I had forgotten what blue skies look like mate

I know ... wind was cool first thing, we had three Stonechats showing well today, once the sun came out I was getting problems with heat haze coming up off the dead read beds  :huh:

Chris. I've got two of the original baby ones. I think they're 2500,s or possibly 3500,s they're tucked away on a couple of tip rods I've not used for a few year's, they're loaded with braid, which is not allowed on these commercial fisheries for what ever reason the owner's have decided.

Remember using braid for the first time about twenty years ago when I fished for gaswise Liverpool. The only importer was Scott's of northwich and it was a Dutch sinking braid, it was amazing, the difference in showing up the tiniest of bites off roach compared to normal nylon monofilament.

If I told you I’d changed my name to Martin Le-May I’m pretty sure nobody would believe me and I’d be lying if I said I’d taken this outstanding photograph as many will have seen it featured in the national press early last week.

 

It’s not often I gasp when looking at a photograph but this one made do it - out loud as well.

 

I realise I’m bending the rules of this thread somewhat – so how about having a thread on the ‘most amazing photographs you’ve ever seen’ type thing so we can move this magnificent photograph into a more appropriate place.

 

Please delete this post if needs be.

 Hi Derek, I wouldn't worry too much as other members have posted images that were not their own on this thread.

 

In fact this is the third time this image has been posted on here, Smiffy got in first with post #334  :wink:

The weed dance ... a pair of Great Crested Grebes courting.

 

They grab a piece of weed then present it to each other, they all do it when they are pairing up to mate ... what intrigues me is how did they learn to do it ... fascinating thing the natural world.

I'm impressed Martyn. As you know I've fished all my life and been a outdoors person and I have never seen the Great Crested Grebes mating dance ... thanks for posting.

Your jealous mate

Living around Broadland i have seen it many times but never tire of it,and i know of two broads where parts of the bottom are littered with grebe skeletons.

Have no idea why its a sort of a grebe graveyard.
