Hello everyone and how are we today then question mark hope everyone is doing well on the Sunday morning. I went up to a place just outside of a place called Castleford yesterday it is an area of 360 acres and used to be an open cast coal mine full stop it got flooded and the mining was abandoned and now it is a massive Nature Reserve. The weather was pretty good and saw some absolutely fantastic Birds. I got some decent pictures though to be honest with you not as many as I hope I would quite a few of them turned out disappointingly so stop still can't be a winner every day! Was going to go metal detecting tomorrow but that has been knocked on the head I trapped a nerve in my leg last night and to see it was painful is an under exaggeration.it has eased off this morning but very tender.
looking at the trump government..it is very similar to our own..yours look like they have just come out of jail hours look like they should be in jail! Amy is on the way down so we are going out for dinner later on. Take care everyone and have a great day

Good evening everyone,

LOL I thought it was Sunday when I woke up today too!!!! Took me half the day to figure out it’s Saturday.
Still not feeling the best but hopefully soon. Stuck close to the house today, don’t want to be spreading ‘it’ around, whatever it is.

Mick, sorry about the pinched nerve, sounds painful. I woke up with a severe leg cramp a few days ago, ouch. Your bird pictures were awesome & Elouise looks very happy & healthy.
I actually feel ashamed that we will be unleashing Trump on the world again. I’ll never understand why people think he’s so wonderful. His cabinet picks are a damn disgrace. I hope we all live thru the turmoil he’s about to unleash. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hello to all & wishing everyone a nice night.

Hello again,

This time it really is Sunday, Lol
I think I’m coming back to life - finally. These virus things are hard to get rid of once they’ve taken over your domain.

I hope everyone has had a great day & wishing a nice night for all!

I’m at D3’s & her husband’s house now; made the drive yesterday. I love being here with the little family. Ayla is so cute at 3 months old! So alert and looking around with her bright eyes! She looks rather like Elouise, as they are the same age. 2 y/o Andy is a sweetheart too. It’s warmer here, being further south; and we spent lots of time outdoors yesterday. They are such good parents, and so cooperative in both running their home and in co-parenting together. D3 is still on maternity leave, so it’s a good time to be here.

Hope that virus runs its course soon, Lav.

That sounds like a beautiful area where you went to photograph, Mick. Worth it just to be in nature, even if it didn’t have so many birds.
