Jonathan Livingston Seagull, my constant workmate during the Covid pandemic attending all my online meetings and my radio interviews.. He still visits twice a day!
Currently on holiday in lovely #Northumbria enjoying the wildlife. Much to our amusement, the couple who have just arrived to stay next door are from Abram in #Makerfield constituency & having put in their postal votes have come away to escape the media attention! One for @jenwilliamsft.bsky.social
Our city centre dockland Coots have done very well over the last few years and today I managed to photograph this proud Mama Coot with her newly hatched first Cootling of 2026 ❤️❤️❤️
As I can attest from Jonathan Livingston Seagull known affectionately as JLS our “ pet”Herring Gull & the most famous Scouse avian resident after the Liver Birds … they are very intelligent creatures indeed & perfectly capable of outwitting mere hoomans😂
Huge tx to the fab staff at the historic & unique gem @gladlib.bsky.social Hawarden for a fascinating talk & tour plus scrumptious afternoon tea yesterday. If you’ve haven’t visited & love books this is the UK’s only residential library where you can “Sleep with the books” wonderful food too🏴 Cymru
Went out to the car this afternoon to find this unexpected winter visitor hanging out with our resident avian Canadian neighbours .. city centre Liverpool @rspb.bsky.social #barnaclegoose #birdphotography
It’s rather like Narnia in the Pool today but the ships are sailing as usual
Wishing everyone #frohesneuesjahr & #happyhogmanay we’re listening as always to the glorious music 🎵 of the Vienna Philharmonic may there be more music in your lives in 2025
Wishing all my followers on @bsky.app a very #MerryChristmas & peace, love & hope for 2025
