Birding through the hellscape. Antrim: 166 World: 494 Increasingly concerned about AI
Nice surprise today. 10 Lapwing dropped in to the fields. Likely post breeding dispersal, they aren’t breeding here. #birds Every so often, something exciting happens on the lanes.
FOY Arctic Tern and Common Sandpiper at RSPB WOW today. 17 to go for 150, it’s looking good. Photo of a Lapwing. #birds #BirdingAntrim
YOUR AI ‘PHOTOGRAPHY’ LOOKS LIKE SHITE Says the Chiffchaff. You shall be judged for AI in bird photography
Can anyone help me with this caterpillar? Feeding on Ragwort. Portballintrae. Thanks
Ardgillan Parkrun! Very hilly, with a complicated course. Stunning scenery Thanks to all the volunteers!
Updating pinned post. Keen runner and fanatic Parkrunner Birding county Antrim and abroad. Loves heavy metal. All while hooked on caffeine.
I’m attempting to have the most liked photo on Bluesky Monarch Butterfly at Hobbiton, New Zealand. All reposts and likes welcome Real photography over AI. #photography
I have so many thoughts. Simply, the concept is too bonkers and camp, for the horror to be taken seriously
FOY Dipper this morning, on my morning run Record shot attached 21 to go for 150 this year #birds
Pain! killer! Pain! KILLER! Let the vinyl collection begin 😎 Found a record store in Enniskillen.
FOY Spotted Flycatcher and Snipe today at Slievenacloy Lovely to see orchids in bloom across the reserve. #birds
Ok, one more. Costa Rica, June 2024 Manuel Antonio I need help to ID this butterfly, thanks.
I need help identifying this butterfly July 31 2022 Portstewart Likely a Fritillary, which one?
Tymon Parkrun! Extremely flat and fast course. Well sign posted and marshalled 🫡 17:44, almost my fastest time this year.
Osprey seem to be absent from New Zealand, according to Ebird. You would think with the lakes across the South Island, it would be suitable for a few pairs.
Pomeroy Forest Parkrun! Slightly hilly, very scenic course! 18:38, and dry!!
I like the Load Album. Metallica’s 6th album is overhated, and possibly misunderstood. If any other band released Until It Sleeps, it would be their classic.
Here’s my footage of a Buller’s Albatross. New Zealand, March 2026 As part of the Doubtful Sound cruise.
Lifer Red Grouse up the Antrim Glens. #birds Skylarks still in song. 165 for County Antrim 24 to go for 150 this year.
The Bellbird has a similar song to the endemic Tui, it was fun to tell them apart.
Birded the Antrim Coast and Glens today. Black Guillemots still at Carnlough harbour Lifer Whinchat up the glens. #birds
Cuckoo from today. Glad to get a break from the rain to hear a Cuckoo. #birds

I need help with call ID. It sounded good for Spotted Flycatcher, without a sighting I can’t be sure. Thanks #birds.
What is going on Deezer. Metallica is not pop. The first 4 albums exist.
