Ok I’m off to walk the dog and hit the mountains where the snow is still plentiful. Got to scratch that itch. 👇😁 I’ll catch up with the #BirdOfTheDay entries when I get back. Have a good one folks and if it’s snowy where you are, please take care and stay safe. 🙏🙏 #birds #EastCoastKin #photography

I hate touchscreens in cars.
Bring back the button!
Sorry China, the Germans are bringing buttons back! 😁
This is a picture of the dashboard of the upcoming, battery powered Volkswagen ID.Polo and it's got buttons for everything... sort of.
No word on costs, so I'm expecting it to beat the Chinese in terms of buttons, buuuuut not price...

@alan678.bsky.social has chosen #B&W for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, and #Sparrows for the Alt theme.

So here's a Kingfisher, Blue Tit, Black-headed Gull, and a pair of Tree Sparrows to cover both themes.

Dear AI bros, it's not AI itself we have a problem with, the kind that can detect cancers early or help people walk. May that continue. It's the content generation slop you foam at the mouth defending that we hate. It's theft and will never, EVER replace actual human creativity.

It doesn't get much more 'grounded' than a Ground Hornbill, or three. (South Luangwa NP) #BirdOfTheDay #Grounded
Here's hoping @alan678.bsky.social 's Christmas Shopping goes well.

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Grounded birds on the ground. The alternative is #HolidaySeason captures of birds that feel seasonal. Sorry I have to go in a while back evening as I have a day of “ I’m a man, of course I’m doing last minute shopping.”😂 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
