  1. Just driving through Middleton about two hundred yards from where the old civic centre nighters used to be held when I saw my first-ever ring necked parakeet . It flew across in front of my car and landed in a tree in somebody's front garden.. Well chuffed. Steve
  2. Suz. Good to have you back posting from your lovely part of the country Steve
  3. Take care Ian. Get well soon Steve
  4. Neil. Why quote northern soul as just been from 1965-1969. Yes I understand that plenty of soul records where released in those years, but many if not even more where released after that time. Steve
  5. Another day. Another name. What next. Who honestly gives a toss. A good soul record is a good soul record, whether it's danceable or not . Rare or common. Cheap or expensive. Plus unless it's a new release they're ALL old records Steve
  6. Oops. Had forgotten about my sabbatical. Will have to get my camera in work. Two pairs of grey wagtails . One with a very dark almost black head. Very striking bird Steve
  7. Martyn. Some of us have been stuck in work while others are obviously out enjoying themselves. Steve
  8. Swifty. My old Garland Green revue demo was a minter mate Steve
  9. Martyn. They're cheeky pests. Once had one trying to get in my keepnet whilst I was fishing a match on the river weaver near Northwich. As you say it's the last think you need on a reserve. They destroyed my dad's pond. Killing every fish including koi to nearly ten pounds.didn't eat any of them. Savage murderers with no natural predators. Only consolation is as the otter population increases the mink are decreasing. Steve
  10. Just managed to catch these two Mistle thrushes mating and the goldfinch obviously doing the bird equivalent of dogging Steve
  11. Was surprised to this Moorhen chick . It looks about two weeks old judging by the size of it compared to the adult. You can just see the residue still attached to the beaks from the adult feeding its young Steve
  12. Good to see you posting again Dave. Some fantastic flowers, Shrubs etc as always Heading for rspb Burton mere wetlands reserve shortly hopefully returning with some decent photographs Steve
  13. Russell. Thanks for posting. A very interesting short article. Steve
  14. Russell .They arrive via Schiphol mate Steve
  15. Russell. I always thought they arrived in the south west of Ireland and the Scilly isles first then gradually moved eastward. your right about the migration chart kit would be interesting Steve
  16. Once again the working God's are against me. One day. I will make it. Steve
  17. That's great news Russell. It's almost a week now since my first sighting of the year for the house Martin's and swallows in the north west of the UK. .. so by rights I would imagine that they have also reached the Netherlands. Keep us posted. Steve
  18. Russell. That's great to capture the behaviour of the grebes and coots like that and to give the commentary as you did. Have you ever thought of becoming a narrator. ? Love the sunset pictures too. Steve
  19. Take no notice of what anyone tells you.. Do your own thing because everyone else is. But the most important thing is that you Enjoy yourself. Steve
  20. Surely that would be the 8 before 3........... Steve
  21. Nice one Dave. Had a lovely Janie Grant west coast demo till I sold up a few years ago Steve
  22. Never ever seen a Janie Grant issue. WOW. I'm impressed Steve
  23. Just got home from a day out and about. Pennington Flash this morning then drove up to Leighton Moss. Seen and heard my first chiffchaff of the year along with a singing cetti,s warbler at Pennington Flash. But the highlight,s of the day had to be the 50 plus avocets at Leighton and the approximate 40 -50 house Martin's and 10 swallows. The earliest that I have ever seen either in this country. April 2nd. Seen house Martin's at the end of March in the republic of Ireland about 17 year's back. Will go through the pictures when I get chance Steve
