No rivers or land features to follow just the open sea. Stars or magnetic? Migration is fascinating.

NASA's Blue Marble picture of Earth, from 1972

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

Great sharp image as usual Peter. 👍

Another on the list John 👍

Just about into summer plumage Gary.

Are they moving out now John.

👍

Impressive for a small island.

A male Siskin feeding on Alder cones along the River Dearne at Wilthorpe, Barnsley yesterday. Probable migrant, although they breed nearby on the edge of the Pennines. #birds #birdphotography #ukbirding #nature #siskin

One yesterday in Mapplewell was my first for the year.

This morning 2 Russian White-fronted Geese in amongst c100 Grey-lag Geese in a field north of Ingbirchworth Res. #barnsleybirds

New Year’s Day evening in Askrigg, North Yorkshire. #newyear #yorkshire

So that’s where the Barnsley birds have gone. 🤔

Having moved house this year I had the same problem and about 80% went to recycle. Also my British Birds and British Wildlife but past issues of these can be accessed via their archives.

Summer gone. #photography #autumn

Get well John 😀

Are Whooper Swans also dying in Iceland 🇮🇸 or picking up the virus when they get here Kane?

Not all of the leaves have blown off yet. Nice colours beside the River Don at Deepcar. #autumn #landscapeimages #uknature #yorkshire

Fly agaric Amanita mascara in the local woodland. Usually found under Silver Birch toxic to humans but eaten by some animals. This has survived so far. #fungi

Wow.

Woodland birds John.

Great times. 😊

That’s a fair old haul and a great mix of species.

Osprey flew south over the house at Mapplewell at 1825. New bird for the house list. 😀

Strange movement John. A new bird for Tiree?

That’s a great capture Peter. 😮

Mapplewell this morning. Great White Egret over the house and a Hobby chasing 3 Swift in last 15 minutes. #birds #barnsley #yorkshirebirding

Wilthorpe valley this morning in light rain. 33 Chiffchaff, 6 Blackcap and a Garden Warbler feeding up and will be making a move when the weather improves. #birds #migration #yorkshirebirds

Tree shut down several weeks earlier this year due to the drought. It happened a few years ago when we had really hot weather. #trees #climate #drought #yorkshire

Brilliant John. I came home too early. 😂
