Thanks Andy. Weather forecast is quite good from Tuesday onwards  so hope to get across to Caldy island and the Red Squirrels.

The long staying Osprey  has left for Africa so wont be as fortunate / lucky as last year .

I was watching some nature program and it said a woodpecker wraps it’s tongue round it’s brain or summat like that when knocking on the tree etc to protect it, stop it from bouncing round the skull.

Monster Pike . Caught Lovers Lane , Yarm .

Length 5ft 4ins . Weight beyond 35lb . Weight scale exceeded limit . Damaged right bicep landing it . Like dragging tree trunk . Tail walk was amazing . Had 4 layers on as it was 🥶  . Injected dace was bait .

See size to weight guide used for catch and release so as not to cause any more distress to the fish. Your fish would be  a uk best according to the overall length of 5ft 4in = 64 " 

As far as I'm aware the current British record is still the 46 lb fish caught from a Welsh  reservoir but I could be mistaken as I thought one of 53 lb had been caught fairly recently but that would still be 13" smaller than the fish in the picture

Im not sure of the expected boundaries of these photo's , but .. A couple of my scooter 'Gladys' , the first one taken in the Yorkshire Dales. The 3rd one ..taken on one of our early "Lock Down" walks , when we came across Lizzy - an eccentric local runner who went out in fancy dress just to lift peoples spirits. Here on the Leeds - Liverpool canal.

These are the Badgers i was photographing last night when i was lucky enough to see the Fox

The first Badger is so distinctive with the white stripe across its shoulders and it must be either a Cub from this year or its a new member of the Clan as in all the years ive been watching and photographing these two setts here on the farm i have never seen this particular one until now
