I'm a nearly 70 year old Aussie - immigrated in 1964. I'm a Maths and Physics teacher, and outside work my passions are photography, ham radio, astronomy and birds - as well as calling out obscene politics.https://bsky.app/profile/uncletimrob.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/uncletimrob.bsky.social/post/3mlnamsawgc2lAustralian Wood Duck aka Chenonetta jubata #BirdOfTheDay #LinedUp #photography #birds12 May 2026 07:16 +0000at://did:plc:bqrvpqabyjhb55rkdrefo7a6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlnamsawgc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/uncletimrob.bsky.social/post/3mlkn4rovl223Male Australian Brush Turkey aka Bush Turkey aka Alectura lathami. #BirdOfTheday #LockedOn11 May 2026 06:22 +0000at://did:plc:bqrvpqabyjhb55rkdrefo7a6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlkn4rovl223https://bsky.app/profile/uncletimrob.bsky.social/post/3mlkmyayxek23Golden-headed Cisticola aka Cisticola exilis. #BirdOfTheDay #LockedOn11 May 2026 06:19 +0000at://did:plc:bqrvpqabyjhb55rkdrefo7a6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlkmyayxek23https://bsky.app/profile/uncletimrob.bsky.social/post/3mlkjeqea6k2g#photography #carriage #monochrome #blackandwhite11 May 2026 05:15 +0000at://did:plc:bqrvpqabyjhb55rkdrefo7a6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlkjeqea6k2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/uncletimrob.bsky.social/post/3mlkjaxbtpk2gDragonfly. #photography #dragonfly #monchrome #blackandwhite11 May 2026 05:13 +0000at://did:plc:bqrvpqabyjhb55rkdrefo7a6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlkjaxbtpk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/uncletimrob.bsky.social/post/3mlkj3um2qs2gSunset, Madagascar.
