I must catch up and do some more bird photography have been too busy with my Ravenglass film. Have high hopes: will be in Spain all of next month ferry from Portsmouth to Santander then drive down slowly to the rented villa in Ronda.


I will be doing the reverse route on 10-12September. I want to be in UK when the Brexit stuff happens. I dont want to try and bring my dogs and stuff back too close to the March 2019 point. I will bring my dogs over in September then get any residual stuff transported across to UK in the interim.
The Brexit stuff is going to be very messy! Incompetence seems to be the running theme.

Hand knitting a complex pullover pattern is a long slow business.

Unraveling it only takes minutes.

Re-knitting the same wool into another pullover will likely take longer than the original.

Not a perfect analogy but...

I think that the wool was well knitted over the UK public's eyes. While I am anti-bureaucracy and the current establishment and certainly dont want a Central State of Europe or an EU Army I do think that the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages by a small amount.
However undoing 40years of legislation is a non-trivial task.

The lies and deceptions sold to the public before the Referendum should be exposed and all associated with them disbarred from public office permanently whether they are Leave or Remain. Both lied!

The current MPs seem unable to either act in a coordinated fashion or to truly represent a party or the public that they should represent and just get on with doing the job!

Lovely shot.
And to think that Snipe is/ was one of the Duke of Edinburgh's favourite breakfasts.

:thumbsdown:

Very nice Graham, lovely birds the Avocets.

I like Curlews but don't seem to see them as often now.

Shortly after capturing the GCrested Grebe a Kingfisher flew past at 200mph so didn't catch it.:needsahug:

But then a couple of Dabchicks appeared and one obligingly proceeded to catch a crayfish.

Bit of a distance from me so heavy crop.
