86 years ago today the Battle of Britain reached its climax in the skies over southern England. The Nazis planned to annihilate the RAF ahead of invading Britain. The bravery of the members of Fighter Command ensured they didn't.
Pilot Ronald Berry: "'I never thought of killing anybody. I just wanted to shoot them down."
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. You can hear directly from those few in this @I_W_M collection:

Commuters in London were treated to some impromptu entertainment while waiting on the Underground, as a pair of mice put up their dukes for a sparring session.
El portal central de la fachada de la Pasión contiene dos puertas en las que hay diez mil letras en relieve que reproducen fragmentos de la narración de la pasión del Evangelio según San Mateo, en la puerta izquierda, i del Evangelio según San Juan, en la puerta derecha. 🔎 También encontramos pequeños elementos que podemos ver representados en otros puntos de la Basílica. ¡Te mostramos algunos!

Mijas residents launch this year's Eyedrop campaign to help the underpriviledged of The Gambia. The organisers are appealing to local shops and businesses to become drop-off points where customers can place their unwanted glasses or school supplies throughout October and November
Between #Ibiza and #Formentera lives the largest and oldest organism on the planet. And it is underwater. 🌿🌊
An 8-kilometre Posidonia oceanica meadow, more than 100,000 years old, stretches from Es Freus to Ses Salines. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is responsible for the crystal-clear turquoise waters that make this one of the Mediterranean’s finest diving destinations, and provides a home for seahorses, gilthead seabream and Mediterranean rainbow wrasse, which grow protected among its leaves. 🐟
But inappropriate anchoring threatens this treasure every summer. That is why, thanks to the Sustainable Tourism Tax, information buoys, a helpline for boaters, signage in ports and a badge for vessels that respect Posidonia have been introduced. ⚓
Anchoring with care is also a way of enjoying the sea. 💙

It's vendimia time (wine harvest season).
Up until mid-October, winemakers will pick the ripest grapes to produce the best wines, which we will enjoy in a couple of years’ time.
It is hard work, but also a celebration of a tradition that is an important part of Spanish culture.

This is Boro. He went missing in southern Spain after the horrific train derailment that killed 43 and injured 150. After four long days, he was captured by firefighters and has finally been reunited with his family.
You are safe again buddy 🐶❤️🩹.
The whole Portman Hunt field watched the killing of a fox today and convicted huntsman Shaun Marles blew his horn to hunt the hounds on right up until the moment of the kill. @DorsetMonitor
