Saturday night among the auks - #razorbill and young - a privileged sight, as the handsome auk favours privacy in cliff ledges...
Unlike its "cousin", razorbills demand peace as a pair.

Turn a trip for errands into a magical adventure! #birds #naturediaries #shetland in May... Any bird can land, including a scarce visitor! #mandarinduck as exotic as last month's #purpleheron ... However, every bird counts on our planet. From the #europeannorthernwheatear to the #whooperswan . 🙏🏻🌿✨

7 May 1945-2025 #forgottendateinhistory replaced by 8 May... The end of total war 2 (in Europe) was signed in Reims (France) on that date. What history retained the 8 May instead...

Horrified by this Israelite legislature that breaches humanitarian aid to #Gaza civilians who never asked for such actions from a country [Israel] acting as a monster. #TheHague Court 🙏🏻.

Today, we celebrated the life of a great #shetland voice, friend and poet Christian S Tait. Light and love to her clan.
My memories of her rolling back to 20+ years, from both linguistic and creative realms. #ShetlandForwirds #WordPlay #booklaunch
Her voice and smile tattooed in my heart.
