Grumpy 💙 European 🪶

Birding and bird photography is how I keep sane in these insane times, a good overview of my bird photography are my contributions to #BirdOfTheDay: bsky.app/profile/did:...

The simplicity of simple interactions is underrated.

Un cortado, por favor.

Despicable. 🤮

Make it so. Also don't get fing complacent because you think „one vote doesn't matter“, and „he's leading so much in the polls“. VOTE. In numbers too big to manipulate.

Happy Sunday everyone! Atlanticbirding's #BirdOfTheDay theme for Helen is: #Larus , any species of Gull. Alt. is #Turdidae. When it comes to Larus, I'm heavily biased, although this is not a Larus by today's taxonomical standards: Audouin's gull it is. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

The real issue of all those „altruists“ who claim „abundance for all“ is that they never even try to address what causes the massive and growing inequality we see today.

There never was a RUSSIA HOAX. It's been Russia all along.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by Atlantic Birding is: #Dawn; any bird captured at sunrise Alt. is #Dusk; any bird captured at sunset This Merganser family photographed at dawn with 1/10 is one of my longest handheld bird captures. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by Rob is #Paridae, any of the species. The Alt theme is #Coots&Moorhens, any Coot or Moorhen will do. Busy day baking and cooking, so a Moorhen must do. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Just imagine 👇

Musk should be arrested and prosecuted in Den Hague.

Atlantic Birding's pretending to be Helen's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoreBirds Audouin's gull is primarily a fish eater, and pretty much restricted to mostly rocky shores, though I see it hunting on beaches as well.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from Atlantic Birding is: #LookingDown; any bird looking down/head lowered. Alt. is #LookingUp; any bird looking up/head raised. Not sure that I ever had a bird lowering his head more than this treecreeper in front of my window last Monday 😀 #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

I was not aware what these Space-X starts do to their neighborhood: youtube.com/shorts/xB6fF...

Looks like an ideal car for birders: You can move to the right without obstacle, and open the roof. I just hope you can lower the windows ;-) #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Rob wished a good morning: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Brown, any bird with Brown in its plumage. The Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage. After a bit of a pause I'm going with another twofer attempt with a blue rock thrush from Menorca. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

The goal was to provide cash for Putin, not to get Diesel for the US.

This. It's about normalizing it.

Every American should know this perspective on the US-Iran war: youtu.be/kKSPMcLjkO4?...

No AI for kids. Full stop.

Freya is a great communicator, can't recommend her YouTube channel enough, and I think her comment on AI coding is spot on.

Women are not nearly angry enough, not even close. Men should be scared of the women’s vote, which could decide each and every election. Still too many are “not into poltics”, or voting like they are told to by the men in their lifes.

How is that this is not even really be news? www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/nearly-eve...

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social said: Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlueSkies; Thekla's larks are nice little fellows, and I was happy to capture this #BIF recently on Menorca

Accurate.

What some Americans call Socialism is pretty much just the only reason to have people to vote their leaders.

It's an absolute disgrace.

Philosophic view on Stupidity. Highly recommended. youtu.be/HbQ-t8GXYTA?...

Oh, the sad thing that they probably believed them, but were not ready to destroy the careers of these men over such “minor allegations”.

What’s going on America? Somebody has to say it out loud. I keep asking that question in my office and in my car, and today I am putting it on paper because none of us gets to stay silent anymore. www.uncensoredobjection.com/p/whats-goin...

Today's #BirdOfTheDay by @helenbennett.bsky.social: Main is #BokehBirds, birds with soft, muted or blurry backgrounds, the Alt theme is #AwkwardAvian, birds in a silly, clumsy or strange position. This Thekla lark isn't awkward, yet from yesterday + blurry background. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Rob set today's topics: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Pairs, photos with pairs of the same species in them. The Alt theme is #Green, photos with Green in the backgrounds not on the birds. I'm going for a twofer with my personal wood pigeons pair in front of our room. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Self contained post:

Rob has set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, which is #Borbs, birds looking plump. The Alt theme is #Brown, birds with Brown in their plumage. Tufted ducklings certainly are brown, if they also tick the Borbisity box is up for the viewers to decide. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Atlantic Birding’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Raptors. Busy day, so a kestrel must do, though technically not a raptor in the narrower sense. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Rob says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Redheads, any bird with a Red on its head/beak. Pheasant are an old introduced species, but I should invest a bit more time in them. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

Crazy scandal around faked images in scientific journals, including Nature. These were done by old style image manipulation, now imagine throwing AI into the mix: youtu.be/4g_1_AWOVpI?...

Helen Bennett 's #BirdOfTheDay is #CaptionThatBird „WHAT are you long up here?“ #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶

That's why they should be called #TrumpEpsteinFiles

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social started the day with the #BirdOfTheDay themes: #Elegant; any elegant looking bird Alt is #Scruffy; any bird looking a bit worse for wear I'm going with a Magpie, which would also have been a great match for the recent #Iridescent theme. #Naturephotography #Birds 🪶
