New record for the oldest Barn Owl in Britain and Ireland! 😮 At 18 years old the female was ringed in 2007 in Nottinghamshire when she was a chick before being recorded again in Lincolnshire this year! Read the full story ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/a... #Ornithology #BirdRinging 🪶
The face of a Barn Owl peeks around the brick wall of a barn as it perches on the building window ledge.

Read books. There are plenty of titles and authors from many sources. Read 'Everything I need to know I learned in Kindergarten' and share it with your loved ones. It is about civility if you have not read it.
It will take the rest of my life to finish all of the books on my list. Read.

Changing my profile pic to show Coo, my mascot, on a recent trip to Vienna when we went to the Spanish Riding School to watch the dancing horses.

The Lipizzan horses are beautiful. The performance was outstanding to watch, and the tour of the stables very informative.

Highly recommend.

Watching an old BBC episode of "our changing planet" on repopulating warm and cold coral reefs.
Healthy #CoralReefs can absorb about 95% of wave energy - yet reefs are being destroyed despite the protection they give to coastal areas.
Humans are stupid.

I don't want to be a alarmist, but people in red states might want to be careful when buying pregnancy tests, too. E.g., have someone else buy them for you, paying cash. It would make it harder for them to prove mens rea in the event of some BS prosecution over a miscarriage or whatever.

Think this is the only "Blue sky" I've interacted with in the last 40 or so hours.
Nothing but #rain, followed by some drizzle, a bit of a shower between the rain.

Still got a week of it to go, so glad I bought some Vit D to keep me going.
