Sydney, My views are much like yours as far as getting older and have good memories of childhood and youth. I used the word 'sadly' to imply that...
We are nearly half a day ahead of most of you folks on here so right now it is mid afternoon. Another very pleasant sunny day in the mid 20's. My...
Sydney, that's when kids used to do what kids should do when they are kids. As you say, we would go out all day, scrumping apples, birds nesting,...
Philip Nulty, I like the look and lushness of your garden, I will post a pic later of my little backyard patio for comparison ;) Islandlife, Olly...
Is it a crow?
Sydney, thanks for your help. I do have bluetits and great tits use my nest boxes and I am still inclined to think this is a blackcap. The jurys...
When I said I hoped to get a picture of a kingfisher, it was our colourful little bird that I was thinking of. This picture is of an Egyptian...
It is unlikely that I shall have anything other than garden birds to contribute here. But I DO like this thread and am finding it interesting...
[ATTACH] Something else joined the collection today......'Olly' the styalised (is that a word:)) owl. I am happy with our small collection and...

Nice pictures Kildale. I guess bird beaks and bills developed to suit their feeding habits and environments. A wader very similar to your...
Carolyn and Kate, I think Islandlife and me seem to have very similar camera gear. Nothing expensive but perfectly adequate for good results. A...
Much more comfortable here in South East UK today. Around 33 and humid yesterday but mid 20's today and a good breeze. The sun is still shining...
Sydney, I thought the S5600 was a digital camera? Or I might be wrong. I did have an S6500 Fuji bridge camera but as I change cameras I usually...
I try not to digress on threads so as to avoid taking them 'off topic'. Cameras have started to be discussed on another thread and, as we all need...
Sydney, my username is just a bit of a joke. I tend not to use my real name on forums. On another forum I am known as Grandad so I just anagramed...
[ATTACH] My grandkids are all around 20 and over except one who is now 7 years old. For his amusement and intrigue I did make the pump work last...
