20210908_135615.mp4 This one's for Mal. I don't land every fish. There was about 15 metres of elastic ( 16 hollow ) out when I lost that particular one. Actually landed 41 carp today upto about 10lb, it was rather hot sat in the sun all day with no shade. , still 30'C at 5.30pm when I was driving home from Chester PS. At the end of the video clip you can see another carp down to the right hand side waiting to be caught . In the last video clip I managed to catch a Carp about 4lb Swim ended up like a jacuzzi, had to stop feeding so they would settle down VID_61180311_033101_484.mp4 20210908_141301.mp4

Male Kingfisher. Pennington Flash

If its true . Wouldn't believe everything on social media.

Few from up on the moors above Crowden near Buxton ( this is actually the 2nd day of the pennine way when starting from Buxton ) this morning in the haze before the sun burnt it off. It was 12 months ago today that I was up there watching the Bearded Vulture, Hoping to see some of the local breeding Ring Ouzel before they migrate to sunnier climes but it wasn't to be, still plenty of Rowan berries on the trees so hopefully the Ouzel are still up on the tops yet and haven't started their migration which seems quite possible due to the numbers of berries. Hopefully will go back next week

Russell. It's been going a few years now. Remember a Seal that looked like it was smiling winning it one year

Mass indoor entertainment. Apparently It's for venues of 500 and more in Scotland, hopefully this fcukwit government will decide like the Welsh have that it's a no go as been to discriminatory

You've been framed. That time of year when the farmers are harvesting the grass for silage

There's a strange yellow / orange bright thing in the blue skies. Anyone know what it is ?

First visit to Elton this morning since late May and another gloomy day. August was the cloudiest ever over Greater Manchester and September is following the same route, awful for taking any pictures but managed a couple Juvenile Chiffchaff . Female Sparrow hawk against the gloomy featureless sky

Ed it was played out here in the North West in the mid to late 90,s early 2000,s at various venues and was quite popular, bought mine at Lowton civic in about 95 for £25 on a Pye pink promo

Thank you for posting as always my friend. . Don't see one record that's worthy of Auction all every day run of the mill records in my humble opinion, but hey what do I know. Johnny Gilliam. Long time no hear but surely not at that price. Sold my Sonny Boy Williamson for £40 more than that 12 years ago . Well past its sell by date as is most R n B type stuff these days.

Funk Brothers. The real sound of Motown. What a tribute

A few from the gloom of Pennington flash this morning. The hides have finally opened after nearly 18 months Nuthatch. Willow Tit. Now one of Britain's fastest declining birds and is Red listed as endangered, but Wigan and the surrounding area is the last stronghold in the North of England Greenfinch with two fledglings Willow Warbler. Tufted Duck Juvenile i think

Mal. It's a lizard with no legs mate, looks like a worm / snake

Hugh. It's you mate. . Hope you and the lovely Yvonne are well. I've been out 3 of the I think possible 6 weekends since everything opened, 2 where fantastic Stafford rangers soul night and Swinton nighter. Stoke never again. Sorry its not for me anymore . Choose your venues and you will be ok. Got Rugby and Wigan nighters and a cheeky soul night at Ashton to sneak in over the next 3 weeks . Can't wait

Thanks Steve. So sorry. He was a good lad. .

It was with great sadness that last night I learned of the passing away of a old friend. Tony Foden. His knowledge and taste in music was fantastic with a great sense of fun and mischief ,originally from Wythenshawe but moved down to Colwyn Bay about 10 years ago after his Mum passed away. Today the world is a much sadder and darker place without your smile my friend. Until we meet again. Goodnight and God bless. Sleep well Tony and rest in soulful peace. Lots of Love Steve n lou. XX X

Thanks Neil ☺ Have a fab Bank Holiday weekend
