The suggestion for #BirdoftheDay is #Birdsontwigs, this Carrion Crow took a few moments to get itself stable as it landed on the thinnest twigs at the top of this tree in Cardiff Bay #birds #birdingWales #UKbirding

A Carrion Crow perches, with some difficulty, on two very thin twigs at the top of a tree, it was finding it very difficult to balance

A vibrant red bird with a black mask and a spiky crest (a Northern cardinal) in floof mode tightly grasps a thin branch on a windy afternoon.

RIP to an absolute king. I’ve done Ros & Guil twice, and it partly inspired my play The Prince. What a legend 👑

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88

A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter

fish and mermen

Three gouache paintings of mermen.

Top left: Gouache painting of a merman with blue skin. He is holding a bright star close to his chest, and there are fish swimming towards it, as if inspecting it.

Top right: Gouache painting of a merman with green skin and fish tail. His tail is folded like knees and his head is resting on it, with both his arms crossed around it. He has a somber expression, like he's sleeping.

Bottom image: Gouache painting of a merman sitting on a clam-shell shaped couch. He has lime green hair and tail, and he's holding a margarita glass with red substance on it with a lime wedge on the rim. There are fish swimming around him.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a gorgeous piece of cinema like Guillermo’s Frankenstein 🖤
