No. If you don't know who they are your not worthy. Sorry no smiley things. On a serious note. IMHO There's nothing wrong with the records mentioned in the article infact I like them but the thing is at a nighter the unwritten law is original vinyl only.END OF. That's how I was brought up on this scene and I'm sure over 90% of people would have been to. Steve

Pete. I went back to station road once.even though I said I would never go back. Me and a lady friend went for a walk one night from one of the Wigan maxines niters . Sat on the wall opposite where it used to be. One of the strangest and saddest night's of my life. Still makes me sad today thinking back. Steve

Dave. It's amazing when you start digging a little deeper into a subject you think you know. Then all these amazing things start to appear and it turns out that you have only just scratched the surface. Isn't life wonderful when you discover that you have only just started the particular journey. Steve

With all the time that I've been lucky enough to have had off work this year I've managed to get my British bird count up to 130 different species. That includes summer and winter migrants. There's still a lot to see. I noticed that there wasn't that many waders and Ducks on my list so maybe have to get out and about to some estuaries this winter to up the count. Steve

Dave. Nail on the head mate. Fun, that's what life should be. Steve

Dave. Your not competitive by any chance are you mate. Never had anyone overtake me. That's class and just the sort of thing I would say. The shrike I seen in Turkey was perched on a telegraph pole as we went past in a coach but luckily for me we where in a little bit of traffic so was going quite slow and got chance to get a good view Steve
-
Dave. It certainly looks like a great grey shrike. Only ever seen one and that was bout 15 years ago in Turkey. Steve

Scree has got to be the worst thing in the world for walking on, it slides underfoot,it wrecks your boots, your knees ache and if you slip you just know it's going to hurt and cut your hands. I try to avoid it if at all possible. Steve

That's a night I wish to forget. I was ill and couldn't go there. Chuck Jackson must have had a jinx on me . I also missed him when he was on with I think Lorraine Chandler somewhere. Finally got to see him at the Northampton weekender about 5 or 6 years ago.must admit it was worth the wait. Absolutely amazing performance and then had the pleasure of chatting to the great man and his lovely wife. Steve

Dave. How high is Sierra Nevada ? Not that I'm questioning the 3 hours. Just curious about height of the mountain. I'm assuming it's a very hot and dry area even at altitude. Steve

Had a great day out and about in north Wales. Went up the great orme at Llandudno and went down into the bronze age mine workings. Didn't take the camera down with me as didn't know what to expect. Will be back with camera to share some of the sights.was superb. Then ended up in betswy coed up in Snowdonia. I had forgotten how stunning the place is.Treated myself to a jacket I've been promising myself for ages a berghaus mera peak gortex jacket from Cotswold outdoors. Priced matched it and got myself a £100 knocked off the price. One tired after a 230 mile drive and a good few hours walking but happy person. Steve

Seen a solitary swift this evening. 15th August is the latest I have ever seen one in the ten years that I have been keeping notes. One of my mates has seen them on the 17th August . So there's still a chance, weather permitting. Steve

Just sat in the garden enjoying the sunshine when completely out of the blue a buzzard flew not more than 50 foot above where I was sat. A very common Bird of prey these days but it's only the 2nd one I've seen out of my back garden where I live. I see them a few miles away quite regularly but not here. And I also seen a couple of Swifts. Steve
-
Just seen five Swifts going about there normal flight hunting for insects flight as opposed to heading South flight Happy chap tonight, really thought I had seen the last of them on Wednesday till next May Steve

Russell. It certainly looks like a kittiwake you can just make out its black wing tips. Regards the previous post. I've fished since I was a five year old . It's in my blood, Just love the outdoors day or night regardless of the weather. There's a famous saying. There's no such thing as bad weather just bad clothes. Which is so very true, providing you have the right gear and experience why shouldn't you get out and about and enjoy this fabulous countryside. Steve

Sad day. Not seen or heard any Swifts in the Manchester skies since Wednesday Was fishing at Milton green south of Chester yesterday, loads of Swallows and House martins. Seen a kingfisher, loads of Buzzards. One Hobby. Chiff chaffs singing and flitting about plus all the usual suspects. Oh I caught loads of carp too Steve
