I can relate to all of that. Just don't get me started on all the changes I have seen since I was young - and I haven't even emigrated from the UK!

Likewise Jack. Do you remember steamrollers repairing the roads and pulling a tar machine and a caravan behind them, and after squashing the tar bubbles in the road you went in for dinner and got into trouble for being covered in tar? Then the air raid sirens would go. Yep, They were the days!

I have one now, happy days.

Will do Matt, had a bit of a relapse with my wrist but hope to get out there soon. Thank you.

On a rainy day...

I'm not quite old enough to remember the air raid sirens, but I certainly remember the tar machines. Lovely smell! I also remember the tar melting on very hot summer days, when I used to roll the tar around any old discarded ice lolly stick I could find. Goodness knows why!

Nice Kitty.

Oh, that's nice! Very tasty indeed! I guess this is the Wageningen bird? Has it perched on anyone's head yet? It's 20 years now since we've had one of these in Britain. Oh for another! There aren't many birds nowadays that would get me travelling long distances to see it, but this is one.

Yes Jack this is the bird of wageningen. There is only one in the Netherlands.
Very relaxed bird that shows up sometimes less than a meter from the crowd.

Yes. I used focal Pro to set up the first one I bought. I recently bought another one and have yet to use it.
