Beautiful evening bike ride. Wheatear wasn’t a surprise, a Green sandpiper was. This individual was settling down around the pool near the crossroads at the Valley of the Stones NNR.

Stunning noctilucent clouds this evening. Screaming swifts so low earlier I could hear their wings furiously beating. High summer.

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on.

Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.

Mind blowing..

Speed of light = 3x10⁸m/s

The most snow we’ve had in over five years. Fully expecting some plover/lapwing about but instead had a swallow heading south in almost blizzard like conditions. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

Waxcap ID help required - I’m thinking Citrine? @waxcapscooch.bsky.social put me out of my misery!

First post on here and making no apologies for a quick phone photo from the car, but some of an estimated half 15000 wood pigeons covering every tree available at Shatcombe this morning. Never seen stationary numbers anywhere near this.
