Been busy and not found time for social media for a while. Worth sharing today’s walk though. 9 miles and saw spotted flycatcher, heard a goshawk, saw a firecrest and then at the end of the walk spotted this beauty. #cornwall #birding #ottering

Took 7 year old to the park. Played IRAH- Gunfinger (salute) on the way. He said “we can enjoy music but don’t need to be the loudest car”.
I now know which of us has the most mature outlook 😔
(We both bugged out to the baseline 🙌)

Other than sexual assault, Trump has literally nothing to do with the Catholic Church. 😬

Lazy morning, late lunch, and a walk along the Atlantic coast. Big swell but warm sun and a gentle breeze. Perfect Sunday stuff #cornwall
Pink thrift flowers in full bloom on a grassy clifftop, overlooking a sparkling blue sea and rugged coastal cliffs under a bright, sunny sky. Rocky cliffs covered in lush green grass overlooking the turquoise sea, with large sea stacks rising from the crashing waves under a bright sky dotted with soft clouds. Dramatic rocky cliffs with green grassy tops jutting into the sea, waves crashing below and a winding coastal path visible along the clifftop. Powerful waves crashing against rocky outcrops, with a grassy foreground and the endless ocean stretching out under a bright but slightly hazy sky.

Some great birds about over the Easter weekend. Cuckoo, Redstart, Tree Pippit, and I promise that’s a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker 😆 #ukbirds #uknature 🪶
Cuckoo: A slate-grey cuckoo stands low on a grassy patch, its yellow eye alert and a green caterpillar dangling from its slightly open bill. The bird’s pale, finely barred underparts contrast with the short green grass. Common Redstart: A male common redstart sits among lichen-covered branches, its slate-grey head and back set off by a bright orange chest and belly. A bold white forehead patch stands out against the dark face, with fresh green leaf buds around it. Tree Pipit: A small, slender tree pipit perches on the tip of a bare twig against a clear blue sky. Its brown-streaked upperparts and pale underbelly are visible as it raises its beak in song, tail pointing down and delicate feet gripping the branch. Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (blurred): A small lesser spotted woodpecker is perched on a gnarled bare branch, but the image is out of focus. You can just make out its compact shape and faint black-and-white barring against an overcast sky.

Met an ancient wise man in the woods.
He said, “The Way (道) teaches balance — between man and nature, rich and poor, desire and contentment. Capitalism knows not balance, only growth. And growth without end is not the cycle of life, but the beginning of decay.”
…which seemed reasonable to me🤔
A small, colourful ceramic figurine of an elderly person with a long white beard sits on a moss-covered tree trunk in a woodland setting. The figure is dressed in a patterned robe with red, pink, and blue tones and appears to be holding a book or scroll. Surrounding the statue are twisted branches, ivy, and lush green moss

Well this is a mighty fine, if rather solitary tree. So majestic it was worth sharing.
A tall, solitary pine tree stands in the middle of a green field under a clear blue sky. The tree has a long, straight trunk with a wide, rounded canopy of dark green needles at the top. In the background, there are rolling hills, hedgerows, and a mix of leafless and evergreen trees.

It’s honestly so confusing now what’s meant to go in which bin, and the different colours from each council, easy to see how this mistake was made.

Not a great photo but always a treat to see a bittern. There are approximately 80 breeding males in the UK, but in winter, numbers increase to approximately 600 birds. This one at College Reservoir #Cornwall
#UKnature #UKwildlife #UKbirds 🪶
A bittern stands partially concealed among tall green reeds. Its plumage is mottled with shades of brown, beige, and black, providing effective camouflage in its natural wetland habitat. Its neck is stretched upwards and its beak points forward, typical of its alert and stealthy posture.

- Do Not Disturb -
(This encounter clearly excited me more than the deer)
#nature #wildlife
A light-coloured fallow deer is curled up on the forest floor, resting with its eyes partially closed. Its fur is a soft, creamy shade with faint white spots. The deer is surrounded by green ivy and fallen autumn leaves in shades of orange and brown. A tree trunk with ivy climbing up its bark stands nearby, adding to the woodland setting.

Hey @coldwarsteve.bsky.social is this one of yours?
(I usually take alt text seriously but I asked AI to give me text for this photo and don’t have the heart to correct it.)
“A digitally manipulated image of a tweet from “The White House” Twitter account features a man in a dark pinstripe suit posing with clenched fists in front of two framed portraits on a beige wall. The portraits depict former U.S. President Donald Trump and another man in a suit. The tweet includes a shamrock emoji and the handle “@TheNotoriousMMA,” which refers to Conor McGregor. The image appears to be an edited or satirical post, as the setting and elements are unlikely to be official.”

Waitress: Here’s your sticky toffee pudding sir.
Me: Wonderful, thank you. Could I have some clotted cream on top?
Waitress: Of course. I’ll take it back to the kitchen…
A plate of sticky toffee pudding is served on a white dish, drizzled with a generous amount of toffee sauce. The dark brown sponge cake appears moist and rich, with a glossy glaze from the sauce. A small white RAMEKIN filled with a scoop of clotted cream HAS BEEN PLACED ON TOP of the pudding. The plate is dusted with powdered sugar, and the dish is placed on a wooden table with a menu partially visible in the background.

A few of my old mobile phones. In the case of nuclear war, any survivors are welcome to come use my 3310.
A collection of my old mobile phones laid out in a row on a grey carpet. The phones are from various manufacturers, including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, and Vodafone. They represent different designs from the early 2000s, such as candy bar, slider, and flip phones. The devices show signs of wear, with some having scratched or faded screens. The collection includes some iconic models like the Nokia 3310 and various Sony Ericsson models.
