Right: John Bercow tears into Nigel Farage on gb news

"With Nigel, instead of taking it on the chin and recognising that in fact to date Brexit has been a grotesque blunder on the biggest foreign policy mistake in the post war period"

"What Nigel wants to do, because he can't abandon the religiosity of his life long support for Brexit, is to blame someone else"

"It's mysterious forces. It's a fifth or sixth estate. It's those machiavellian types working night and day to frustrate the will of the British people"

"It is nonsense on stilts, and to be honest, I say to you in all politeness and candour: you can do a bit better than that"

"Why not start by admitting first that people are poorer, wages are down, foreign direct investment has slumped, sterling has taken a permanent 10% dip, the economy has been hit to the tune of £100 billion a year"

Took a trip out to Worth Marsh RSPB with ⁦@RobRackliffe⁩ looking for and finding 2 X Red-footed Falcon (phone scope image attached) 2 x Hobby and 1 x White-tailed Eagle, a county tick. With a total of 68 species it was a very successful morning.

Our first full day in Ohio State USA was a wet one, although not a complete washout as we birded from the car, traveling to several state reserves we picked up 4 lifers and managed a few images on the way; House Martin, Great-Blue Heron, Eastern Kingbird & Downy Woodpecker.
