Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

I've just found the best hack. Swear in your search request. It's a great way to bypass the AI summary and make your search history look like you're chronically pissed off at everything!

My phone is an ancient potato which can’t do night photos so it picks up not much more than the naked eye. View from my balcony tonight is therefore pretty much this

Watched a Rhys Nicholson Christmas special while I wrapped presents last night. Rhys is just charming and hilarious without fail. I reckon I’d be entertained watching them wait in a GP clinic.
