Nice cars but my wife's car bricked by an OTA software update on Friday rendering it unable to move- leaving down our steep drive in a most unedifying manner

While the high tides last week on the Wash were over a metre below that needed for a 'Spectacular', still a decent amount of activity if you were in right place at right time! #birds #ukwildlife

no problem - it's my bag! Iceland is there simply because the two tectonic plates are moving apart - there's a ridge runs all the way down the Atlantic and Iceland sits on a hotspot. This diagram illustrates - see how the Reykjanes is basically split in two and hence y so active

aye - go further north and you'll be fine! Google Hverir for this kind of thing ... the skyline is the boundary between the Eurasian and N American plates if that means anything to you?

and saddest place i have ever been - right on the end of the Reykjanes peninsula, statue of a now extinct Great Auk looking out towards the now collapsed stack where the last of its kind was killed by a Danish naturalist ffs

Returned to the Dyfi estuary with the 600mm lens hoping the Gt Northern Diver (Loon) was still there. It's a juvenile. Out of nowhere a Red-throated appeared - cue mayhem! For some reason @birdguides.bsky.social are not uploading my report, apologies all if you missed this bird #birds #ukwildlife

Kind of a high key treatment here in camera - almost a Christmas kind of vibe to this, but taken in September and the bird is a bit of a butcher - Red-backed Shrike, Whixall Moss, Shropshire #birds #ukwildlife

take the dog to Aberdyfi beach for a mad hour, just take the RF 24-70 rather than any bigger lens because there's never any birds there and then this is feeding 15 yds off the beach - so this pic at 70mm on the full frame R5. Aaaargh #birds #ukwildlife
