Old but gold! This is one of my all-time favourite images a single shot from a night shoot near home. Looks like a fisherman's haul, but it's actually seeds caught in a spiderweb on a canal bridge #Photography #Nightshoot #Nature #Glasgow #Hamiltonhill #Spiderweb #Canal #seeds

Almost 36 years & maybe a mile apart ~ the New Hythe Yellow Warbler is almost within shouting distance of the monster supermarket sweep of Larkfield in 1989: the Golden-winged Warbler famously & so memorably did the right thing for vast hordes of admirers 😎 (GWW pic D Cottridge)

Finally managed to grip back Grey-headed Lapwing this morning at East Chevington with @GhostlyVision after dipping last Saturday and missing the bird last year due to being abroad.

Without doubt the smartest bird of the day has been Johnson's Today-tyrant, which must be one of South Americas smartest flycatchers.

Mohammed Qahtani won the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking. It’s easy to see why. Please watch his speech. Words have power. Words can be our power. Words can unite or divide. Words can spit venom or can mend a broken soul. Words matter.
