    Some cracking bird photo's on here, brilliant. A couple of waterfall shots of the same waterfall, Anglebeck Tarn Waterfall near to Hartsop in the Lakes. Taken with my phone. First is unfrozen on Saturday 17th March and the second is part frozen on Sunday 18th March. Also some Alpaca's at Pooley Bridge

    Yes Steve, have heard all about them. Lots around Chorlton/sale but a first for me. A mate of mine who works in the pest control has been called out a few times about them. Can cause a bit of damage as well.

    A few birds that come to a feeder at a house I was working at a few weeks back. All taken through the kitchen window. the last one is a Parakeet spotted along the River Mersey in Sale, near to Jackson Boat. First I have seen round these parts but have heard there are quite a few in the area.

    Happy belated new year :-) Great photos as always on here and I'll put a few up that Ive got just recently. Three from a very warm spring like day on Snowdon on Tuesday 13 March. Clear views from the summit, a Chinook flyby and a very still calm reflection of the horseshoe from Plas y Benin that had the photographers out in force. Great day

    A couple from a recent trip to Snowdonia doing the Cwm Llan Horseshoe :-) The first one is looking down on Glaslyn (the blue lake) and the second one is looking down on Llyn Lydaw

    Thanks Dave

    Cheers Steve, that's what I thought but the markings can throw you a bit. Quite a few in the area then an eagle comes along and the buzzards shrink in size

    Trying to identify this raptor if you can help. Again, like the wild cat photo, not the greatest as it was a fair distance away and at first I thought it was an eagle but soon dismissed that. Looks like a buzzard, but is it a common one ? looking at my bird book the markings point to a rough legged one but one of the more expert birders may put me right :-) Taken in Ardamurchan, Scotland Cheers

    That's brilliant. I knew they had little ones instead of eggs but knew nothing else. Excellent stuff, cheers

    Yes Steve, the wild cats are very rare and ardamurchan is a last strong hold. Just wished I'd got a video or clearer photo. The adder was just lying on the path in the afternoon sun, may of just had a meal as it took it's time to move on.

    Ha. I've got one of then snorkles, the bees knees as you find yourself talking to yourself and the fish

    Not been on here for a bit. Was up in the Ardamurchan Peninsula of Scotland in May, Kilchoan to be exact, what a fantastic place that is as well, highly recommended if you like peace and quiet and wildlife. The first is two seals just of the shore, the second is what I was hoping is a true Scottish wild cat but it's not a conclusive photo as it was dusk and zoomed in a bit. It was on the drive way of the cottage we were staying at and even the wild cat society can't say 100% if it's a true one or a hybrid. We know what we saw though ;-) The third is a first for me and is an adder basking on the path we were walking on :-)

    Certainly is a great piece of engineering. We said we'd have to go back for trip on a boat and go on the lift.
  15. Soulandy
    Anderton Boat lift complete with flying duck photo bombing :-). First time I have seen this, very impressive, the lift not the duck!!

    Another weekend in Snowdonia

    Great memories along with Windsford, Keele, Droylsden. For me, all at the right time as nowadays I'm lucky to get to a couple a year. Can't really comment on today's niter scene but yesterday was great. There are one or two from Keele knocking about on youtube, not sure about anywhere else but the memories wont go away.

    Had this little chap hanging round this morning. I think it's from a nest in next doors garden. I've seen them coming and going for quite a few weeks and the parent birds keep coming to my feeder for the fat balls. This young un sat and preened for about 15 minutes or so. A young Blackbird

    Steve Yes you're probably right. I was looking at the juvenile whinchat in my book. They all look the bloody same and in my defence I didn't have me specs on :-) Come to think about it, there was quite a few flitting about the area as well as a lot of sky larks.
  20. Soulandy
    had a mooch around the Carneddau area of Snowdonia on Monday and came across my first swallow of the year as well as a Stonechat and what I think is a Whinchat, another first
  21. Soulandy
    Two from Snowdonia. The first, part of the disused Rhossydd. Slate Quarry, the second, a panoramic of a distant Snowdon, the pointy "Welsh Matterhorn" - Cnicht & the Moelwyns. The third is of the Newlands Valley, carved out by a Glacier, in the Lake District

    Had a wander round Dunham Park on Saturday and apart from the Swan making a fuss it was quite peaceful
  23. Soulandy
    First wasp of the year buzzing round the room where I was working today. A couple of pigeons trying to keep warm and dry in yesterday's rain while keeping their beady eye's on me :-)
  24. Soulandy
    I think there's too many groups on FB full stop. Some are very good and quite relaxed and some have more rules, do's and don'ts that you can shake a stick at Glad you like my wanderings :-)

    A couple from a walk up Crinkle Crags and Bow Fell on Saturday. Despite the artic look it was surprisingly warm with very little wind
