Lonesome Dove by him, is I believe one of the greatest novels.

Saw loads of wasps buzzing around tree on my walk today and thought there was a nest, but actually they must have responded to this wasp that was in the clutches of a Hornet. #wasps #hornet #insects #nature #wildlife
Yep, I believe that's the standard American name for them. It's interesting if you ask people from different countries they all have different names for them.

Nice to see some recently fledged Ringed Plover at Redcar this week - lovely scalloped feathers and less boldly masked than the adults. 🪶🐡 #wildlifeArt

If they used cattle to pull the stones, like they think at Stonehenge, wouldn't they use them to move the stones into position etc?
It is!
Thank you 🙏
Good Morning from Saguaro National Park ☀️🌵
It's surreal to read Keir Starmer's ten pledges from his time campaigning to be Labour leader in 2020, and to see just how far and fast he has fallen since then. It's like he gaslit our brains... (Link to Nitter archive so that you don't need to visit Musk's hellsite.) nitter.net/Keir_Starmer...
Thanks 🙏
I s'pose boring the locusts is better than using pesticides!
You're welcome 🙏

I reckon we've not had days of rain here since April. Just odd showers or wet days. Meant to be on and off the rest of the week here; hooray!
Wet stuff is falling out of the sky!
It's a misnomer. It's not a cap if they keep changing it!

Incredible!
Cesare Pavese — 'We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.' With the wild flowers found in our little side field. ❤️
I don't think there's any nesting near me. But used to see them on the Yorkshire Moors as a kid when I visited my grandparents.
