@mikepnature I was wondering what took you so long Mike!
@KirstyMartuccio @mcsuk @EuroCetSoc @whalesorg Hi Kirsty & Martin, I have a very similar vertebra which I brought back (prob. illegally) many years ago from NZ. Naturalists there identified it as a Pilot Whale. This seems the most likely. It still adorns our study window sill.
Simon Boyes retweeted
3 years ago. We miss Douglas so much. Thank you all for your your support

BREAKING: Tim Walz just spoke at Aliquippa High School’s Football Practice. That Walz can walk into a football practice and communicate like this makes him one of the strongest communicators in the Democratic party. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Sickening to see a birder promoting the right wing scum that are rioting criminals. Protest does not look like this. If you follow this racist please block him, if not block me. I want nothing to do with anyone who supports these criminals.

Iberian Chiffchaff, Normandy, 16 May 2024, thanks to Sebastien Prevost. A new bird for me - quite a different song from ours.

@woodlandbirder That's just the kind of habitat I've seen them nesting in, in old Redwings' nests, in Estonia and Belarus.
