@WilboRose hi @WilboRose Alan Wilkinson gave me your name as a birder who knows Crystal Palace well. I’ve been asked at short notice to do a guided walk there for the RSPB this morning. Could you tell me where the most productive areas of the park are?

@SussexOrnitholo @SussexBirding @RSPBPulborough Hmm, might have been the pale buzzard after all

Hello @EuropcarUK

[Jim Todd @jimtodd64909]

I rented an electric car from Europcar Kennington 10 days ago. They failed to give me the CCS cable needed to charge the car. I have made 7 calls and registered a complaint. Have they sent me the cable yet? No. Have they responded to my calls? No. #europcardisgrace.

@TommyFinlayson where’s my best spot for watching the raptor migration over the next week? I’m coming for a few days to Tarifa.

@JEyal_RUSI So it was stupid to oppose the Iraq war was it? The invasion which has provided a precedent for the monster in the Kremlin to cite? I thought better of you &jeyal_rusi.

@hamish_todd @VinceVatter @gregeganSF @wtgowers @colva_rd That is seriously niche.

@Catheri78562067 @Ged_UK @GET_UK_solar @SolarTogetherUK I cancelled. They never gave me any sign they would get around to installing. Sadly I haven’t found another firm to do it.

I have no idea why, but I woke this morning with a fully formed poem about Jacob Rees-Mogg and his US Republican friends in my head.
