Time for #MammalMonday with this beautiful Mum & Pup capture from Donna Nook, on the Lincolnshire coast. If you've never been it is a great venue to see the Grey Seals, from the fenced off area you are still very close to the action (long zoom not needed).

Chelsea fans are celebrating like they just won the league yet they tied and lost a spot in the table. It always make me laugh when ppl say Arsenal fans are the worst when Chelsea fans exist

How the hell does Cucarella not get any red cards in a season?

oh crap, where I am staying, the wifi doesn't seem to be very good, going to be a frustrating time from midnight till 0200 trying to watch the Arsenal without it buffering.

On our drive to our next birding location, spotted this bird of pray in the sky. Guide quickly pulled over. Most excited I had seen him. Apparently a Bonelli's Eagle is not a very common raptor in Thailand. #birdofprey #birdoftheday #bonellisEagle #eagle

My Gooner friends! Is it true that Spurs are changing their logo from a chicken on a basketball to Fish & Chips because they get BATTERED every where they go?

The theme is birds with berries in their beaks. Asian Fairy-Bluebird. Not the greatest or sharpest photo. Was hard to get a decent one but at least I can participate in today's challenge.

Did a little viewing of Chelsea last night. Here are a few potential vulnerabilities Arsenal could attack on Sunday. 🧵

This is a great read and makes it sound so easy/obvious how to win this game. But as always, football winds up being about execution.
I think Eze can develop into our “big game difference maker” because he’s excellent in high leverage moments & tends to get his final ball righ

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme (set by @robcrank68.bsky.social) is #Gannets - here's some seen at RSPB Bempton Cliffs Nature Reserve, East Riding of Yorkshire. Only been there once (a long long way from home), but it is such a fabulous place to watch from. (16.09.25) #birds #ukwildlife

Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is Gannets. Of you ever find yours in Western cape, go & visit Lambert's Bay, where there is a Cape Colony that breeds there every year. They have a hide really closes to thousands of Gannets. Closest I have ever been to a Gannet Colony. #gannets #birds

Yellow Breasted Buntings(non breeding plumage) in Flight. I set the shutter speed to 2000, iso at 1000. Engaged the full frame autofocus to try capture as many birds as possible. Pretty happy with the results. their population is being decimated as it's a delicacy in China. #BirdOfTheDay #bird

Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme is birds bathing in the #morninglight. This is what was taken at first light this morning in Doi Lang Upper Elevation in Northern Thailand. Spectacled Batwings. #lifer Loving my birding holiday before the wife joins for our holiday in Vietnam. #bird

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MorningLight a bird bathed in morning sunlight. The alternative is #strength birds showing their power. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Another photo of the Cooks's Swift. A bird native to South East Asia. I honestly can't believe how well the photo has come out. I've probably wasted thousands of photos trying to get a swift in flight.

Honestly it is not often that I feel I get a half decent photo of a swift in flight. But I'm happy with how this Cook's Swift came out. No editing, so obviously I could sharpen it up a lot. Seen today in Northern Thailand.

Good Morning Friends

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is all about #HeadShots, any Birds 'Close Up Capture'.

I've gone with a Cormorant, Whooper Swan, Glossy Ibis & Little Egret with lunch, captured at various venues.

That second half from Arsenal was fucking sensational. As good as you could possibly hope to put in against a team as good as this.

Bossed it 100%. Madueke with his first goal, and then Martinelli, no less than we deserved. And Bayern offered NOTHING after the break.

Hello Europe, we're Arsenal
