    Russell. That's so spooky. It started to rain here in Manchester believe it or not and the swallows just sat there, ruffling there feathers then preening themselves as though they where having a shower and enjoying their selves before there mamouth journey south. Steve

    Sat out in the garden this morning listening to a chiffchaff and watching a couple of swallows perched on a phone cable. Steve

    Might even pop along to the Irish centre to see what all this northern soul thing /fuss is all about. Steve

    Just curious as to what happened to the London issue that recently turned up. Its all gone silent. Did the person that found it decide to sell or has he kept it. Steve

    Fishing yesterday and over the five hours actually lakeside there must have been approximately two thousand house Martin's flew over in various sized flocks. All heading south. the largest contained about two hundred bird's.A sure sign that Autumn is creeping up on us. Such a sad time of year for me as one of the highlights of the year is when the Swallows, Martin's and Swifts turn up so to see them leave means I have to wait till next March/ April till I see them again.

    Hi Russell . Been away since Sat night. I meant continental Europe. The only mist netting that takes place in the UK that I'm aware of is for fitting identity rings on migrant and sometimes UK resident birds. Steve

    Thanks Dave. That's the problem in a lot of southern European countries. If it moves or flies shoot it. There's a big push by the RSPB at the moment to try and stop a lot of the illegal shooting and mist netting that takes place in the spring and autumn during the migration periods. Steve

    Chris. I know you take your camera with you when you go fishing re the pike picture, so please try and get some of the bearded tits. That would be special. Steve

    Here's a couple of pictures taken earlier this year in Pembrokeshire. the Bullfinches where a everyday sighting but these happened to be the only pictures that I managed to capture Steve

    Now that's a bird I would like to see, I've spent hours at Leighton moss rspb reserve trying to see them . hope this winter is a cross of my list Steve
  15. Winsford Soul
    Chris. They're fabulous birds. It's always a joy to see them. Only seen them in my garden the once. Can't remember if I posted any pictures of them from my holiday earlier this year from down near Tenby.

    Dave. forgot to add. Your pictures make me smile because theirs always a stunning blue sky in the background somewhere Steve

    60,s newies that's a contradiction in itself, surely they would have been newies in the 60,s . Ady. why ask the question now. Are you starting to doubt your own ability and taste in music, Please don't. I first heard the term 60,s newies back in the 80,s when mark bicknall, jumpin joan, roger banks etc, etc where pushing the boundaries musically at various venues up and down the country Steve

    Here's a juvenile chaff finch going through its first feather change to adult plumage taken last Monday Hardcastle crag Steve

    I'm not in the bit envious Dave. Sat here in rain sodden Manchester. With 24 /7 neighbour's and traffic. No smileys on my Kindle so can't put up a sarcastic smile. Steve
  20. Winsford Soul
    Same here. Hope your spoiling Gill. Steve

    Just went into the garden and seen this spider. The fly never had a chance Steve

    This picture of a Hobby was taken less than a minute after I had removed my 400ml lens and replaced it with a 200ml lens. I was trying to photograph a bright blue dragon fly about 60 maybe 70 cms long when I heard the swallows distress calling looked up and the hobby was flying over about 100 metres above me . that's typical of the luck I've had lately.

    Forgot to post this yesterday. I have a school at the back of my house and in between us is a field with some rather large tree's. At one point there where 16 magpies in the one tree. It's something that I have never seen before. Anyone on here experienced anything similar with such a large amount gathered together ? Steve

    Good evening my friend. Weather's been quite good considering the forecast in the six hour walk it probably rained for 30 minutes and that wasn't heavy, much to my disappointment. Wanted to try my new jacket out. Steve

    Been out and about in them there hills above hebden bridge today at a place called hardcastle crag. Walked about 9 miles of the 15 miles of paths that are available. Quite hard going in a few places especially with big camera bag pack weighing about 12kilos. Not much wildlife about seen a few dippers and a grey wagtail, no picture's of dippers again. Found a hardcastle crag speciality which I had never seen before.the hairy wood ant Britain's largest ant. Will have a look later to see if any decent pictures. Steve
