My website needs an update. Any recommendations on who I could pay to do it please?

@wildchiswick @igorw do let us know how you get on, won't you?

@wildchiswick ah true enough, there are sometimes a few that turn up. But to actually see an otter you'd be better off almost anywhere else!

If you have a bat detector we do also have an outstanding selection of bats here.

@wildchiswick you won't see any otters, there are none. But squirrels and lizards are a good bet!

Off for an Isle of Wight visit soon. Can’t find any nature tours - keen to see red squirrels, otter, water vole, lizards and eagles. Anyone know someone who might walk us around? #IOW #Squirrels #otters #voles #lizards #eagles #isleofwight

So having set this up a month or two back I ignored it. But having been hobbled by the shit-show that Twitter has become for those who don’t pay Elon, I’m now jumping ship. If you like music photography, wordle, theatre, wordle, tabletop games, and long periods of silence, I’m your man!

This needs a click if you want to have a proper look.

The result from yesterday evening's photoshoot. A view only a couple of miles from where we live. My husband's interest had been captured by the buttercups in a distant field which give a hazy yellow appearance. He wanted to capture the verdant landscape before summer takes hold and the colours fade a little.

You can see #Ryde on the #IsleofWight and across the #Solent to #Portsmouth #photography

A view from elevated ground across farmland, the sea and to the mainland. The landscape is at it's most green, all the leaves are finally out on the trees and everything is looking fresh and new. The sky has few clouds, the light on the fields is golden as it's just before sunset. It's a viewpoint that invites you to go for a walk and explore!

You think you've got it bad with your power cut but won't somebody think of the fish?

Absolute barnstormer of a first IWCP column from Joe Plumb. Funny and locally distinctive enough to raise a tear in Mark Steele's eye. So many ideas. Pace yourself nipper!

@Gertatron @RSPB @RSPBEngland I guess we should all follow them to encourage that to happen.

“My hot take on “15 minute cities” is if you can get to the coffee shop within fifteen minutes, but the barrista who makes your drink can’t afford to live closer than a half-hour away, then you live in a theme park.” - Gareth Klieber #cities #urbanism #housing #transit #cycling

The role model we deserve.
Try to keep pets and wildlife apart if you can!

A six-panel comic called The Canada Goose: A Role Model For Our Time. Panel 1 is labeled "assertive" with a Canada Goose hissing and sticking out its tongue like a terrifying cobra. Panel 2 is labeled "brave" with a Canada Goose standing up to a giant, terrifying Mute Swan. Panel 3 is labeled "good parent" and shows two Canada Geese parents with three chicks, standing up to a dog. Panel 4 is labeled "team player" and shows a v of geese. Panel 5 is labeled "crisp, modern aesthetic" and shows a gorgeous, smooth, fancy looking Canada Goose head. Panel 6 is labeled "high fiber diet" and shows a Canada Goose eating grass and, simultaneously, pooping.
