No attempt at a smokescreen here in North Dorset - this by my cottage.
The hunt seen waiting in the gateway whilst a fox was chased out of a nearby garden, where it had been taking refuge.

A fascinating feeding strategy/observation yesterday. This male LSW was systematically removing Wood Ants from the top of an Oak tree in order to get to the aphids they were presumably protecting. Bsky video rendering doesn’t quite do it justice. @lesserspotnet.bsky.social #digiscope #birdsuk

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
Repost if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Thinking about the murdered United Healthcare CEO. Surely the best place for US authorities to start their investigation would be to go through a list of people whose loved ones suffered or died because their payments were denied. I mean, how long could it be?

Why did Labour MP Anna Dixon receive £2000 for her General Election campaign from Massoud Fouladi, the co-founder & medical director of Circle?
Circle is a large private healthcare company. Of note, Circle took over an NHS hospital in 2012 & then abandoned the contract after significant failings🚨

Important context here:

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.
Now let's see who's angry:
● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)
