Newbie defender Teigan O'Shannassy shines as Shamera Sterling-Humphrey meets her match in Grace Nweke. Shimona Jok celebrates her 100th national league game as the Mavericks get their first win over a despondent looking Giants side.

Tracking devices revealed that Black Swifts spent over 99% of their time in the air during the winter, almost never touching the ground for months. What's more, the swifts flew to incredible heights, reaching the highest altitudes on nights when the moon was full – sometimes over 13,000 feet! It's the first time scientists have seen birds changing their altitude along with the cycles of the moon.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

For some birds, love is in the air. When a pair of White-throated Swifts wants to get to know each other, they meet up — on the wing — high above the ground. The birds grasp one another and, clinging together, tumble downward, for over 500 feet. Just before striking the earth, they separate, flying nonchalantly back up the canyon wall. Visit a Western canyon, and you might see a pair of swifts literally falling in love.  More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

The article provides an intimate look at Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship during Super Bowl LIX week in New Orleans. It begins with their romantic dinner at Lilette restaurant with Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, then weaves through various events including Travis's podcast recording with brother Jason, Swift's dinner with the Haim sisters at Gianna Restaurant, and the family dynamics between the Kelces and Swifts. The piece explores how the couple balances their high-profile careers with their personal relationship, addressing the historic implications of the Chiefs' potential three-peat while highlighting the unique situation of Travis facing his brother's former team, the Eagles.

How long can a bird fly without touching the earth? To find out, Swiss scientists attached sensors to Alpine Swifts. The sensors showed long periods when the swifts were gliding and not flapping their wings. Were the birds asleep? Scientists don't know for sure. It could be that Alpine Swifts sleep during the summer breeding season — and don't sleep at all during migration. But why do they stay aloft so long? Swifts can't perch because they have very short legs. So if they can manage it, avoiding touching down makes perfect sense.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Our 4 guests this week all have their sights on big targets. For Dungannon Swifts, they've started 2025 in the dizzy heights of 2nd in the Premiership. Where can they go from here? We speak to midfielder James Knowles about the fantastic season that the Stangmore side have had so far. For Coleraine, it's not been smooth sailing and yet with all the changes at the club they are only 9 points behind the Swifts in the league. With investment leading to some big signings, how does captain Lyndon Kane assess where the club is at currently? Plus we look ahead to the Co. Antrim Shield final with the help of Glentoran gaffer Declan Devine and Larne boss Gary Haveron. Will the Invermen make it 5-in-a-row or are the Glens about to land their first piece of silverware of this campaign?

The NSW Swifts have given their fans a Christmas gift by announcing the news of Verity Simmons' signing.It was this time last year that the two-time premiership winner announced her retirement from netball after 11 seasons at the top, instead choosing to pursue AFL Women's footy with the West Coast Eagles.Now, the NSW junior will switch back to her first love, filling the spot of pregnant Swifts midcouter Maddy Proud for the 2025 season and feeding New Zealand import Grace Nweke.We caught up with Vez to hear how it all came about on the day of her signing — turns out it all started with some rumours and a Facebook message.

In this episode I host a dialogue between Henry Shukman, British poet, Zen teacher, and author of ‘One Blade of Grass; a Zen memoir'; and John Brehm, American poet and author of ‘The Dharma of Poetry'.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode which features garden writer , broadcaster and returning guest Kate Bradbury. Kate has a new book out One Garden Against the World: In Search of Hope in a Changing Climate. It's been a while since we last spoke about Kate's garden and with the opportune timing around the release of the book, I thought it would be the ideal time to catch up on what's changed for Kate, her garden and nature in general since 2019.

We talk about the best ways to garden for wildlife, including what to put in to your wildlife garden and what to leave out. Kate champions some unusual species and our conversation touches upon aspects that may surprise even the most seasoned wildlife gardener. The timing was perfect too, as Kate's new book Wildlife Gardening for Everyone and Everything hit the shelves 5 days ago. Once she's tempted you with snippets of wildlife gardening gold, you can go buy the book and find out everything you need to know about turning your own garden, whatever its size, into a haven for all creatures great and small.

Det, der kunne have været en saglig debat om politik, endte som en boksekamp om hundespisende migranter og drab på spædbørn, da Donald Trump og Kamala Harris mødtes for første og måske sidste gang til en tv-duel. Men hvis det ikke handlede om politk, hvad handlede det så om? Og var det en god idé, at Harris rystede så meget på hovedet af Trump? Kort efter debattens afslutning meldte verdensstjernen Taylor Swift sin støtte til Harris og mobiliserede muligvis en hær af 'swifties'. Hvad kommer det til at betyde for valgkampen? Kamala Harris har de seneste år ændret politik på flere områder. Vi diskuterer hendes 'flip-flops' på fracking, sundhedsområdet og 'defund the police'.

Rachel meets up with some farmers who keep rare native sheep at the Highland Show, Denise Playfair and Johnathan James, as well as Steve McMinn from RBST in Scotland.It seems that we have been aware of less insects in our gardens and in the wild this June, but why is this? Craig Macadam of Buglife joins us live to discuss the reasons for the decline of insects in Scotland and what we can do about it.Every year, more and more people are signing up to the Shorewatch scheme, a citizen science project run by the marine charity Whale and Dolphin Conservation.

So it's the Outsider storyline, right? Erm...nope. No one mentions being an Outsider this week, Spears and Page don't get along all that well. The brass must have listened to last week's podcast.   Elsewhere? Bate and Dunn in a new tag team, New Catch Republic. Hang on, don't we already have a No Quarter Catch Crew? Ah yes Dempsey, been meaning to talk to you about that...

On this episode Diane Yorgason-Quinn (see Episode #20) and Larry Schwitters talk about their work with Vaux's Swifts and the Vaux Happening Project. Larry got his start in swift research hiking to and looking for Black Swifts at over 100 waterfalls (thing very remote) in Washington State (and Oregon and CA).  From there he helped preserve the Wagner Schoolhouse in Monroe, WA.  From there he continued to start the Vaux Happening Project which documents roosting Vaux's Swifts at many old chimney roosts throughout the western U.S.  and Mexico.   Enjoy. To learn more check out the associated blog post on BirdBanter.com  

Apparently so, Vic said he's an Outsider on the brand. Oh, is he? With Spears and King? Ah, I see what they're doing. And I don't like it.   Lots happened on NXT this week, but did much of it matter?

Taylor swift has released how many versions of TTPD???See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ethan? Where's Ethan? Oh there he is, in a quick segment later on. But surely he's the new big NXT signing? Ah, Cody Rhodes is here! And they're all kissing the ring, because NXT can't do it alone, can they? Well, they did at Battleground...

Wait. Not now. Maybe next week. You'll get the good stuff next week. What's on this week? Well, things...not very good things, but things. There's Ethan Page and Jordynne Grace sort of making a difference, but not quite well enough. Wait, patience is a virtue. All good things to those who wait. With NXT aswell?

Before chimneys existed, Chimney Swifts relied on old hollow trees for nesting and roosting. They can't perch, they can only cling to a rough vertical surface. As developers cleared old growth forests, Chimney Swifts began using human-built structures. But building styles have changed, making traditional brick chimneys rarer. Pesticides have reduced the populations of swifts' insect prey.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap Edition! Today we are joined by Susie Evans to talk about all things reality TV. First, we talk about Susie's busy life in LA, friendships, and romantic relationships. We also touch on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, Black Friday shopping, and the Swifts and Kelces meeting this weekend. Then, we discuss Golden Bachelor and if we think Gerry is going to end up with Leslie or Theresa after their Fantasy Suite dates. Finally, we discuss Bachelor in Paradise - including the lack of a redemption arc between Jordan and Rachel, all of the Bachelorettes coming down to Paradise, and Katie's “comedy” roast.    “Turns out I am the problem.”  Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://viallfiles.supportingcast.fm/  Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.
