It's seven years today. I think of her every day and often think she would have something incisive to say about whatever noise is going on in the world.

In the run up to the 10th anniversary of Brexit I think we need to remember what was promised by the Brexiters and what threats they made about what would happen if we didn't leave.
Here's Farage 10 years ago this month.

We saw the Unthanks at Reading Concert Hall last night. They didn't play this one but they were still exquisite.
Seeing them perform Starless at Greenbelt Festival a few years back remains one of my all-time magic moments. youtube.com/watch?v=MTEq...

It's World Swift Day! ❤️
Swifts raise their chicks high in eaves or nestboxes, returning to the same site year after year.
When the young fledge, they launch into open air... & just keep going!
They’ll remain airborne for the next two or three years, until it’s time to breed themselves.
We are a brand new start-up, funded by our members, & this one story underscores how woefully under scrutinised our political class are. Please consider being part of changing that. Thank you! 🙏

One for the #birdinggear folks:
I have a Leica Trima tripod on which the plastic shims have shattered on two of the legs, meaning they easily fall off, when unclipped. @leicacamera.bsky.social no longer support this model. Any suggestions on how to remedy?
I was so pleased to see this Whiskered Tern on its brief visit to Berkshire this week. Found by Andy Merrick. This photo by Dave Rimes really shows it in all its glory. My 202nd Berkshire bird and what a cracker!

Redemption! 21 years after I Ieft Moor Green Lakes in near darkness 5 minutes too early to see Berkshire's first and only Whiskered Tern come into roost, I wasted no time getting along to see Andy Merrick's top find at Woolhampton GPs in the evening rush-hour! 😅
