    It sure was Ed, I would have bought this around 1976, Stay Here With Me was the side being played

    Is it a case of miss heard lyrics ... if so can I offer Ray Pollard The Drifter (male singer slow / mid tempo) seeing as the Clown options are diminishing

    I have a few of his on Vee Jay and Exodus, I used to buy them blind for a few quid back in the 90's, the flip sides are always good

    I spent many hours on a dance floor with Simon, he was one of the funniest guys I knew, his humour would have me in tears at times. When I learnt of his stroke the other day I could not believe it, he was only 57, far too young to be taken from us, he had so much more to give. To say he will be missed is doing him an injustice, he will leave a void on this scene that will be hard to fill. This is how I will remember him ... in shorts, in the zone, dancing R.I.P Simon ... condolences to Carol, Zac, and Bev All our love Martyn & Carol x .

    Leucistic birds are not as rare as you would think Steve, quite often get partial ones. About 15 years ago we had a golden coloured house sparrow in the garden ... guess what we called it

    Great Crested Grebe, always look their best on a sunny day, the second image through the reeds shows a couple of early youngsters hitching a lift on their parents back.

    When Steve said “can't see the wood for the trees” I was looking for a Woodpecker

    Odd framing on that Sparrow Steve ... (I am swaying more towards Sparrow than Reed Bunting, wasn't sure to start with)

    There was a pair of Black Necked Grebe as well

    Such a shame to read this, I can remember Winnie from years ago, used to see him out and about all the time. RIP Winnie Martyn & Carol x

    Specials - Night Club - always made me smile - "I won't dance in a club like this, All the girls are slags, And the beer tastes just like piss" Joe Jackson - Monday -oh so true - "Once you clock in you'll take any shit" Constellations - I didn't know how to - every time I danced to it - "Tiny bubbles about to explode" .

    I have the Cajun Hart and Geoffrey Meteliko versions, the later is an acquired taste, I have put it on tapes for people in the past.

    The early 90's was great, I got to hear a whole new wealth of records I had not heard before, some I liked some I didn't, but it was fantastic to hear new stuff. Keele, Bretby, Winsford, Tony's Blackburn, Wilton, The Ritz Manchester, Allbrighton, Middleton, same faces, really enjoyed it, made loads of new friends and met the wife.

    I tried to correct the colour balance and crop it a bit, it looks like a female or young Chaffinch to me, could possibly be female or young Greenfinch, unusual to see them land on you. I have had several birds perch on my lens or tripod leg, but as soon as I attempt to move to get a shot with my phone they are gone

    Keep posting the images and stories Tim, it is always good to see the faces behind the sounds.

    I like it ... lots But it would be pretty boring if we all had the same taste .

    Happy New Year to you all ... here is one from the first day of the new year, a Heron posing in front of the hide, odd this as usually they will take flight at the slightest movement.

    The scaffold platform out in the reservoir is usually the domain of the big Gulls and the Cormorants, there had been some squabbling between the Heron and the Cormorant A bit of bravado The Heron is saying anyway I caught one this big ... the Cormorant replies thats nothing I caught one this big
