Kev. As you said they're very clever as are all members of the corvid family.have you ever seen they guy on springwatch that brings the raven into the unsprung studio. It does all sorts of thing's to get food completely untrained just by looking at what ever the food is contained in then working out the solution. They're a top predator , they have even been known to take peregrine falcon eggs from the nest. Now that is something. Steve

Ravens have gone from being a rare bird to a not quite rare bird in a few short years, it's amazing what nature can do if left to its own device without any interfering from mankind. They're true master's of flight, watching them ride the thermals over a cliff or quarry is a fabulous sight. Steve

Still swallows and Martin's around today in the north west. Can't see them been here for much longer especially now we have lost that warm air from the southeast. Steve

Many years ago I spent about eighteen months looking for this record then I found out there was only four known copies. Which put it totally out of my price range. I ended up buying a copy on the I think sevens label. What a tune its up there with the best of them in my opinion. Steve

Never heard of her or her group. Steve

That's me not bidding . The record player isn't included. Steve

Heard a rustling in the reed bed and just managed to pop my lens through to capture this Heron taking off. I had obviously disturbed it but as you can see my camera was pointed directly at the sun hence the flare Steve

Long tailed tits are as cute as they come Steve

Here we go Kev. Kestrel hovering Steve

Steve . Des Parker is worth listening to What's wrong with Elbie Parker. Class record Steve

There been to many venues for at least fifteen years it's not a new thing. It's just that there's now all the technology at people's fingertips to promote a venue without going out of your front door and having to flyer everywhere like in the not to distant past. Steve

I always thought the deadbeat,s was More expensive than that but hey what do I know. Apart from loving the record. Brings back so many memories. Steve

On my way to Leighton Moss reserve today hoping to return with some birds ticked off my list and some pictures to post on here. Black tailed Godwits, bearded tits and little stints among others Steve

Steve. Have a look at post 1064 if you like spiders and click on the picture to enlarge Steve

Steve. they're common garden orb spiders. They seem to be everywhere at the moment. my garden is full of them Steve

Its with great sadness that I pass on the news that Libby from Runcorn died this morning. Rest in peace bro, your not suffering anymore God bless love from Steve n Lou XXX

Barry. Had the pleasure of meeting keni a few years ago. Nice guy. And he can sing a bit. Steve

Pete. The birds would have been swallows or house Martin's. Swifts left for Africa about a month ago.regarding the carp tail walking its a common occurrence and can be seen at most lakes be they natural or commercials. Some people think they do it to rid themselves of parasites especially from the gills and other's say it's a part of spawning but given the time of year you saw it that's a bit unlikely but saying that when I was fishing last week their was a lot of activity in the marginal reed beds like what happens when they're spawning so maybe this warm weather has caused them to spawn again. Steve

A dam sight more than me mate, that's why I put the question mark next to puff ball. Steve

Russell. The boat after veronica looks like the one I would prefer to be on. It looks like a good excuse for a good session on the beer. I'm still hearing chiffchaff,s singing out the back from my garden. Last year it was the 7th Sept when I seen the last swallows so this year they're hanging around a bit longer obviously due to the fabulous weather that we are having at the moment which is resulting in enough insects for the birds to feed on Steve

Good Evening Russell. Hope your well .(on Kindle now so no smileys )Still seeing plenty of swallows and Martin's in the north west of the UK. In fact I was trying to photograph them yesterday whilst I was fishing. That's when the above robin picture was taken. Steve
