Often found wandering around South Devon and Dartmoor lugging a camera and playing Jethro Tull songs in my head.

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk…

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

So the rain is falling and the wind has brought a ton of leaves down but the view outside my back door is still pretty colourful 😊

🪶🦉 It's easy to overlook the birds we see everyday but in the right light they can be just as beautiful as the more exotic species.

Ed Davey, "It's so frustrating, so infuriating that Nigel Farage gets such an easy ride from the media"

"As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others given Farage so much time and attention"

"But they never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done"

"The damage of Brexit"

Dartmoor was putting on a show today, black skies, sudden torrential squalls then glorious sunshine all in a few minutes. The B3212 stretching out yo Leather Tor on the left and Sharpitor on the right.

Here's a fact for you all.

Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK.

Not ONE.

This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit.

But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Still going through the hundreds of photos I took in The Farne Islands a few weeks ago, I think it's almost impossible to take a bad photo of a puffin, such beautiful birds. 🪶🦉

The heat was keeping most of the birds under cover but I guess this Marsh Harrier was hungry. 🪶🦉#birds #nature #rspb #hamwall #wildlifephotography #sonya6700

Went for an evening walk past a field and saw a few hares. Elusive things but got a few shots including one of a leveret hunkered down, stationary. Also spotted a yellowhammer although it was getting pretty dark by then.

I've never posted a monochrome bird photo before. There's something about the simplicity of this shot i think works better this way. Arctic Tern on Inner Farne 🐦🪶 #birds #nature #photography #sony #ukwildlife

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!
