Red Squirrels always looking like they're about to politely interrupt

A Red Squirrel stands upright on the forest floor, tiny paws clasped neatly together as if waiting nervously to ask a question. Its wide eyes and hesitant posture give it an endearing, almost apologetic expression, as though feeling rather unsure about interrupting.

This morning’s Merlin walk included a redpoll, which is also Bird of the Day. We’ve not had any redpolls in the garden recently so I’m hoping It wasn’t a misidentification. Lovely little birds.

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun.

Thanks for sharing @markfaulkner24.bsky.social. This looks like fun. I’m a bit late to the party but I may give this a go as an excuse to research music from other countries.

It's been ages since I've done a #MusicChallenge, so in these times where unity is even more important, #EUrOcktober seems the perfect choice.

#writers First up is László Krasznahorkai inspired by his recent Nobel Prize for Literature award. I’ve not read any of his books and knew nothing about his work but having watched this video I’m going to have to add some to my TBR pile. #booksky

Back to @rtwparkrun.bsky.social after a double tourism weekend in Germany last week. I will be pacing 28 minutes today. A pacer day in October is a rare treat! #parkrun #loveparkrun

Royal Tunbridge Wells parkrun @rtwparkrun.bsky.social · 5d

Tomorrow we have our final pacer day of the year, so if you’re chasing a personal best, tomorrow could be a good opportunity before winter begins. We have volunteer pacers aiming to finish at most times from 20-41, plus 45 minutes, for you to chase.
