This was the view I had today between swims. Sorry if my legs put you off your evening meal.

Red Squirrel in strange red light filtered through the reddish brown branches of the Conifers Lesser Black backed gull Both taken hand held during a 10K walk with the image stabilisation off ( dick head me hadn't switched it back on from using it with the tripod )

Geoff. Its in Darlington at the RA Club

Marsh Orchid

Not much about today, even less pictures that are any good Broad Bodied Chaser is about the best

Thanks Harry. I'm not on FB and I hope I haven't stepped on your toes by posting this on here . I will delete if you want to post your pictures mate Ste

Sorry about the image quality but I had to share this . What a way to remember John by. Its absolutely fantastic 🙏 Next time I'm up in the North East I will pause awhile and have a chat with you mate. Sleep well now

Thanks . I hadnt noticed it was the two line variant. I had the one line Atlantic / Atco distribution copy Ste

Thanks for posting them. I need another Sam & Kitty , think its too much myself but what do I know 🤔Great record and probably my all time favourite. Can't separate that and Al Williams.

Never played at any Nighter that i have ever been or Soul night that i can remember, plenty of weddings , parties etc but thats it

This Male Greater Spotted Woodpecker loves this old post. They don't half give it some as you can see, its battered and splintered

Wood Mouse. First time I've used the Conon Flash gun with the 500mm Lens and Tripod mounted Quite happy with the results from about 4 metres away

Mr Dean Parrish . Sleep well and may you rest in soulful peace and thank you for playing your part in the soundtrack of my life 🙏

John. Blocked me for saying one particular record wasnt worthy of a auction .Not that i lost any sleep over it. Lol But its his business and he runs it how he see,s fit and very successfully . So what do i know

Couple of Badger pictures taken at ISO 16000 and a very short video clip IB2A9967_Trim.mp4

Definitely can't blame John. Not his fault the dickheads out there are willing to pay these prices. I love the Drifters and used to play both that and I'm In a world of trouble out regularly and always to a good response from the floor

Picture No 5 for me Dave. Atmospheric

Thank you my friend for posting as always. Definitely someone needs a head wobble the Drifters is a £100 record and £150 for the red and white demo. That is fcuking pathetic. There was one on here not that long ago Sweet Things . I'm in a world of trouble should be renamed I'm in a world of people with more money than sense. Omg. These prices never ever cease to absolutely gobsmack me.

Greater Spotted Woodpecker ( Male )

Evening Neil. Thank you as always. Really appreciated. The Jays really a stunning birds and this time of year very secretive normally the best time to see them is the Autumn when they are collecting Acorns The Guillemot picture is really cropped to show it a bit better

Green Bridge of Wales. First attempt at using my Big stopper filter. It was taken in bright sunlight and its used to blur the movement of the water by allowing a much slower shutter speed, bit more practice and bigger waves / rougher seas

Guillemots on Stack Rocks ( Elegug Stacks ) Pembrokeshire Believe it or not there's actually eggs and chicks in that lot. Unbelievable

A few more from today. Wild Bee,s nest in a old Tawny Owls nest hole looking like they are ready to swarm. Juvenile male Woodpecker on a telegraph pole and a Jay the UK,s most colourful member of the Corvid family and a massive predator of young birds

Thanks mate 👍. The Swallow are stunning when you catch the light properly. . The MOD land is open some weekends but normally closed as its the Tank regiment training ground the area was closing at 10pm yesterday and as we where leaving they where running a few Challenger tanks around. Man they are big when your close up and bloody noisy and as for scaring the shit out of the Peregrine its pretty scary😱 trying to peer over that drop with a big lens precariously balancing in your hands
