cornwall and approx 30th for the UK.

Lesser Scaup at Helston boating lake (23rd Nov). Present since 4th November and also the female from 5th. Both seem content here and look set to winter with the local Tufted Ducks.

Trump spent a quarter of his 2025 days at golf clubs, costing taxpayers a whopping $110,600,000. Damn! You think he'd be better at golf by now.

Due to their intense drive, agility, focus, and trainability, Belgian Malinois’ are a highly sought-after police and military working dog.

Fox Squirrel after giving me an earful. This squirrel was in the yard when we brought our cats out (on leashes). The squirrel ran up onto a tree limb and began scolding me.

Yesterday, I finally found some robins eating berries. Yes, in this part of the world, where the “robins” are thrushes, they eat berries, unlike the original robins in Europe, that are flycatchers and eat bugs. Both bring joy to the season as #holidayrobin and we are grateful.

One of the more unique birds I got to photograph this year was a leucistic black-crowned night heron. In this photo I was able to capture its white feathers as it stretched its wings.

Went out to a local spot where there have been some eagles lately, and while there weren't as many this morning I did manage to capture this heron getting some breakfast.

This fall we had a celebrity bird visit that just about every photographer in the state came and took a photo of. Unlike many other birds it was not startled by the people and I really like this close up shot that I captured.

One of my favorite landscape photos of 2025, I think this was the third attempt at the shot when there was actually clouds in the sky.
