    Martyn. How very dare you question my upright ability. When I take picture in portrait mode my recently updated Canon software auto turns them to standard mode but for some reason when I upload them they revert back to portrait style. Confused by it all. Will have to have a look. Steve

    The view from as close to the edge from the top of the falls as I wanted to go. Steve

    Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall, the long drop is 80 metres, which makes it the tallest single drop waterfall in Wales, its actually taller than Niagara falls Steve

    Still Swifts about this morning. Not expecting them much longer though. Last year August 7th was the last day I saw them in the skies above Manchester Got a few picture's from today's visit to pistell rhaeadr waterfall. Will sort through and post them up Steve

    Chris. I have to travel 60 miles to see sand martins. Don't know of any colonies nr Manchester. Always lots of house martins , swallows and swifts here. I must be lucky with house sparrows, still plenty about up here. As you say gold and greenfinches are now very common. I think they have both entered the top ten most common bird list., goldfinches definitely have. Just on my way to see the highest waterfall in Wales at a place called pistell rhaeyadr. Hope to have plenty of pictures to post later Steve

    Russell. Apparently the Netherlands are one of the best places in Europe to see Eagle owls. They have even been reported as breeding in a few secret places in the UK. I,m lucky enough to hear/see tawny owls very regular probably on a weekly basis Steve

    Martyn. See them every time I,m fishing but never take my camera. Top pictures as always Steve

    Dave. Would love to see a Hoopoe. That's another bird on my list, apparently they turn up regularly down south. Not known in the north west as far as I'm aware. You will have to keep us informed regarding the Swifts. You can gladly have some of this rain that's fell in the Manchester area this last 24 hrs. Steve

    Love the pictures Russell. Didn't mean to make summer's over as dramatic as it sounded sorry bout that. As you say it's only the 2nd of August. Another bird that's missing around here at the moment is the chiff chaff, normally hear it untill September, all gone quite unless they're moulting after the breeding season getting there feathers in shape for the migration. It's a very quiet time for birding at the moment. Steve

    Yeah . Got to agree I'm getting dizzy watching it go round and round again and again. Steve

    Daily update. Swifts still in the Manchester skies Steve
  20. Winsford Soul
    Well it's sadly that time of year again when we are saying goodbye to the Swifts. They will have left within a week. As they begin their long and perilous journey back to south Africa. Only seems like a few weeks ago when they arrived back in the skies over Manchester. I for one really miss the screeching overhead. A sure sign that summer is on its way out . Steve

    That's a nice Pike Chris. Grew up with a stuffed and mounted 25lb that my Dad caught. I remember him telling me that it cost 25 guinea s and it would have been the same again for the glass case but he couldn't afford it. It's so not acceptable these days. Steve
