Ectophasia crassipennis (the Twist-winged Parasite Fly) in Surrey.
Climate change means new populations of flies in the UK. The bottom of the food chain is on the move. #BugSKY

Living 'Down South' it was good to spot these two on a journey 'Up North' to Manchester. @rspb.bsky.social Coombes Valley & #Stokeport's Etherow Country Park.

Slyfield Industrial Park & Recycling Centre - Storks, Red Kites & Herring Gulls.
I would have chosen the more luxurious @kneppwilding.bsky.social personally, but they seem to have settled in.

Another sunny, cold day in Surrey. Good to see Redpolls, Siskin, Dartfords, and Goldcrests #RSPBFarnham #SurreyBirding #UKBirding

Don't see these very often in my part of Surrey, so a good start to the birding year #SurreyBirding #UKBirding

A beautiful morning for a bit of birding on a local patch #TicesMeadow #Surreybirding #UKbirding

Every heath I visit in Surrey has Crossbills - like buses, all come at once after waiting for ages #AshRanges #UKBirding #SurreyBirding. Redwings, Coal Tits & Goldcrests .. whilst the Dartfords & Stonechats were taking cover in the furze and heather.

The odd glimpse of sunshine on Thursley Common today. I fear that it will be raining until 2026 #EnglishWeather #DartfordWarbler & usual suspects #SurreyBirding

A real treat this book. A story of stories that weave together & flow in to the River Tigris.
The Epic of Gilgamesh being at the core of this story.

So much is written about the Epic and its relationship with the Hebrew Bible, most notably the Garden of Eden and Noah & the Arc. Fascinating stuff 👍

Air temperatures, soil temperatures and reanalyses all agree on how the UK’s climate has warmed & varied over the past decades.

Don’t listen to the usual critics who try to claim otherwise…
