Wall’s! Wall’s sausages?
I am in the process of putting together a longer posting about my lunch-time walks along the river/canal but I thought this one warranted a quick posting all by itself.

Sparrow and the Mayfly
Some of you may have seen this before. The photo isn’t perfect but it took me 3 years of trying to get one this good, so, if nothing more, I should get a A for persistence. A friend at work sent me details of a local photo competition and suggested I entered something, so here…

The day after the FoBM BOG walk on 22
On the Sunday after the Friends of Baildon Moor and Bradford Ornithological Group walk I decided to go up to look for Whitethroat near the Scout camp. I heard Whitethroat but didn’t manage to see any. However I did hear plenty of Willow Warblers, and eventually, after being quiet for a while, I got sight…
