Advent window 17. The St Kilda wren -Troglodytes troglodytes hirtensis - a unique sub species on the St Kilda archipelago . In the spring and summer the males can be heard singing all over the islands, defending their territories and making their presence felt.

What sort of shit is Trump?
Taking to socials to say such cruel and hurtful things about someone who has been murdered. Shameful.
People who support & defend him should take a long hard look at themselves. He is indefensible and abhorrent.

Make sure you post your cards in time for them to arrive before Christmas. The St Kilda post office was busy in the summer months with tourists sending postcards

I have a question for the press covering Trump — at what point does “I know nothing about it” stop being an acceptable answer to a legitimate question you know he knows plenty about?

Nothing says “vacation in the USA“ like deleting five years of social media in the departure lounge.

It is *extremely* unusual to discover the previously unknown tomb of a New Kingdom pharaoh in Egypt. Read how archaeologists pieced together that the burial belonged to Thutmose II!

The way the mainstream media cleans up Trump’s racist tirades has long passed the “they’re just making mistakes” phase. This is actively aiding and abetting a racist, tyrannical regime. The ‘mainstream media is the enemy.

Wow!
When we get a "normal" family again in the WH, a family that doesn't grift, take bribes, lie and use the govt to its maximum benefit, we'll be shocked. It'll be a major adjustment.
