I am quite sure that the Trumpsters who tried to overthrow the government on January 6 we're asked to stop. The police officers did not shoot them in the head.

This is very cheeky of me @richardkbroughton.bsky.social but would you be able to confirm these identifications? I've looked at books, tried the Merlin app and Google Lens but am still not 100% sure if the Linnets really are Linnets or are in fact Corn Buntings. I foolishly didn't pay enough 1/2

Can anyone confirm for me whether I have the correct IDs for these birds:
1. Linnet (female?)
2. Linnet (female - taking off?)
3. Corn Bunting
4. Linnet (male?)
Many thanks

There is something wrong about public procurement.

The Telegraph sides with Trump against the BBC and, so, the country.
Private Eye sums up its feeble-minded, fawning betrayal beautifully.

Spotted this dragonfly on a walk close to our south-west cambridgeshire village. I think it is a female Southern migrant hawker (Aeshna affinis) @britishdragonflies.bsky.social
Are they common in Cambridgshire?

A great example of the British Right finally catching up. Their primary objective of 'owning the libs' has hit brutal reality.
