Iridescence in Mid‑Air

This image showcases the ruby‑throated hummingbird’s beautiful tail feathers and the iridescent emerald glow across its back. I’m not entirely sure what it was doing in that moment, but it looks as if it were about to shoot straight up into the air. Their acrobatics never cease to amaze me. During the spring and summer, I sit outside and watch the hummingbird air wars around the feeder. They don’t like to share.

Good morning. 🌅🐦‍⬛☕

20 October 2026

Last night I finished the third novel in the Slow Horses series, Real Tigers by Mick Herron. If you’re not familiar with the Slow Horses, take a peek at my 2 October 2026 post. Like the previous books, this one doesn’t line up perfectly with the television adaptation — Season 3 corresponds to Real Tigers, but the events unfold so differently that even if you’ve already watched the show, the book keeps you guessing. All roads lead to Rome, but the journey is wildly different.

One of the things I enjoy most about reading the series is the depth Herron gives his characters. TV and movies can show you what people say and do, but the books let you into their heads — their motives, their doubts, their sharp little internal jokes. It makes Slough House feel even more alive.

I ordered Real Tigers online because I prefer hardbacks; they’re easier to hold, the print is usually larger, and there’s just something satisfying about the weight of a hardcover. I wasn’t paying close attention, though, and ended up ordering a used copy. The price didn’t match what you’d expect for a typical used book — and that’s something I’ve noticed with Herron’s hardbacks. The early books in the series, especially first editions, are often priced surprisingly high.

For example, when I bought Dead Lions (book 2), I went with the deluxe paperback because the used hardback started at $149.00 — wow. The copy of Real Tigers I ordered was $43.59, and what arrived was a used book in good, not excellent, condition.

The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest people of past centuries.” — Descartes

“Wear the old coat and buy the new book.” — Austine Phelps

Country diary: A species brought to the edge of extinction, recovering in the fens | Mark Cocker
By Mark Cocker

Ouse Fen, Cambridgeshire: The great egret’s story is remarkable, as is the conversion of this low-grade agricultural land into one of the richest wetlands in Britain

**Yellow-rumped Thornbills** (*Acanthiza chrysorrhoa) *at Lightning Ridge, NSW. Numerous small birds visible feeding on the upper branches of the trees scattered through Lorne station - Weebills, mainly, but also these Thornbills. Difficult to photograph as they are so fast-moving, but I managed to grab these shots.
