Winsford Soul

Starlings starting to gather for a mermuration. Unfortunately it was too dark for recording when there was approximately 20,000 birds flying around . Hopefully this is just a sample and I get chance to return and capture it properly. Watch this space 20201110_161416.mp4

Julian. It got both stereo and mono releases in 1966. Atco and Atlantic according to discogs

Your welcome mate, Definitely worth it. Cant wait to return but not until next June unfortunately

Dont mind at all. Tenby. Pembrokeshire. It,s very special Ste

Better picture today of the Greater Scaup. Perfect lighting

Mike. In my humble opinion £10 . Priced like all illegal copies should be. No idea in the strange world of Northern soul

Greater Scaup. Rare winter visitor to the North West This is the same bird with the exact same camera settings in three massively different lighting situations

Thanks for posting as always. Totally agree. No wonders that people auction records when there's dick heads out there that pay these prices. Guitar Ray was in my humble opinion the only auction record on that list. All the rest are set sale pieces. But hey what do I know.

Pardon my ignorance Ed but what is the soul kitchen . Venue ? Restaurant ?

Got to share this The owner of the farm where I stay in Pembrokeshire has just sent me this video of a female woodpecker that had crashed into the farmhouse window and he managed to revive it. This is special VID-20201102-WA0004.mp4

I've had two copies. First one was at Wigan and it had the BBC record library stamp on the label and it was in the half round polythene record sleeve, sold it early 80,s then remember Keith Minshull buying it of a dealer at a Samantha's nighter, i wouldn't think there wouldn't be 2 with the BBC stamp on it, then I had one bought for me as a birthday present in the 90,s Station Road memories of the greatest time of my life.

Andy . It looks like a juvenile magpie thats still going through its moulting into new adult feathers. No tail feathers. But only on my mobile phone so can't really expand it.

Elton Reservoir. Star bird at the moment. Bar Tailed Godwit. Don,t get them inland in the North West

Elton Reservoir Juvenile Grey Wagtail Meadow Pipit

Elton Reservoir. New venue for me and only 5 minutes from Bury town hall. 15 minutes from home Little Egret coming in to land. Song Thrush portrait.

Thanks for posting as always. Really appreciate it

There's loads of items that are definitely not auction items on not just John's website.

Female woodpecker through the kitchen window

Fantastic pictures mate 👍 Do Waterfowl shout Duck when a Peregrine turns up 😇🙃😛

Just had a email from the BBC springwatch/ autumnwatch team letting me know they will be featuring one of my pictures of a Shoveller on one the upcoming shows in the new series Well chuffed

Few more Otter pictures from my recent trip to Pembrokeshire The Bottom picture shows how close the Otter actually was to me at one point and with only having the 500mm f4 lens I struggled just get it in the frame and I couldn't step backwards anymore

Little jet fighters mate. So quick. 👏👏👏

Brilliant Martyn. About bloody time you started posting pictures again mate. Thought Carol had made you sell them for something useful ( in her opinion 🤔 ) like stilts. I know that I will suffer for this comment next time we get to meet up 😂

Did you catch any pike mate ? Or needs a few frosty nights ?

Thanks Andy. You and Steve certainly have done your work. Really appreciated mate 👍
