Went for a stroll around Lake Głębokie, which is popular as a city bathing spot (the Polar Bear Club was out in force!) The lake is surrounded by mixed forest and includes several Natural Monuments, including this huge Oak (more info in ALT text). #ThickTrunkTuesday

Experienced a very overcast day at the beach in Świnoujście, where I had the chance to admire the wide range of Gulls - Black-headed & Herring, mostly, but also some interesting Mallard Gulls, Swan Gulls, Hooded Gulls & Pigeon Gulls 😹 Not surprising when you consider the Baltic’s low salt levels.

A day-trip to the seaside resort of Świnoujście resulted in this attractive find in the new seafront development that houses a couple of fancy-ish hotels and a water park, among the souvenir shops and cafes. #ManholeCoverMonday

This shot is not edited in any way but I love the almost 3D effect the back lighting has given. European Herring Gull with Black-headed Gulls in the background. Have a great Sunday everyone and thanks to the 2K plus people following me. #birds #birdsseenin2025 #birdphotography

On a recent visit to Poland, my brother remarked that Poles don’t do ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’ like Brits. This is true. Poles tend to be a bit more direct if they want people to do things. Hence ‘Put Your Phone Down and Live!’ on this crossing 😹

Polish post boxes must be some of the dullest on the planet, but luckily the Post Offices can be very attractive 😺 Here’s a typical 19th-century red-brick example, in the coastal resort of Świnoujście, with a rather attractive winter flower display of cabbages and chrysanthemums #PostboxSaturday

Please enjoy a moment of calm and wonder as you stop for just a second to admire this fantastic Oak in the Beech Forest Landscape Park, #Szczecin #ThickTrunkTuesday

Sunday lunch at a local restaurant. Never been before & probably won’t again - not that there was anything wrong with the food, it was very good. But like many small businesses, what’s its USP? You can’t just open a place & expect the customers to roll in. I bet it’s gone by the time we come back 😿

Today a walk on the other side of town - the tram line takes you to the Right Bank (Prawobrzeze), where it’s a short walk to Beech Forest Landscape Park. Most of the leaves have fallen now but that means you get a better view over Lake Dąbie in the distance & Emerald Lake in the foreground #Szczecin

Plastic pellets are often mistaken for fish eggs + eaten by sea creatures. Because plastic is so absorbent, it soaks up pollutants from water which are consumed along with them. These beads were being used at a wastewater treatment plant so who knows what they could have absorbed.

Was lucky to attend the Poland-Italy U21 Euro qualifier match held at #PogońSzczecin - great atmosphere orchestrated by our very own fans and an amazing 2-1 win! Afterwards had to go for a very traditional barszcz with pasties to warm up 😺

Since this week in Poland has been all about patriotism with Independence Day on Tuesday I thought I’d add a little local patriotism into the mix by the showing the Bydgoszcz city flag which they have displayed around the main square. Nice to see local civic pride 😺👍 #FlagsOnFriday #FridayFlags

My auntie got COVID during her stay in a sanatorium 400km from home. They told her she needs to leave within 24h, they don't care if she feels bad. Doctor told her "as she was ordered to leave she is no longer his patient".
But they offered her a solution to this problem:
