Just trawling through a few boxes of Magazines and came across this from 1998. A 3 page spread on the 25th anniversary of Wigan and I found this description quite funny and true. " Enter the Casino, A basic no thrills dance hall that had sen better days. No flashing lights, no glitter ball, no dress codes, no pop music - and as the Sunday Times memorably noted - chicken in the basket was NOT a speciality! 🙂 The things you buy eh 🙂

Cheers Steve. I really want to see if the foxes come back "next door" as they were sharing the same area in the spring but didn't have the cam then. Now the foliage is going it may be better to get a bit more of the area. I've seen a couple of places along the river that may be interesting more into the winter to see what goes on there 👍

Not had any pictures just lately but had the trail cam out for a couple of nites at the badger sett. This entrance is about 10 feet below the top entrance and just started being used by the three badgers these past couple of weeks. The "lights" are leafs being reflected from the cam. I think I'll have to trim them next time IMG_0007.MP4

Phone pics of another good walk along the canal on another good Autumn day

Is this at Pennington Flash Steve?

Cheers mate. I think you may be right after looking at quite a few photos. The amount of white and "marbled" look just puzzle me for a bit. Lack of me camera again 👍

Wonder if anyone can help Identify this bird. Its definitely not a pigeon but was wondering if it could be a crow/magpie hybrid. Maybe a young crow with white markings. It was hopping about before flyinh off. Not the best photos as its the phone on zoom, taken at Dunham Park.

Nice one mate, you've put some fantastic photos up here, so we'll done 👍

Cheers Steve. This year seems to of seen an increase in parakeets around this area, or so it sounds like. Maybe because through lockdown and beyond its been a lot quieter so you hear them more. I've certainly heard and seen them all over this area covering the Sale & Altrincham suburbs

Dunham Park today. Quite a lot of Parrakeets knocking about making a racket and looks like a couple may have a home there

Yes mate, seen the signs etc and always take note. That day was very quiet and we did get off and push past the only couple we saw. Being a walker more than a biker I know how bad it can be so always take note of who's on the paths etc 👍

Yes mate. We went down the TPT (trans pennine trail) from dunham and got on the canal back to Lymm

The Towpath near Lymm, not far from the M6. Same towpath though 🙂

Had a good bike ride along the canal today amongst the Autumn colours

Looking through my books it's hard to tell sometimes with the markings, some birds look the same. You have to really know what to look out for. A bit like record collecting 😉

The dunes are big and long. Seen the Dolphins at Barmouth a couple of times but nothing this time. Red Kites and kingfishers on the Mawddach Trail which is always good 👍

A great few days in Wales, Dyffryn Ardudwy, in great weather. 1st photo is Barmouth Bridge, 2nd is the sun going down , 3rd is of Portmeirion, 4th is of Snowdon
