Don't think I've ever seen a hairbrush lounging in a bush before, so here's the curio for your pleasure

Said a very grudging farewell to magnificent #Bosnia and Herzegovina last week, after a couple of months among the myriad mountains, meadows and sinkholes.

Met a whole bunch of interesting #conservation people, and I'm hoping to tell their stories soon.

Magnificent, ominous skies at FK Sarajevo v Zrinjski Mostar. Who needs fans in the ground anyway

I just don't think these particular #ultras have put much thought into their fearsome name.

As much as I would love these to be the real weekly numbers for my insect blog, there's evidently a bug-focused #AI scrapeathon at work. Urgh.

We all need a bit of #bloomscrolling right now, I'd say.

These pretties are from Bosnia and Herzegovina #floraofbluesky #BiH

Pushing and finger pointing already, at 14 mins in. Not much football.

Coming to you live from the Bosnian second tier, for, y'know, reasons
