This pigeon has built its nest on the spikes designed to stop the pigeons. Birds:1 - Humans:0 (photo taken through a train window) #nature #birds

First bird of my day: four herring gulls drifting in the air, their wings barely moving as they tackle the strong onshore wind. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

It's a monk parakeet, not parrot.

First bird of my day: a screeching flock of monk parrots flying over the hotel into the park (according to the Merlin app). Apparently they are native to South America but invasive colonies are spreading across Spain and Italy. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌍 🌏

To mark this special day, we’re tuning in to Sen, the world’s first continuous 4K video livestream from space.

Sen’s cameras are hosted on our Columbus module of the ISS, with data delivered via the Airbus platform.

Watch Earth from above, just like an astronaut

The world order is under sustained attack.

War. Greed. Apathy. Impunity. The growing assumption that rules can be ignored.

The UN wasn't built for the easy moments. It was built for moments like this.

Thank you @chathamhouse.org for hosting this discussion.

It's the first time I've seen or heard a serin. They sound like an excited goldfinch!

I'm absolutely blown away by the façade of the Basilica di Santa Croce in Lecce, Italy. There is so much detail to see if you zoom in. I've put a couple of my favourites in the comments. What do you like? #phonepics #baroquearchitecture #churches

I saw them in Lancaster. Best production of Macbeth I've ever seen.

Sadly it was just a quick stop there. We're on our way to Italy now. I hadn't heard of Campione until coming to Lugano.

First bird of my day: a Strasbourg woodpigeon. I was hoping it would be one of the storks nesting in the neighbouring street, but it wasn't to be! #FirstBirdzofMyDay
