As a brief diversion from the UK's current news headlines, here's a party political broadcast on behalf of Canada geese. Portrait snapped in Kelsey Park, Beckenham. #wexmondays, #fsprintmonday, #NaturePhotography, #BirdsSeenIn2022

Do the hop: Dan Lloyd and Bobby Thompson save on tyre wear during the second of three @BTCC races @Brands_Hatch yesterday, while Dan Cammish scarpers in the distance...

@MarcusSimmons54 I'm excited because I've acquired a sizeable archive of negatives depicting French motor racing in the 1970s and 1980s. Does that count for anything?

I doubt Ford Anglias or bygone banger racing @Brands_Hatch will stir much interest this week, while the world waits to hear whether some F1 teams spent more in 2021 than Truss & Kwarteng have frittered in the past fortnight, but just in case... https://t.co/iOyjWNTOil

@ACsTracksideArc Looks like Rufforth. A sorry year for grass-roots circuits, 1978, because it was also Longridge's final season of operation...

@AndyBrown910 Model it on the classic Silverstone Club circuit and host general test sessions every Tuesday & Friday. That should work...

@AnotherEdFoster You didn't seem to be taking your normal line...

The spotlight might be trained on Formula 1, but motor racing has many worthwhile forms... https://t.co/6AHvH46GX2

@norramot A truth I can't deny...

@norramot She has changed teams unexpectedly at least twice. Surprised the Contract Recognition Board didn't step in...

Always in our thoughts, but today has particular poignance. Hard to believe two years have elapsed already 🧡🧡

You don't need monstrous levels of power and grip to create good motor racing. Just apply some numbers to the flanks of a 63-year-old box... Action from the Mini Festival @Brands_Hatch yesterday: #WexMondays, #fsprintmonday

Another month slips by: I reckon I've attended 30 motorsport events so far in 2022, which probably makes me dafter now than I was 40 years ago... https://t.co/8DZaVZxZge

Another month, another few thousand miles added to the Peugeot 207 CC's odometer... https://t.co/fGtswoTrSR

Belated entry for #WexMondays & #fsprintmonday. I won't apply any 'wildlife' tags, because ring-tailed lemurs tend to be a scarce commodity in the London suburbs. This is a blatant cheat, taken at @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo
