Hope to be still awake. A presenter on GMR played Dobie Gray today and said it's for everyone who likes this sort of music and why shouldn't everyone like it, it's brilliant. Steve

Gaz. Didn't think it snowed in Runcorn, with the I.C.I to keep you warm.. Nice picture mate. One question where's the bird's Steve

Tenby. North beach Steve

I know, that's why I posted it Steve

Gaz. your more farty than arty mate Ste

Don't screw it to tight now Martyn. Bet that 500mm lens is as big as you mate. Steve

Russell . Big thanks from a rather wet Manchester for the show us your bird and wildlife thread. Looking forward to sharing many more photographs with everyone on this new thread Steve

Hope I've interpreted this right too. If you have a look in J Manships bootleg guide you will see hundreds of issues that have been booted alongside demos. Steve

Philippe. I'm so jealous. I wish I was living lost in the woods. Instead of lliving lost in a suburban concrete jungle of Manchester. Hope your safe and not in the forest that those two terrorists have been hiding in. Steve

Thought I had a brand new bird to tick off my list today. There's been confirmed sightings of a cattle egret on the Mersey estuary at Widnes and hale marshes, so went for a quick mooch and when I got near the marsh I could see a white heron like bird on one of the lagoons.Using my best fieldcraft I managed to get about 50 metres from it. Guess what. It was a little egret. Still never mind, always nice to see. Steve

Thank you Philippe. It is called a Water Rail.it's a very shy and secretive bird about half the size of a moorhen. It spends most of its time sulking about in reed beds and thick undergrowth next to lakes. Today was the first time I have managed to get a photograph of one. Very pleased with myself Steve

Pete. Hope your keeping well mate. I tried about a hour ago and had problems with ticket master website. Chalky The tickets for Manchester was £55 plus £3.50 booking fee Steve

Where else is she on please gents. Please don't say first two weeks in June. Am on holiday Steve

Heres a few from yesterday and today out and about Could,nt get a uncluttered picture of the Water Rail unfortunately Steve

Paid a visit to Leighton Moss today. Nothing of note. Sat on a bench (that someone had place some bird feed on the arms) having a coffee when a marsh tit landed less than two feet away from me. WOW. Also heard the ping, ping sound of bearded tits calling ,didn't see them though Steve

Theres no reason why that couldn't be a huge hit , nighter,s included . I,ve heard much worse played at many nighters that I,ve attended Steve

She can come a nighter with me anytime

Thanks Pete. You never fail to deliver. Steve

Here's something a bit different. A push me pull me Steve

Happy New year . Hope 2015 is the most soulful year yet. Steve
