If you can watch this and then think ‘I won’t share because that might be putting myself on the line’ then you know what you’d have done if you were in Germany when your Jewish neighbours were being loaded into to cattle trucks. Nothing. Please share - it’s our ‘I’m Spartacus moments

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.

Gotta start ‘em young! 😉

Baby Carrie was the youngest birder on today’s guided birdwatching walk around Regent’s Park. Here she is with mum and dad enjoying close views of a singing Goldcrest - the smallest bird in the UK!

Ruddy Shelduck ♂ (presumed escaped) in Osterley Park today, and he had adopted four Egyptian goslings. Very attentive parenting too; warning loudly when dogs approached, chased off a Coot and went after a Grey Heron and chased it off midair! #InterspeciesAdoption #LondonBirds #LowCarbonBirding

Skunk Anansie still going strong after 30+ years! They were brilliant at PRYZM last night, playing stuff from the new album plus a couple of anthems from the past too. Skin's voice=power! 🤘✊ #gigphotos

Yes-wit, pls! I think a Mar-wit would be a first for Western Palearctic, so a proper mega. The Hud-wit here was only an hour away while we were away on holiday down that way, but I resisted the urge to twitch it as the local birding at our off-grid eco cabin was sooo good!
