Finally watched #NickelBoys, disturbing story of racial injustice, based on real events, imaginatively told.

From Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer winning novel.

Nominated for this year’s Best Film #Oscar. Should have won, IMHO.

Graphs showing no change can still tell important stories.

New real time suicide figs from @OHID suggest little change since start of 2022.

Adding to evidence the 2023 rise reported by ONS last year was an artefact of how deaths are registered.

Great time of year at Llyn Llywenan, birds arriving for summer or passing through.

Star species today:
3 swifts - my first of 2025
2 common sandpipers (photo)
2 whimbrel
6 species of warbler inc Sedge (another 1st this year) & Cetti’s

Extraordinary health care episode in new series of #BlackMirror. Such an inventive programme.

Spoiler alert & TW: the ending is bleak.

Great wildlife on #Anglesey earlier this week:

lagoon at Cemlyn Bay.

Cattle egrets in flooded field at Valley.

White fronted goose, a visitor from Siberia, at Cors Ddyga reserve.
