@Rambaudian @JAHeale And the duckling population…

@Birdsbirdbird @JAHeale In celebration of the Aberdeen South by election result?

@ScotGamekeepers Seen on SGA landrover today in Highlands. As a former RAF fighter guy, thoroughly approve…. @GWCT @NationalGamekee

@AlexTran677026 The opening sentence of E V Rieu’s translation of the Iliad reads ‘The wrath of Achilles…’. It’s all about Achillies.

@SkyNews Moreover, it is not yet clear whether it was shot down, or suffered a mechanical failure. Whether a ‘SAM’ trap was involved or not is also only conjecture. Stop speculating and report the facts ie F-15E has crashed in SW Iran, one crewmember has been recused. More to follow….

[Keith Cowieson @KCowieson]

@SkyNews Sky, the F-15E is crewed by one Pilot and one Weapon System Officer (WSO). It is not yet clear, outside of the USAF, whether it is the pilot or WSO

@BLackgold_5 Assisted dying attempt?

[Keith Cowieson @KCowieson]

@curlewcalls Sounds like an ill-conceived, inadequately researched attempt at ‘biodiversity offsetting’. Was it pitched in those terms? If so, you should seek NE’s view, as well as alerting them to the implied threat to the site. And very well done for making the morally correct decision!

Same diggers?

Upsetting to see: 2 Nightjar chicks killed by a cat inside a nature reserve. These spaces should be safe for wildlife, yet roaming cats pose a real threat. Please keep cats indoors or in secure spaces to protect vulnerable species. #WildlifeConservation #CatsIndoors

@ElmleyNNR Great initiative! Where were the eggs sourced from? RAF bases or elsewhere?

@DefendourJuries I oppose genocide, I support action in Palestine

@SongBirdSBS Apparently the ‘red’ dandelion was a great talking point? Not to mention the DT News Bulletin & associated Leader on Thursday - https://t.co/x00OwlAyjr

@MurrayOrchard @smp_seabirds GBBGs larder? Seen similar in ARCT & CORM colonies in Orkney.

@DEBALMER @BBS_birds Spoiled here in Cornwall, small herds of northward-bound whimbrel in both my squares yesterday and today

@GrahamFAppleton @numenini @Fuglavernd @curlewcalls @GlobalFlyway @WaderStudy @BirdWatchIE Oops that was River Fal, not Fowey
