‘The Saddest Show on Earth’ exhibition opened at The Vaults in London in March this year. The collection was then showcased at the Royal Society of Arts in London for 2 months and is now making its way to Dubai for the next leg of the tour.

Here is a photo of me with the namesake painting of the collection.

@LeShuttle why are there so many delays when you know exactly how many passengers have booked tickets? You ask us to arrive between 1 and 2 hours early for our train and then put us on a later one!! Not great.

@LucyMcRobert1 No way! I thought creme eggs were off limits until Boxing Day. Who was selling them Lucy? Asking for a friend 😊

@dayglowj0e @JamesQu76539271 @BBCNews Long shot? They’re both in this picture 😊

A fantastic 4 days with @Scillypelagics 👍 who could have predicted two boobies on the Bishop Rock Lighthouse at the same time, and the supporting cast of South Polar, Long Tailed and Arctic Skuas, Cory’s, Great, Sooty and Manx Shearwaters, and European Storm Petrels.

It’s my first time being really close to seeing this beautiful Martial Eagle, which is a large eagle native to sub-Saharan Africa. in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

when a hawk owl has the decency to fly towards the camera and then gives a wink of acknowledgement 🙂 from today in Finland @AlanDaviesbirds @biggesttwitch #BirdsSeenIn2023 @Britnatureguide

The perfect disguise — a screech owl hides in the hollow of a tree, beautifully blending with its bark.

From the @Telegraph.

[John Goddard @jonny_boy_]

@cjowls I agree, you definitely have issues 😊

[John Goddard @jonny_boy_]

@CelinaEPearson @YWT_North 👍

[John Goddard @jonny_boy_]

@cjowls Sounds like a decent compromise 👍. Tropical or cold water though, as that makes a difference…..apparently 😬

[John Goddard @jonny_boy_]

@CelinaEPearson The first picture is fabulous! It’s just asking for a caption competition!! 😊

Take a look at this magnificent hoopoe, perched gracefully on a branch of this sacred peepal tree, which holds a special place in many cultures. And now, it serves as the perfect perch for this stunning bird.

A barn owl moments before diving into the long grass. A bird I will never get bored of photographing .
