    Hope to be out plant hunting this weekend, too wet in England this last weekend to do much, so dug these out of my archive, just a few of a big family that are very difficult to sort out.

    A bit of both maybe, especially with a tight budget, and it looks much nicer than the Outtasight or Goldmine 7's crap

    It could be Suzanne, but it's wings were tiny. Scared the bejesus out of me as it wasn't prepared to move very far when I was trying to photograph the Prunus prostrata

    Dark Red Helleborine Small Flowered Tongue Orchid I have no idea what this is, a very large grasshopper or a weird cricket, it was about 3" long.

    That's sad, I rescued a little sparrow chick from the cat this morning, it was unhurt and I put him in a visible position for his parents to see him and they were feeding him within a couple of minutes. The cat brings in geckos, snakes, birds, all sorts, and comes out walking the dogs with me. Dave

    I had a couple nest behind the branch of an espalier pear, but they fell victim to a squirrel, sadly. This one was in a Jacaranda, and looked beautiful, but decided to move when I tried to take a pic. Dave

    I didn't realise I missed the British native plants so much, hope to see a few this weekend.

    sideways again, but it's a Female Pied Flycatcher Peacock in Benalmadena Pseudobombax ellipticum flower, better known as the shaving brush tree. Sorry about them being on their sides, but I take photos with the camera on the side, despite revolving them they come on here in their original form, sickening!!

    I don't get it either, if it's a birthday party what has it got to do with anyone else apart from the manager/ owner of the venue and the people hosting the party. The majority of the people who are going to be guests are unlikely to be regulars of the place.

    We've waited long enough for the film, I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD as I won't be flying back until September, however the CD's have a few of my favourites on them so that's a start.

    Ran out of likes again, beautiful pics Martyn, once had four Tawny Owl chicks on the end of my bed when in the army, most disturbing to wake up to

    And you'll get to see storks at the end of it, maybe even a local with polydactylism or webbed feet too! Dave

    My memory is somewhat a blur, but some lads from the Boston area (I think) used to wind people up pretending to be "Veg Squad", being caught with vegetables of any kind being criminal, funny as fcuk when coming back from Cleethorpes in the mid 70's.

    It looks like you don't have to keep your fingers crossed Steve, just get yourself to Norfolk Dave
  15. Tattoodave
    Not to a niter, but a load of us (19) nicked an ambulance to go to Lincoln v Peterborough in 1975, blue light and sirens all the way
  16. Tattoodave
    There were several different sellers, quite surprised to see Lorraine Chandler for £75 on there, thought it was worth more
  17. Tattoodave
    Have a look on Discogs, sure I saw some of them for sale on there. Dave
  18. Tattoodave
    I'm sure it could happen Steve, though I wouldn't keep your fingers crossed. Plenty for them to eat here, lizards, snakes and frogs as well as smaller birds. I've come to the conclusion that London's sparrows have left for an easier life by the coast or to other parts of Europe, they are abundant here, and locally their only predators are cats. Saw Sardinian warbler yesterday, pretty little thing, but shy. Dave

    A bit grainy, but my camera isn't sophistictaed She does have a baby, but it wasn't obliging Phlomis herba-venti Too windy for much today, a weird terrain and very dry
  20. Tattoodave
    Yaffle is my favourite English bird
  21. Tattoodave
    Hello Steve, been to Tarifa today, Storks, Turkey Vultures, Eagles and others, but much too windy. Took a few photos of plants but not much. I might share some once I've had a look to see if they're worth it. Dave

    What a voice, pure class
  23. Tattoodave
    I'd be there in a flash if they were that close, I had to go 100 miles to see the giant orchid at the top of El Torcal, and I'm scared of heights Giant Orchid Man Orchid Yellow Bee Orchid Again none scarce, just take some finding.

    I know a record shop owner that advises all the charity shops in his area, he manages to get the best stuff himself and tells them fairly what others are worth. Oxfam said they didn't need him, they actually buy in from the other charity shops when they think they can make a profit, charity shop madness at it's best

    Mirror orchid No common name Bumblebee Orchid None that rare here if you know where to look and what you're looking for. Still can't figure out why a picture that's upright on my laptop comes on here sideways, too much gin methinks.
