Happy second birthday to an album with a very poor acronym. Like, seriously. YCNHALEHS is such an ugly collection of letters. Stream it today!

MARCH FORTH to FIGHT FASCISM! Get it??

BIRD BEATS: EASTERN SCREECH OWL. We’re back y’all. Maybe one of the thrushes next?✨

[Mark Gurney @MarkGurn]

What’s better than a nuthatch? More nuthatches. Ten species here from the ‘big ones with eye-stripes group’. In case you were wondering, the monster one is Giant Nuthatch, not a badger trying to crash the party.

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

Two of the most reliably golden of the street trees are at their peak right now. Acer cappadocicum (Sapindaceae; left) and Liriodendron tulipifera (Magnoliaceae; right). They glow brilliantly even on the dullest, dreariest days.

@nature_recorder Looks like a big number 3 wearing a hat. The perfect slug for kids parties? Will draw requests. Slowly!

@SarahBirding Herds of tiny antelopes? Nevers!

I try to be shrewd about this stuff, not show my hand before I publish my review, but it would be just wrong to deny that it's been A LONG TIME since I felt like a new album was just what I'd been needing the way the new Run the Jewels does.

[Louis Armstrong @ArmstrongHouse]

Louis Armstrong recorded "West End Blues" on this date in 1928--'nuff said! Make sure to take 3 minutes and 20 seconds today to listen to one of the greatest recordings of the 20th century: https://t.co/ODaGXgegW4

@hydrobates Sad for you both. You gave him 8 happy years. RIP Benny.

[Chris Bingham @lorisecologist]

@SarahBirding @BirdingBeijing They are both nice! These get extra points for being wild beasts. And for being super cute!

Before the end of January, as promised, the 45th Dean's List presents the 76 best albums of the last year (or so) at my And It Don't Stop newsletter at Substack. https://t.co/cAtoJHKASX

Pittas are one of my favourite things. Bouncy and bright, they lighten up any dull winter day. Here are nine of them arranged, controversially, in approximate order of splendidness.

[Pam Ayres MBE @PamAyres]

I bought a bamboo toothbrush,
As I’d like to save the planet,
I bought it for each kittiwake
and albatross, and gannet,
To try to send a message out
To everyone like me,
Who always bought the plastic ones,
Which end up in the sea.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

On Wednesday, at 10pm, our film #ApocalypseCow premieres on Channel 4. It argues that farming will more or less come to an end within a few decades. All our food except fruit and veg will be produced by completely different means.
Yes, I mean farming - not just livestock farming

I've gone exotic with the Christmas robins this year. Have a happy day, whatever you are doing.
