bornfree Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Just seen a pair of lesser black back gulls at 9.30pm flying around a silver birch tree in my garden so I went outside and they were catching midsummer dores that are swarming around the top of the tree. Never seen it before. Edited June 12, 2022 by bornfree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC actually said he wanted to do some Aviation’ photos and I thought what could possible go wrong? It got a bit worrying when he said he needed to see my ‘fuselage’ and that my ‘landing gear’ should be in the ‘extended’ position! I tried to escape. Honestly I did, but he used the old ‘seniority’ card and made me stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
