Great stuff. Nice to see things moving here and there
Brilliant Rob 👍
So let’s talk about how we got here.
For years, Gaza has been a world in flames while much of the Arab political class perfected the art of televised sorrow and grief.
We have witnessed their condolences, their carefully worded statements, and their diplomatic communiqués saturated with

Since he’s been cheerleading US & Israeli bombing in Iran (which resulted in 150 dead at a girls primary school today), I thought now would be a good time to out @zootherabirding.bsky.social as the virulent racist that he is. Wouldn’t be caught in a million miles of a Zoothera birding tour!

Broadly speaking, there are 2 political factions. Not Labour v Tory/Reform, Republicans v Democrats etc, but an economic elite, operating globally, versus all of us. Though they are small in number, through the power of the political, media and social media systems they control, they keep winning.
A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.
Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.
This woman in Crowborough who took down flags is a hero and I hope she's ok.
This is a very worrying story with implications. Personally I'd like to fire the whole of AI into the outer Oort. stonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2026/01/1492...

🚨 NHS England is rolling out Palantir software for our health records - handing huge power to a US firm with a track record in surveillance, military technology and human rights abuses.
Email your local Trust and say NO to Palantir in the NHS: notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...
It’s time to end the Guga hunt.

Most likely
Regardless, it's just brilliant seeing them regularly around brum!
Yes, the Ol Joe pair are well known.
Not heard about breeding on the medical school🤔 I don't think they'd breed so close to each other and have not heard anything about that....
I believe the BT tower birds are still there.....that's the closest pair I know to the Ol Joe birds
