  • AndyDenis on Gay Times introduces: Tranimals!This is brilliant! Thank you for having the patience to deal with "Gay Times'" and Peter Tatchell's nonsense.
  • Elle on Gay Times introduces: Tranimals!Thank you for this and filling my inbox with beautiful photos, fascinating facts and finally for being such an enlightened being, your not alone.
  • Michael Brookes on Marmaduke Tunstall and the curious case of the Sacred IbisThe 'mystery' is: why should a Sacred Ibis be on the document when it wasn't recognised as a British bird? The answer is in the fact that the online paper is a reprint issued by Prof. Alfred Newton in 1880, who was the editor of the ornithological journal 'Ibis' from 1865 to 1870. The picture of the Sacred Ibis is the 'logo' of the 'Ibis' at that time, and the page includes Newton's name and the date 1880.
  • Peter on When Robin and Blackbird meetI think they are both fantastic
  • Emma Cook on Pestle Puffballs, Hedgehogs and ChanterellesLooks so delicious!
  • Lynn Rhiannon Selkie Genevieve on “From the age of five I was taught how to torture, mutilate and kill.”I can’t fault your analysis. I do have and practice a ‘religion’ but perhaps the most important aspect for me is that there is no ‘evangelism’ - I found it - it didn’t find me or come looking. One of my dearest friends died a few years ago. She was a woman of science, of rationalism and I held her knowledge and opinions in high regard. Towards the end of her life she said to me “I don’t believe in anything - I wish I did, but I don’t. “ she had a tremendous send off with a humanist styled...
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Adult Human femaleMany thanks Dr Patt for your inspiration for the sequel: https://www.thehallofeinar.com/2024/01/adult-human-female-the-sequel/
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Adult Human femaleThanks so much Allan - much appreciated.
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on CycadThanks so much Lynn. I enjoy your insights!
  • Lynn Rhiannon Selkie Genevieve on CycadAs so often is the case with nature… she has solutions for everything. If only we humans had the patience to let her get on with it… speaking as a midwife here too.
  • Allan Chard on Adult Human femaleSpot on David. A fantastic piece of work, well balanced and inarguable. You surely speak for the masses.
  • crowstone236050 on The Monks of RomeI've just returned from Rome and saw lots of them in the grounds of Castel Sant'Angelo. It was creating a lot of interest among the tourists!
  • Bernard on Are these the most northerly cliff-nesting House Martins in the UK?Hi there I once had a caravan in Kintyre , near where a barn swallow nested (2019 I think) in a coastal cave (along with feral pigeon/rock dove). It was lovely to see both birds nesting in the primordial way. Is a natural swallow nest as rare as a house martin and if so who would be interested in my observation? I don't have any photos but I could help anyone interested enough find the cave that is likely still used
  • Sally Hallam on Little Egret Agreed!
  • Ian Phipps on DeadwoodLooks like a dead giraffe ...
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Gannets at NoupThanks so much Jenny - it's great that you managed to get to Noup and that you experienced the wonderful Westraak. I'm delighted you had the full Puffin experience after coming so far.
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on It’s not an animal, plant or a fungusIndeed!
  • Elisabeth Sidler on It’s not an animal, plant or a fungus… but definitely less deadly than homo sapiens…. Looks can be misleading and treacherous….
  • Jenny Rich on Gannets at NoupDavid, I was lucky to see the gannets nesting on the cliffs near Noup Head in 2023. I did a day tour with Westrack Tours and we went out to the cliffs. It was wonderful looking down to see all the birds. I also enjoyed seeing groups of puffins at Castle o' Burrian. Your photos of the gannets are great. Jenny from Nowra, New South Wales.
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on SparrowYes, they are such beautiful birds. I suspect the attitude to them is very different in the UK, where they are native, and the US, where they are an introduced species.
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Adult Human female – the sequelIt's certainly upsetting that there are more and more victims of such a massive medical scandal, and so many of them started so young.
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Adult Human female – the sequelThanks Marianna - that's so kind of you.
  • David @ the HALL of EINAR on Adult Human female – the sequelThanks so much Lynn. I really appreciate your support.
  • Megan Champion on SparrowI’m happy to see other human beings recognizing these birds for their beauty just as you would a bluebird or cardinal. So many people think they are pests and that really bothers my soul. They are birds, our friends and we need to protect them.
  • Lenny on Adult Human female – the sequelThe trans child is like the vegan cat. It is the result of adults pushing their ideology onto others.
