Lovely stroll up Cha Hu Shan (Teapot mountain) today, followed by a sunset sea swim on the way home.

Love how the old Yorkshire slang for tea that my grandparents used was 'cha', which no doubt comes from the Cantonese influence in the UK. I drank some Yorkshire Cha at the summit.

A record number of people are leaving the Philippines to work in Taiwanese semiconductor factories, where they face long shifts, low pay, unequal treatment and the threat of deportation, report Hsiuwen Liu and @michaelbeltran.bsky.social for @restofworld.org

Any chance of an ID on this bird drying its wings on the rocks in the intertidal zone?

My guess is an Egret.

As you can see it's an excellent photograph...

Construction on the pedestrianised walkway over the road to maritime plaza in Keelung.

Not my pic.

Lovely day for a sea swim today and I had the whole ocean to myself. I forgot my phone so no day time pics. Went home and showered and then we came back out to enjoy the sunset and evening.

"There’s a strong case for reintroducing lynx to Britain. Without large predators, deer populations have exploded, compounded by the breeding of red deer for shooting, as well as the introduction of non-native fallow, sika, muntjac and Chinese water deer."

Slapdash covert releases aside, Britain must get serious about lynx reintroduction
