Now that's what you call a beak ! Not very often you see 2 Ravens on the roof over the road from your house ! We're very lucky, they've been round our house constantly for 2 weeks, paired up preparing to nest 😃. Fascinating to watch, huge elastic wing strokes, they also suddenly tumble and roll in flight, then there's the noise, they cronk to each other. One was in a tree earlier and making strange noises almost like a barking dog. cool brute of a bird .. I'll get better pics soon.

Spot on Chalky. We didn't do posh hotels We didnt need dance classes We didn't do gourmet food (or any food) We didn't drink cocktails. We did't ride fake Lambrettas (those auto replicas on vid) We didn't do mainstream.- Show us your great photos (2020)

A Raven flew over my house this morning . I haven't seen one in two years even though I go birdwatching regularly. I heard the cronking noise and rushed out and just got a 3 second clip with a snap ! 😀. I watched him fly over town and he was mobbed by 2 crows, and I could then see he was nearly double the size of a crow . The silhouette shows the heavy head, and long tail with the curved end. Here's the snap and the 3 second clip you can hear the "cronk" call raven 0001.mp4- The Greatest Dancer
Duncan Pollett... heres him in 91 dancing, he was brilliant !! 1hr15min 27sec in...- The Greatest Dancer
Thats it , same clips as posted above in my earlier post " the way of the crowd doc", then the same girl ( dark bob hairstyle) is spinning in the casino, so same film feature..Omnibus.- The Greatest Dancer
The Omnibus feature ? How did you find that out ?? do you think the rest of the footage of Wigan still exists , apart from the couple of clips ??- The Greatest Dancer
I should imagine it was the Omnibus feature. I dont think all of it has ever come to light ? just a few clips. Maybe theres still some unseen wigan film in the TV archives that'll be discovered someday .- The Greatest Dancer
Ive heard on the grapevine, he's been practising some new moves.- The Greatest Dancer
It'll give him a few weeks to practice , and iron his trousers...- The Greatest Dancer
I don't think it had a title. Omnibus was a weekly magazine program and they did a small feature on the Casino. The only known Wigan films are. "This England" also "Something Else", a youth prog did the small feature, and lastly "Omnibus" did a profile of the Casino. A few more clips from the Omnibus prog are in this documentary. You'll find them at 21.26, and lastly at 38.39.- The Greatest Dancer
It's quite obvious, he's trying to avoid being kicked by the Morris dancer and the Sailer doing the Hornpipe.- The Greatest Dancer
Just a few seconds in... the Wigan clips from Something Else program.- The Greatest Dancer
Back to the main topic... So I take it this guy is going to appear on the programme again ?? I don't think I can take much more ! Hope he's not been reading this thread 😄- The Greatest Dancer
Yeh , as above. James Whitehead... the best.. here's him again.- The Greatest Dancer
Its not about being a brilliant dancer, i'm certainly not. It's about not making a complete idiot of yourself .- The Greatest Dancer
Some people have them specially made, they have them machined over a wok.- The Greatest Dancer
They used to look good on teenagers weighing 9 stone, anybody else, forget it ! - Northern Soul Pool Party??
