Today's #BirdOfTheDay is going to be all about 'Sea Birds' and the Alternative will be 'Robins'.

So here's a pair of Herring Gulls, Fulmar European Shag & Bridled Guillemot captured on the Inner Farne Cruise off the Northumberland Coast.

Snapped this fantastic Scottish wildcat in action at the British Wildlife Centre yesterday. They're doing some brilliant conservation work there to protect these incredible cats, definitely worth a visit if you've never been.

It was written in the stars.

"Humphrey has been fixated with baby names since she can remember. As a little girl she would give her dolls unique names and always wanted to know why her aunts and uncles chose the names they did for her cousins."

Happy #Invertober day 2!

Red-banded leafhopper (Graphocephala coccinea)

Digital drawing of a Red-banded leafhopper (Graphocephala coccinea) perched on a branch amid fanciful looking yellow flowers that reflect the same color as the insect's head, belly, and legs. The insect has strikingly colorful wings in a swirly pattern of turquoise and deep pink.

One for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #AllWeathers
Sharing the moment when I spotted this gorgeous Long-Tailed Silky Flycatcher eating berries in the pouring rain. We'd stopped for coffee on our journey back to the airport in Costa Rica so to see it then was so special! 💛 📷 🪶

You saw the death and harm wreaked by the pandemic as a chance to steal our money. How dare you?

It's easy to mock this stuff, but see also Farage whining about Reform being described as racist, through lens of "but that puts us at risk!" Funny how suddenly a bunch of right wingers have hit upon "criticising us is basically incitement to violence", wonderful times
