I spent my career chasing comets, asteroids and interstellar objects. I now do the same with kingfishers, which are much harder.

Another day in the office, another 2 new Near Earth #Asteroids discovered with the #nasa atlas project
Animation of 4 discovery images of new near Earth asteroid. Greyscale images show a lot of stars. A moving dot of light is highlighted by a cross as it moves across the sky.

3 days to go until the #BigGardenBirdwatch!

Last year’s 3rd most-spotted bird was the shimmering Starling. 😍

Will you spot one this weekend?

There's still time to sign up: https://buff.ly/4gXUE3y
A Starling, wings poised and feet stretched forward, is perfectly captured in mid-flight as it swoops towards a wooden perch. Its iridescent plumage glimmers with hints of green and purple, speckled with tiny white dots. The intensity of its focus and the blur of motion in its wings give this bird an air of determination, as if it’s on a very important mission.
