  1. "Not only were the Americans advising Britain to refrain from selling jump-jets to the Chinese the Soviets too were opposed to the West arming the Chinese." XD

  3. I found a few more female pallid harriers hunting today. I think the male has to be somewhere nearby. 📷 🪶 🌿 #Nature #Wildlife #Birds #BirdsInFlight #BIF #Harrier #Photography

  4. Do you have any idea just how hard it is to sit in a Martin-Baker ejection seat and not pull the handle between your legs just to see what will happen? I do. (The ceiling was very low.)

  5. I was talking with local birder Phil Crutchley this afternoon and I mentioned to him the sad news that I'd found dead on the roadside one of the Australasian harriers that he had banded. That female Phil had banded near his home in April 2023 and I found it hit by a car less than 3 km away in June this year.

    Ah, you might think, harriers don't travel far from home. But, no. Phil told me about another harrier he had banded at his home that, only 30 days later, was sighted in the Hawkes Bay in the North Island, about 700 km away.

    I guess if you're a big bird with big wings, you've got a lot of choices.
