Hi! 👋 I'm Shayne, an amateur bird/wildlife photographer based in Washington state. Here's a Pacific wren actively listening for the call of its people in between bouts of singing. One of the very first bird photos I took that turned out well! #addBirder #birds

Justin Leahy's research on non-native Red-vented Bulbuls in Houston, Texas, found that these birds occur at relatively low densities and that their range expansion in the region has been constrained by rivers and major freeways. #ornithology wilsonsociety.org/2026/01/06/g...

The only good thing so far about #StarTrekSA is Robert Picardo. Oh and Oded Fehr. Though his appearance has me worried Burham might turn up to monopolise screen time, and storyline.

@support.bsky.team why has this video upload had some noise added to it? The original only has the blue tit chirping, and a couple of clattering sounds from my phone hitting the slats on my blinds. The upload sounds like it's applied Autogain to the ambient background noise of distant traffic.
Woke up and heard a chattering outside. Delighted to see a Blue tit. Not sure what it was doing, scraping the twigs on this tree.
