Littlebro, very nice pictures, thanks for posting. Ian, I thought they tasted like swan but a bit more earthy Rog

I take it all that stuff is past it's sell by date then Rog

Common Cranes, pretty rare visitors but they spent a day on one of the older lagoon, as I said pictures are not brilliant but if you save them and then enlarge you should be able to get a better view of the birds Ro g

Great White Egret Rog Clif ton, are these racing birds or just ferals?

Freshwater and silt lagoons formed by extracting sand and gravel for the construction industry Rog

Behave yer bleddy sen Roger Rog

I'd agree with you Jackson,but when we had a Great White Egret visit our lagoons last year I can see why they were called "Little" the Great White Egret is taller than a Heron, I have a (not brilliant) picture if you want me to post, but not much near it to give some sort of perspective, late last year we had two Common Cranes on a lagoon, now they were big.

Know what you mean Scriv By the way Mr Scargill found not guilty of taking some money for his own use from the NUM and Mr Greatrex found guilty of taking some money for his own use from the UDM. You just got to feel sorry for all miners if they can't trust their own leaders Rog

Cracking picture of the Heron Cliff ton, they always remind me of Pterodactyls when flying, those arched wings,the neck scrolled back and the long trailing legs bringing up the rear,thanks for posting that pic Rog

Just loved radio Luxembourg, 208 on the medium wave I think, listened to it every night in the mid to late sixties, even went to sleep leaving the radio on all night, wake up in the morning to the sound of "Hissing" coming from the radio, a sign of it wanting some new batteries, PP9 if I remember right, the memories come flooding back now, slow summer walks around Clifton village, three Woodbines from the village shop and a steady walk back to the top of Farnborough road, kiss my girlfriend good night and spend the rest of the night with the radio pressed against my ear, Oh happy day's Rog

I like the cherry blossom pic, the ones at work just started coming out yesterday in all that rain we had, hopefully they'll produce some nice cherries again like last years, Jackson, I like that description very much, an artist with words if I may be so bold Rog
