If you can watch this and then think ‘I won’t share because that might be putting myself on the line’ then you know what you’d have done if you were in Germany when your Jewish neighbours were being loaded into to cattle trucks. Nothing. Please share - it’s our ‘I’m Spartacus moments
Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.

Baby Carrie was the youngest birder on today’s guided birdwatching walk around Regent’s Park. Here she is with mum and dad enjoying close views of a singing Goldcrest - the smallest bird in the UK!

Ruddy Shelduck ♂ (presumed escaped) in Osterley Park today, and he had adopted four Egyptian goslings. Very attentive parenting too; warning loudly when dogs approached, chased off a Coot and went after a Grey Heron and chased it off midair! #InterspeciesAdoption #LondonBirds #LowCarbonBirding

Delighted to see my first Swifts of the year today at KGV, but also a premium line up of Northern Wheatears (1f + 3m) on passage. Arctic tern, Little gull, Lesser whitethroat, Little ringed plover, Green sandpiper & Red-crested pochard joined the supporting cast. #LondonBirds #BirdMigration

Guided another lovely group of budding birders at Brent Reservoir today courtesy of CRT. Some of the best birds were before/after the walk, but nevertheless great views of courting Goldcrests, lingering Snipe plus patch FOY's for both Little ringed plover and Common whitethroat. #LondonBirds

Early start with @ionace.bsky.social and Sam L. and we hoped for migrants but we didn't expect to have 100+ Mediterranean Gulls mee-ow'ing over Rainham Marshes today. The largest flock was 35 (at least). Also a Barn Owl in a barney (😱!) with a Carrion Crow. #LondonBirds 😎

Adrian's photos are better than mine so I am going to quote tweet him. Absolutely superb set by The Tubs tonight - even more so given a new guitarist and a stand-in bassist. Definite gig of the year contender.
Well The Tubs have just set a pretty high benchmark for gigs this year!
