After spending most of my life fishing and loving nature, birds in particular you kind of get a eye or second sense for any sudden movement no matter how small then it's just a case of stopping still and seeing what happens. Thanks again Steve 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Widnes63 Posted April 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2018 Been working in Liverpool with the lads, dotted around both sides of the river are ventilation towers for the tunnels under the river, this is the most ornate of them, the King Georges dock vents, in the alcoves on either side of the door where our scaffold wagon is protruding from are these two statues, one represents day and the other night, apparently the tunnels used to be open 24 hours a day, thus day and night. 9 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Taken on the flight deck of the last HMS Bulwark circa 1980/81, after some inter-departmental sport. All the guys were from my mess, and I'm the one paying attention at front left. Maybe Joey can tell me what squadron the Sea King in the background is from..... 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

There's plenty of ghost bikes in and around Manchester but I've never seen a yellow one either mate. . The reason I mentioned it as a ghost bike is the amount of flowers and notes etc posted on the bike plus it's on one of the quietest lanes that I know of that's well off the beaten track. No where near the tour passed, it's actually near the St Helens, Widnes, Warrington border.
