A lovely afternoon out at Brockhole Wildlife Trust on Friday. Despite its proximity to the M6, it was still a peaceful place to be.
I think these two birds are nuthatches? Perhaps a twitcher can let me know - my bird knowledge is negligible!!

Reform and their media supporters are anti growth and very anti social mobility. They should be challenged on this frequently and directly.

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter.
People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government.
And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!
