My membership of British Cycling has come around for renewal and I have no hesitation in telling them to get lost. The fact that they took on a major sponsorship deal with Shell (SHELL!) in October and have refused to reverse that decision is appalling. This is classic greenwashing - Shell are continuing to extract all the oil they can. Cycling should not offer shelter to the fossil fuel companies putting profit ahead of the planet.

I saw down here somewhere.

Here's a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) on the ground looking for an acorn. Acorns are the blue jays' absolute favorite. During late winter and early spring when there were a lot of acorns on the ground, the blue jays all but ignored my feeders. But I would frequently see them dropping out of the oak trees to the ground to grab an acorn.
