Looks like EIm0's algos aren't showing this much today... wonder why...🤔 #USAElection2024 #USAElections #USElections #PresidentialElection2024 #pres

🥳 I refound a Northern Mockingbird in my local patch - 1st ever record for 🇩🇪, only 5th in WP region 🤯😲🔥 But saddened that @TarsigerTeam took one of my 📸s, posting w/o.permission or credit ©️ 😤. Very poor form 🚫👎 #birds #birding #birdphotography #BirdTwitter #BirdsOfX

It's my 🅱🅸🆁🆃🅷🅳🅰🆈 soon...🥳 Instead of 🎁s, I've set up a 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 for @Amref_Worldwide. I hope to raise €480 (US$ will do, too...) for their live-giving work across Africa 🌍 ➡️Will you pitch in? 💰𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 : paypal.com/pools/c/983ttOvN6…

An innocent, and rather cute-looking, Viburnum Leaf Beetle. 🪲🥰 In 2010, reported by @The_RHS members as "the number one pest species". I guess it's always a matter of perspective... 🤷 #NatureBeauty #NatureInspiration #naturephoto #NaturePhotography #insects #Bugs

Common Darter at the backyard pond. 🧐 Look, I think s/he's smiling 😁 #dragonfly #insects #bug #insects #Bugs #NaturePhotography #naturephoto
