Amazing to think you actually saw it to get the photo! Brilliant

Thanks Andy. After spending most of my life fishing and loving nature,  birds in particular you kind of get a eye or second sense for any sudden movement no matter how small then it's just a case of stopping still and seeing what happens. Thanks again

This photo was taken last summer, any ideas ???    Was told that it had something to do with the tour of Britain.WP_20170521_15_13_28_Pro.thumb.jpg.091e095789c8358a58da7e5a908690aa.jpg

Ste. I've just been having a closer look at the picture.  I now think its one of  those Ghost Bikes that's from when sadly someone has been killed in a cycling accident and its a memorial to the rider

What a beautiful little miracle. He’s lovely Ste, bought a tear to my eye seeing his tiny face.

Thanks for clearing that up for us Dylan :thumbup:

I've just seen the later post where it suggests it might be a memorial.

 

it may have become one at a later date after its initial purpose.  It would make a fitting memorial. 

 

I have seen ghost bikes painted white where a cyclist has been killed.

Dylan. There's plenty of ghost bikes in and around Manchester but I've never seen a yellow one either mate.  . The reason I mentioned it as a ghost bike is the amount of flowers and notes etc posted on the bike plus it's on one of  the quietest lanes that I know of that's well off the beaten track. No where near the tour  passed, it's actually near the  St Helens, Widnes, Warrington border. Hope that helps

I am sure you must be right.  That amount of flowers can sadly only suggest one thing.

ID question for Martyn 

 I think its a Willow Warbler but not sure ?

It was sulking about in the bush not calling or singing so I couldn't ID it that way . Sorry its not a clear picture mate couldn't get a clean shot through the branches then it disappeared.
