European Storm Petrel sonogram from Mousa, Shetland last night. That chaotic bit at the end is where a bird whacked me on the back of the head and temporarily thought my hood might be a cosy place to rest. #peakybirders #greatnorthernadventure #mousa #shetland #stormpetrel

European Storm Petrels (or Alamooties as they call them up here) coming in off the sea to Mousa broch. Footage taken with Zeiss DTI 3/25 thermal imager. #peakybirders #greatnorthernadventure #mousa #shetland #thermalbirding

The sound of the ‘Alamootie’ during the ‘simmer dim’. Around 14,000 pairs of European Storm Petrel breed on Mousa. Such a privilege to spend time with them. #peakybirders #greatnorthernadventure #Mousa #ShetlandIslands

If you've ever wondered just how small Red-necked Phalaropes really are, they're this small ⬇️ Mallard duckling for size comparison...

This could only happen on Shetland. I’ve now had four species of ‘grassbirds’ on the islands: Savi’s Warbler (below) plus River Warbler, Lanceolated Warbler and Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler on previous visits. I’m just missing the lowly ‘Gropper’ to complete the set! #shetland

Nice one Barnsley! #fuckfarage #antifascist #antifa #antifascismo

Rishi has that much money, he’s only gone and built himself a Death Star. I fear that if the tories lose the election, he’ll destroy earth and flee to the verdant tax haven of Endor. #ToriesOut #ToriesOutNow #elections2024 #ToryScumOut #starwars #deathstar

⚠️WARNING⚠️ This is what watching the England team can do to you. 😀 #EURo2024 #england #football

I stumbled across this Scarlet Tiger (Callimorpha dominula) moth in my North Warwickshire garden yesterday. A new species for the back yard. #mothuk #teammoth #mothsmatter #mothsandbutterflies

When you’re finally fed up of ‘dogging’ on Cannock Chase, there are always a few nice birds to see. #peakybirders #asbobirders #beastiebirders #birdwatching #britishbirds

If you squint your eyes slightly, this is like watching Leeds vs Wimbledon from 1992! #cowardlylions #ingalund #UEFAEuro2024

I know how to get England to play with grit and determination. Just stick a red cross in each of the four white bits on the flag of St George. Simple! #UefaEuro2024 #ingalund #georgiafootball

England sickens me! Die out you miserable old bastards.

T*RIES OUT! #ToriesOut #ToriesBrokeBritain #ToryApocalypse #TorySewageParty

Nigel Führage. You’re not the voice of England’s unheard and downtrodden. You represent that miserable, lobotomized, Mail cliché, spewing cunt down the pub who everyone tries to avoid. May your next five years be filled with flying milkshake and dry cleaning bills. #deformUK

I need to lay off the Co-codamol. I had a dream last night that I twitched an American Woodcock on a Skegness caravan site. I arrived via steam train, arm-in-arm with Martine McCutcheon who was dressed as a 1950’s movie starlet! 💊 #twitchertripper #peakybirders

I’m off to Threads. Too many c*nts knocking around on here….. including ‘Ego Musk’. #Threads #Twitter #fuckMusk
