Here is my eldest daughters partner holding my first grandchild....Little Ronnie weighing in at 1 pound and 3 ounces.

He is so small due to malnourishment because of  the placenta not being attached to mother properly,

plus he was delivered 12 weeks early because my daughter had preeclampsia and her liver and kidneys where not functioning,

Not a good weekend but a good start to the week.....both are doing well   :D

Hi Steve...Congratulations on being a Grandad...bet you can't wait till he is strong enough to go home and spoil him rotten eh :D

wow Suzanne...I love your pictures that you take...could frame some of them for my wall :) are you from that area? x

Yes I live 18 miles away from High Force, I am part of Teesdale. We are a 1000 foot or so above sea level and it is hilly where I live. I live 4 miles from Hamsterley Forest which is great for walking and mountain biking. This is the information board at Moorhouse Nature Reserve 20160911_135139.jpg

An update on our Jess.

The lampshade has finally been removed and most of the stitches are gone. She looks a lot better and although she`s lost quite a large part of her upper lip, really doesn`t seem any worse for wear. 

And she`s still boring the family with her tiresome Eric Morcambe impression.

Excellent News, so very please for her and you, how resilient are our animals!

.....................and nothing wrong with Eric Morcambe impressions either!!

I'm sure we're all guilty of taking the miracle of life for granted, and it's very humbling seeing pictures like this, I was 13 lbs 4 oz at birth, it's made me feel positively gargantuan. I hope his parents aren't going to lumber him with the epithet "Little", as that's just rubbing salt in the wounds:wicked:.  Good luck to the parents and him as well as you Steve.

Thanks Dave ,both are doing well... funny enough I have been calling him big Ronnie :D...it certainly opens your eyes when things happen to you personally, what about your poor mother having to carry you around at that weight, you were a big un:D

I'm actually the smallest in the family now Steve. My mother was a big woman, apparently the labour was very swift.  I'm sure Ronnie will turn into a big strong lad.

Not had chance to get out and about with the camera for the last couple of weeks which has doe me in but all change from next week so with a bit of luck should have some pictures to post.

Just seen over my Manchester back garden probably the last Swallow  of the year, flying alone and in a southerly direction. Such a sad day but it ill soon be late March when they return.

Had to take these through the window and the little chap wouldn`t sit still for long.

Also had this massive spider web across the yarden this morning which had to be dismantled i`m afraid.

Been a early start today was up at Leighton Moss RSPB reserve by 7.45 am. Was worth it managed to see and get picture,s of a very rare little bird, so rare that it only breeds in Norfolk and Leighton Moss as far as I know. Leighton Moss only has  five breeding pairs.

Wow! Beautiful little bird Steve - well done. I presume male and female? I don't know the species - Finch family?

Hope all is well mate.

This one shows the male and female on a grit tray. They need grit to help them transfer there dietary requirements from eating insects in the spring and summer to eating seeds through the autumn and winter times when there are no insects so the RSPB put out the grit to help them

That's pretty special Steve.

Just like you boss!

They are also at Blacktoft Sands near Goole as well, I've seen them there with a bittern in the background through some guys telescope, didn't have the camera with me that day and the lenses I have probably wouldn't have been long enough anyway, it would have been a hell of a picture. 

By the way the wife and I have a toddle around Leighton Moss quite regularly.
