  • All those satellite tagged Ospreys are thrilling news too. Where's Colyton?  Thank you ALAN (I'm sure you know that Thunderbirds are Go?)

  • Colyton's in southeast Devon, near the coast.

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • I used to absolutely love watching the Thunderbirds - wooden acting or not, it was much better than nearly everything on TV nowadays!
