Spent some time yhis morning watching the turtles in Argostoli bay. Stunning wildlife spectacle. #turtles #wildlifephotography #kefalonia #sealife #naturalworld
Agreed. My son has said since day one amorim is not for this job. I thought he was but am now reluctantly agreeing with my lads opinion.
Correct. The very best coaches adapt to counter and beat what they're against. Amorim stubbornly believes his system is right when the rest of the world, utd directors excepted, can see it's bollocks.
Amorims system is shite. Top teams don't use it. Will get occasional good result if the whole team is on it.

Reform UK was created to make Brexit happen. Nigel Farage spent 27yrs promising Brexit would make British people richer. Now both Nigel Farage & Reform Party officials say Brexit, their main policy, is making Brits poorer. ANYONE WHO STILL BACKS REFORM IS A TRAITOR TO THE UK!
Love Ghirandaio. His adoration of the magi in the ospidale degli innocenti is mind blowing. I have to see it every time I visit Florence.
Looking right at you from 1480, Saint Jerome, in his spiritual study filled w wonderful material things, By Domenico Ghirlandaio, whose day was today.
Definitely a year or two. Three tops. š¤Ŗš¤Ŗš¤Ŗš¤Ŗš
Thank you
Down to Suffolk this morning to see the Zitting Cisticola at Walberswick. Distant flight views only so no photos. This one was taken in Spain by @paulcoombes844.bsky.social My #400th species in the UK #birds #birdingUK ##rarebirds

Mint moth in the garden this afternoon. #macro ##macrophotography #insect #insectphotography #moths
Couple of hoverfly close ups from this afternoon in the garden. #macrophotography #insectphotography #wildlife
New macro lens arrived today. Could be fun when birding is quiet. #macro #macrophotography #insects #bees #wildlifephotography #naturephotography
Too hot to do much today so sat in the garden witha cold beer or two and had a go at macro. Not got the right lenses but not too bad for a first try. #macro #insectphotography
Andy Burnham has called on Labour MPs to vote down governmentās welfare cuts ā despite Keir Starmerās attempts to buy off his backbench rebels. The Manchester mayor said the prime minister had only performed āhalf a U-turnā, which did not go far enough www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/andy-b...
I agree with Rod give Farage a chance. I'd give the frog faced twat at least a 30 second head start before I let the dogs loose.
Not at the front for a change but still gonna be a great night. Hey @flavorflav.bsky.social give us up top a shout.
Heading down to London shortly. @publicenemyno1.bsky.social @chuckdpe.bsky.social @flavorflav.bsky.social at the Royal Albert Hall tonight. Monie Love supporting. Gonna be a top night. Yeah Boiii!!
Reed warblers feeding a cuckoo chick totally oblivious to the fact that it's now bigger than they are. #birds #birdphotography
Never ceases to amaze me that the reed warblers don't realise its a cuckoo not a baby reed warbler. #birds #birdphotography
At lincoln castle for our annual fix of @wearejames.bsky.social live. Know it's going to be a great one. It always is.
Song sparrow not in North America this one has turned on the coast of Yorkshire UK. Cracking bird. @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #birds #rarebirdsUK #birdinguk
An evening with the nightjars this evening. This female was sitting tight so a couple of pics with the long lens then backed off. #birds #UKbirding #birdphotography
Stopped putting it out some time ago as it was not being eaten despite refreshing it periodically.
Mine will never touch nyger if there's sunflower hearts on offer.
One trapped in North Notts last night by Paul Coombs.
Five hours at Wykeham Raptor viewpoint this morning. Only one brief flypast and then when it was very cloudy. Still got a couple of pics #birds #BirdingUK #RareBirdsUK #YorkshireBirding
Relegation was worse b ut this feels almost as bad especially as there doesn't appear to be any light at the end of the tunnel
Finally caught up with the North Gareth dotterels this morning. Stunning birds. #bbcspringwatch #BBCWildlifePOTD #birding #birdphotography #ukbirding
No mate
You're most welcome mate.
@djrlincsbirder.bsky.social barnacle goose in with grey lags on belton park golf course this afternoon. Couldn't see any rings on the bird.
Back to the Peak District for more time with the wood warblers. This male sang non stop all the time I watched him. #BBCWildlifePOTD #bbcspringwatch #birds #birdphotography
Andy, am currently working on the electronic equivalent of a staffy. Once I get it perfected I will share it with you. may take some time though as I'm tech ignorant. š¤£š¤£
Wood warblers are back in the Peak District UK soI spent an hour watching them this morning. #bird #birdwatching #BirdingUK/IRE #birdphotography #bbcspringwatch #ukbirding
Caught up with the adult spotted sandpiper at Grafham Water today. What a stunner. #birds #BirdsSeenIn2025 #RareBirdsUK #birdphotography #bbcspringwatch
Thought so. First new visitor to the garden pond. A good start.
Wildlife pond up and running just need the plants to get established Second pic is of this beast that's just been attracted by the water. Not sure but think it's a hornet.
I've been meaning to put one in for a year. It took me a while to get myself into gear
As soon as I turn my back he's behind me hunting for worms. Not bothered about me. I just give him a few metres and leave him to it.
Operation pond has begun. With my work being regularly inspected by the local blackbird who looks like he is being well paid. #birds #gardenpond
Two steps forward 3 steps and a f***ing orange man child backwards I'm afraid
Great tune. Seen it live a couple of times. Sadly no more. RIP Maxie
Slavonian grebe at St Aidens this morning. A very smart bird. #birds #birding #birdphotography #BirdsSeenIn2025
A few flight shots from this morning. The kestrel flew off happy the vole less so. #bird #BBCWildlifePOTD #birding #BirdsSeenIn2025 #birdphotography

Final morning's birding and a flock of collared pratincoles dropped onto the marsh. Stunning birds and what a way to end my week on Cyprus. #bird #birding #BirdsSeenIn2025 #birdphotography
In the hotel room this evening when news came in that 3 blue cheeked bee eaters had been seen at Akrotiri. One quick dash later. #birds ##rarebirds #birding ##birdphotography

A quick trip to Winteringham after work today. Finally got half decent views of the Eastern yellow wagtail. A cracking little bird. Also had a chat with Dave Roberts. Good to see him again. #birds #rarebirds
@dkbphoto.bsky.social do you reckon our Jane's got a pair in her garden?
Here's a few bearded vulture flight shots not previously published. Awesome birds. All taken in the Spanish Pyrenees last year. #birds #raptors
Surely Toby Collyer has to be close to being a regular starter for utd. Top player.
Been very few sightings of waxwings in the UK this winter. So here's a few from last year. Always a good bird to see. #birds #UKbirding #birdphotography
Still going through the photos of last week's White-billed diver. Fantastic bird that gave great views. #birds #UKbirding #rarebirds #birdphotography #sonyA1
I got exactly the same stunning views on Friday. Couldn't believe how confiding the bird was. Cracking photos by the way.
Stunning views. It swam from the opposite of the lake to where I was stood and started fishing about 20 yards away. Amazing morning.
Caught up with the White-billed diver at Druridge Country Park this morning. Here's my contribution to the myriad of photos of it on here. #birding #ukbirding #rarebirds
Im going have a ride up for it tomorrow so all being well will have a few to add as well.
Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldnāt have crashed the economy. Please donāt share.
Quote of 25 so far. Roy Keane. Trent? Schoolboy defending. They're talking about Real Madrid. After that he'll be lucky to get Tranmere Rovers. Brilliant. š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ #mufc #utd
Hi Ewan I always go to Buseu. It is the best place to see them. I had 10 birds on the ground together this year. Paid hides but well worth it. Bearded vultures down to 5 metres. Oh and jordi the owner is a top bloke.
Finished 2024 with 16 uk lifers now on 393. Also went to Spain for bearded vultures for the first time since 2020, a trip to Ireland for the yellow crowned night heron and first time birding cyprus. Happy new year #birds #ukbirding #rarebirds
Same number of lifers as me. Well done. Happy new year mate. See you in 25.
Down to Kent this morning for the American Yellow warbler that's turned up there. Six hour wait but it finally showed. Got a couple of record shots in very poor light. #birds #rarebirds #ukbirding #birdphotography
Booked to go there next year mate. Not a birding holiday though.
Thank you
Great Northern Diver at Scarborough Harbour this morning. Spent a couple of hours watching it find plenty to eat. #birds #ukbirding #birdphotography
Juvenile glaucous gulll at Old Hunstanton yesterday morning.its been feeding on a seal carcass for a few days now. Not too far to walk on the beach to see the bird which was good as the wind was gusting to over 40mph. #birds #ukbirding #rarebirds
Was there yesterday morning as well. Must have missed each by only a few minutes
I was there behind the goal. Uncovered terrace and it was pouring down. Got soaked but it was worth it.

And they even has the decency to synchronise their wingbeats. š. Nice shot mate.
From a Sporting fan š Hopefully, every #United fan understands this.

Remember, itās okay for radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers. But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app thatās starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber. NO NO NO NOT FAIR! š š
