Orkney Bird Report 2023 now out! 😮💨
I’m so pleased to see my first report out since I took over as county bird recorder last year and latterly, and unexpectedly, as report editor. See Orkney birding and wildlife Facebook groups for availability or DM for info.

I almost choked on my bagel when I saw this naked-eye flying past my kitchen window this morning. Thankfully it stayed around until I could get my bins (and camera) on it to confirm it as an aberrant Common Swift. It has a feather in its mouth to make it look even weirder!

Thank you so much for your orders! Posters are heading to destinations on 5 continents! Any interest from Africa/Antarctica? My offer lives for 1 more week: if you retweet this post, I will put your name in a hat, and draw a winner, and paint one bird from the poster for you.

Apparently Filip De Ruwe succeeded in readably photographing the code (see insert) of the Canadian-ringed Ross Goose wintering in Belgium with its partner(?). Someone kindly forwarded me the collage he made with the information he obtained from the ringers.

The US abandons any shred of humanity it might have had in support of genocide.....

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

Blue whales recorded in the North Sea off Newcastle in Nov 2020 in 76m of water, by Lavallin et al., 2023. VERY unexpected!

The RSPB trustee who forced their reverse ferret on calling out the Government's mendacity over its abandonment of the "nutrient neutrality" rules, is a Senior fellow at Policy Exchange, the dark-funded Tufton Street Thinktank that Michael Gove co-founded. He also worked there.

DOUBLE LUNGE FEEDING FIN WHALES 🐋
Totally stunned, we watched 2 fin whales lunge feeding at the surface for around 30 mins. Dolphins, bluefin tuna and seabirds rounded up the shoals of fish into baitballs, allowing this incredible feeding event to take place in the Celtic Sea. – at Wales, United Kingdom

Basking sharks. An exceptional year in the Inner Moray Firth. 34 counted at one time but likely more. Taken on a GoPro from Ecoventures.co.uk boat on 23 Aug.

Morning 🤍
Touched a Tory nerve? Marvellous 👍🏼
Telegraph with 2nd poorly written piece in 24 hrs from an obsessed GB News presenter called Camilla 🤷🏼♀️
Excellent... it's given me an idea 🙋🏼♀️ RT
TACTICAL VOTING WEBSITE Stopthetories.vote (sign up NOW)
When we go live for GE, we'll upload intense scrutiny of all Tory MPs, their voting, their scandals, their specific links to PPE, the activities of their businesses, the activities of those they've received donations from, their second jobs, their U turns and so much more.
Then voters can see them 👀 through facts, and make their own minds up. Can't wait 👍🏼
All ideas welcome 🤍
