Peter Hope your well my friend. It was only when I enlarged the picture that I realised it was a kestrel. The dark bars on its wings are the giveaway for me Steve

Steve The more I look at the pictures you posted the more im convinced its a Kestrel Steve

Hi Steve. Welcome to our little wildlife thread. Me thinks its a young kestrel that probably left the nest a day or two early. nice pics by the way Steve

Yeah that's the one Steve

Hi Mal. Sold it to Chris Anderton Steve

Mal Recently sold my collection and it contained if I remember rightly a Australian demo with a big blue A through the label Steve

Kev. Was gutted when Dave ended his show last week. He said he had a special announcement then dropped the bombshell it was the last show. He ended with Ask the lonely then cruising Steve

Martyn How very dare you. Steve ( the younger ) As opposed to Pitt the elder

This Stag was sat separate from those in the earlier picture. looks like he,s the main man Steve

The calm before the rut Steve

Martyn. You know me so well. Cant remember the last time I bought any maggots though, its all pellets these days mores the pity.Your pics are as always fab. Hope your keeping well my friend and the lovely Carol is still looking after you. Steve

Yeah. Me to. Just got my shift dates so will be able to see what ones I can fish Steve

Sat in the garden this morning having breakfast when I noticed lots of Swallows flying over in family groups. Heading South to warmer climes. Such a sad time of the year seeing the Swallows depart. Soon be next April when they are gracing our skies once again Steve

Any since I sold mine along with my whole collection Steve

Levi Stubbs Chuck Jackson Edwin Starr Dusty Springfield Brenda Holloway Lisa Stansfield. Steve

No comment Dave. Hope your well my friend Steve

Peter Swifts normally arrive in the Manchester area in May then leave early August. 3 to 4 months isn't a long time when you consider they have flown from South Africa just to breed, even a good summer like were having cant get them to stay any longer. Sat in my garden having breakfast this morning and heard screaming looked up and there was 12 to 15 swifts flying very high and obviously heading South, they hung around for a few minutes before leaving. Anyone further South still got them around ? Be interesting to hear if they are Steve

Peter They normally leave the Northwest early August but its always sad to suddenly realise that they have left and then your trying to remember when was the last time you seen them Steve

Love the camo outfit Sooty, is it to fool colour blind Zebra so you can sneak up on them and catch em to add to your collection of exotic pets. Love the stories , Keep them coming. Steve

Pete Your a STAR, these tapes that you post are my life, my loves, my memories Thank you Steve

Sad time of year for me. The screams of overhead Swifts have left the Manchester skies for another year, don't seem like 5 minutes ago I was asking on here had anyone seen or heard them yet. Steve

Had the pleasure of being introduced to Bobby that night, had a chat, drink, got his autograph Real gent. When he sang Night Owl it just blew me away. One of the great nights in my life. RIP a legend Steve

Nice one Martyn Steve
