  4. Dave .Goldmime. A compilation of DJ,s
  5. Another from today Chough. Uk rarest member of the Crow family in stealth bomber mode and a Atlantic grey seal pup with a obviously itchy nose
  6. Achieved a lifetimes ambition today and actually managed to photograph a Osprey, only ever seen them when i,ve never had a camera with me. It didnt managed to catch any Mullet in the few hours i was there so i,m guessing it will be here for another few days yet so hopefully will actually see it catch a fish
  7. Hopefully this is Just a little taster of things to come but far better image quality Grainy picture with a high ISO of 6400
  8. It was on my list of places to visit this time down but unfortunately out of bounds can't even get back to the Gower, think I will be ok for the botanical gardens of Wales at the moment .
  9. Cheers mate. Chatroom later
  10. Nice to see one of my photographs displayed on a 3ft X 2ft canvas in the cottage where I'm staying. The owner was the first person to ask me could he buy a print and have it transferred to canvas to display.
  11. The view i have to wake up to now for the next 3 weeks
  12. Looking a bit stormy there Russell. Well it's Pembrokeshire for me in the morning and ever the optimist packed 4 pair shorts and two grown up pair of long pants. Got the waterproofs etc for out and about for the wildlife pictures but I'm like the postman who wears shorts virtually all the time. Its less clothing to get wet and consequently much easier to dry
  13. Definitely no chicks Dave, they eat maybe 4 goldfinch, sparrows a day and it will be a male Sparrowhawk with it only taking small birds. The female will take woodpidgeon, magpie, grey squirrel etc.
  14. Lorraine. Fantastic. Not seen any for years apart from the odd dead one on the road. Thanks for posting it. X
  15. Graham. I've been lucky enough to see the Sparrowhawk ( male ) on the garden fence a few times and even managed to get a few pictures. Never seen them make a kill but now and again there's evidence on the grass of a successful hunt. Definitely agree with you on the no young to feed this time of year bit mate. I've posted a link for Dave which has some interesting stuff
  16. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_sparrowhawk Dave. Plenty of information here on Sparrowhawks.
  17. Sounds like me mate. Two feeders full a day of sunflower hearts. The goldfinch are fantastic to see around the feeders,
  18. Looks good Graham Birds will have sunflower seeds, hearts on tap
  19. Thanks for posting Andy. Very interesting reading and a privilege for me to actually see the bird. One i will never forget, infact the last 12 months have been fantastic (current situation excluded) , managed to see and photograph some if not all of the following special things. Neowise comet. Snow Bunting, 6 Barn Owl on one evening along with Short eared Owls. Water Voles. 20 plus Ring Ouzel on the same day as the lammergeier. Red kite over my garden, amongst other things. Thanks for the good holiday wishes mate Hopefully will get some pictures to post on here.
  20. Went my very first nighter in May/ June 75 at the Casino just as I left school. 45 years later I'm still going nighters . ( present climate exempt ) 75 through 81 really was the greatest time of my life and shaped my life and me as the person I am now.
  21. Thanks for sharing as always Gladys Knight. £350 OMG Sam & Kitty. £494. Madness Who pays these prices
  22. On line DJ,s at BVAN ( Bury virtual all nighter ) have been fantastic , the music has and is as good as I have heard anywhere country wide over many years at real nighters, yes we,re all missing the face to face contact, conversation and interaction but until this shit is under control its all we have. This isn't Video / fb/ instragm but a social interaction via a chatroom. From a personal point of view as a still active member of the nighter scene its a fantastic escape
  23. https://www.mlive.com/life/2020/09/motown-artist-tops-new-rolling-stone-500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-list.html
  24. Andy. If I hear anything different mate I will let you know. Starting to get that holiday feeling today, Saturday can't get here quickly enough now. Badgers, rural foxes ( not the tame urban ones ) hopefully Otters, not counting the bird life. Sunsets, Milky way photos ( hopefully )
