Was gutted I missed this Dragonfly emerging from the pond but still left the nymph husk on the iris stem Steve

Great Pictures Martyn. Have you moved to the countryside from deepest darkest wolves mate , just with you saying various farms dotted around the area. Steve

Roger and Hoss in a lift at a nighter somewhere in Manchester ( cant remember where ) Doors open on the floor where the record bar was. Roger and Hoss on their knees pretending to be having sex doggy style . The look on their faces was priceless as they supposedly had been caught. The look on the faces of lots of punters in the record bar was even better. You had to be there Steve

Roger . Who ? Steve

Len. For my input to this just got to say Roger used to run one of the best soul nights I can remember at Chorley Town Hall in the 90,s. When Roger and the lovely Jenny got married it happened to coincide with the Wilton Nighter. Guess who went ? Jenny even turned up in her wedding dress. What a night that was When Roger first started DJ,ing he would always jump off stage and dance then try and get back behind the decks before the record ended to start the next one Steve

Looking good Steve. One of my mates has two marine tropical tanks, cant even go on holiday anymore because of the looking after they need. Steve

Me. Love the life I live. Live the life I love. Inked on both sides of my neck. One of my fave tunes and just so apt for this lifestyle Steve

I,m the same as you Martyn . ( only taller, younger and better looking ) They must think its a gun that we point at them not a lens Steve

Good evening my friend. Hope your well When your looking one way and a bird flies and then lands in the opposite direction is quite difficult to get a picture, luckily for me my new camera can fire off ten frames per second so I had a go, not that would have had a chance with my old five frames per second camera. Steve

Caught this Heron out of the corner of my eye at the last second as it touched down Steve Bit easier to see once it was settled Steve

All the tmg 500 series are very collectable these days. But as you say £150 way off. I would have thought the same as you Steve

Fishing rod or pole. Sod the golf when you have a lake like that. Steve

Won't be seeing you at grumpy tonight then mate. Enjoy Steve

Good evening trust you and Mr W are well that looks lovely .Do cactus flowers have scent ? Steve

This picture shows a dolphin watching boat not disappointing the clients on board as one surfaces just metres in front of it. Taken from Newquay harbour and heavily cropped Steve Life on a ocean wave. Well in Cardigan bay Steve

Thanks Peter. New fangled technology. Apparently I can extract still photographs from videos if something looks good or something special happens whilst I'm recording. Got so much more to get to grips with on this camera. Massive step up from previous model. Are you any closer to buying one yet mate ? Steve

Hopefully the video clip opens. Feedback please. The sound quality hasn't transferred over properly. Sorry about that. Steve

Heres something completly new from me . My new camera has video so this is my first ever attempt. Taken during my recent stay at the Swallows rest cottage. This is the view and sound from the front door Steve VID-20160621-WA0001.mp4

Kevin. Top one is Motown. The history. Sharon Davis and the other is Where did our love go Steve

Good evening and thank you my friend for once again the lovely comments. On the Skomer island visits she joins me. She absolutely loves the puffins and you can get literally two feet away from some of them. Plus it's normally a nice twenty minute boat journey and its a very healthy , brisk walk. The Badger pictures are taken normally when I'm mooching about n Lou is in the cottage. What I've not mentioned is when we got to Newquay. We parked up and walked down to the harbour where two bottle nosed dolphins where happily feeding away inside the harbour walls no further away than 50 metres, couldn't believe it. Where was the camera. ? Still in the car. Walked/ run back to the car but on my return the dolphins had followed the fish and retreating tide out into the bay. We saw in total about 12 different dolphins. It was a very special sight. Lou was jumping up and down with excitement screaming and shouting like a little girl. She had never seen them before. Will check to see if I managed any pictures. Steve

Here's another first for me. A skomer vole. Unfortunately for me it was dead and in the talons of this short eared owl. The vole is a sub species of the bank vole found in the UK but it has been separated from its mainland cousins for that long that its evolving in its own way as a species Steve

These two pictures where taken with a 400ml lens from about 200 yards away on a small boat just after we had left Skomer island. It shows a Greater black backed gull eating a puffin. Not very clear for which I apologise, I blame the skipper of the boat for not been able to keep the boat still in the swell Steve

Just love this shot of the Puffin down its burrow

Something a little bit different for me. Don't know what sort of Bee it is unfortunately. It was just about to land when I managed this picture. Must get myself a decent insect recognition book Steve
