Very excited about #LFC right hand side. Jacquet & Araujo doing the job by any means necessary, then Barcola the epitome of pace & threat, and when he tires, bring Rio on to really give them the horrors. Lovely stuff.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #LMNO, any bird whose name starts with one of those letters. Here's a long-tailed tit. #birds #photography

Is it really 46 years since Howard Gayle's debut for #LFC?

Ruin a song by adding "In My Pants" to the title. It's Raining Men in my pants.

Looks like I missed some mad game for #LFC, but I'm just back from watching the mighty Steeleye Span at Buxton Opera House. Lovely venue, my favourite band, nothing not to like. First time seeing & hearing Athena Octavia on fiddle for Steeleye - she's some musician. Marvellous night.

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like. Henningsvær, Norway

Fly Home To South Africa, Please...

#BirdOfTheDay alt theme today is #Coots&Moorhens, so here's a common moorhen from Leighton Moss a couple of days ago. #birds #photography

There's one-offs, and then there was Wilko.

Very entertaining game of football, that. Jacquet + Araujo > van Dyke + Gomez Barcola obvious MotM for hat-trick, but Frimpong was absolutely fantastic - headed goal, how many assists(?) and defending. Rio's game has become so much better - much more variety in his play. #LFC

Before heading home this morning, I had a little sit down outside the visitor centre at Leighton Moss and was accosted by this pair of mallards who are clearly used to treats from visitors. #birds #phonephotography

Just back from RSPB Leighton Moss, where I finally saw some of these little guys. It's a male bearded reedling, and this is the first half-decent shot that came up, as I wade through 1,837 photos taken this morning. There may be more to come (hopefully). #birds #lifer #photography

From a complete layperson's point of view, this guy seems to talk a lot of sense.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LookingDown; any bird looking down/head lowered and the Alt. is #LookingUp; any bird looking up/head raised. For once, I'm doing them both in one post, with gannets at Bempton Cliffs earlier this year. #birds #photography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Brown, any bird with brown in its plumage, so here's a black-tailed godwit resplendent in its summer plumage, from back in July of this year. #birds #photography

Today's #BirdofTheDay theme is #Green, any birds or backgrounds that have green in them. This carrion crow was looking down on me the other day. #birds #photography

Well, that was a bit scary. Just installed firmware updates on both camera body and big wildlife lens. Both appear to have been successful. 📷 🤞

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Waders, so here's a great egret from yesterday. #birds #photography

Got a few shots of this great egret today. There were a lot of tall grasses and whatnot between me and the egret, so very few completely clear shots, but I like some of them anyway. #birds #photography

Still a few bees about, doing good work. #photography #flowers #bees

Pair of tufted ducks from this morning's walk. Female on left, male on right. #birds #photography

#BlueWater is today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, so here's an oystercatcher. #birds #photography

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlueSkies: any bird against a blue sky. I think this is a lesser black-backed gull. #birds #photography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestBeaks, which gives me an opportunity to share yet another shot of puffins from Lunga in May. #birds #photography

Tom Finney thought they were as good as any he'd seen, commenting after the game. #LFC

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BestOfTheMonth. Due to one thing and another, I've done very little photography this month, but just managed to sneak this one in on the 2nd - a long-tailed tit that I was really pleased to see. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #EFG, birds beginning with any of those letters (1st name) and the Alt theme is #Paridae, any of the species. I am therefore claiming a twofer with this Great tit, a member of the Paridae. #birds #photography

Would be cool if it grows back in some form.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background. I think this robin meets the brief. #birds #photography

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Seabirds so here's a puffin from my trip to Lunga in May. #birds #photography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Pairs, so here's a pair of teal. #birds #photography

About time.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borbs, birds looking plump, and the Alt theme is #Brown, birds with brown in their plumage, so I reckon this robin constitutes a twofer. #birds #photography

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #TheDivers so here's a great crested grebe. #birds #photography

Was in Asda earlier, they had mince pies. With a 'best before' date of 6th Nov. Just right if your family eats mince pies on Bonfire Night.

Of all the books we've been recommended for our #HumanistBookshelf, Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark has been recommended more than any other. It's easy to see why.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Raptors and the Alt is #Corvids. Turns out I got shots of both during a session at Willow Tree Fen, Lincolnshire, back in July. The raptor is a marsh harrier and the corvid, a carrion crow (probably). #birds #photography

This is cool - a new Royal Daffodil.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Redheads, any bird with a Red on its head/beak. This oystercatcher has a red beak and a red eye. #birds #photography

Hell yeh!

Gerry Gilet brilliant for the reds this afternoon. #LFC
