Wow, he really came through the gap at the end, didn't he?  18 views, let's see how many more we can make it (Tiger, Chloe, Terry...)

Yes but that video has only been put up a few days ago. Some kind person must have videoed the correct channel that day and kept it. Still it is lovely to have seen it after all those years.

I am sure I saw a much less good copy on Youtube a few years ago.

It is great to watch it today. But to have been in the stands watching it was beyond compare. There was a huge silence in the stand with me going crazy!

"There was a huge silence in the stand with me going crazy!"

LOLOL I can imagine :))))

An amazing win and what a fabulous memory. A great pity you recorded the wrong channel and had to wait so long to see it again....but the main thing is that you have the video now :)

An unforgettable trip for your friend too! That really rubbed his nose in it...in more ways than one! :))))

Yes a fantastic memory. I sent my friend a copy of the video last night so that he can share it too. He is down in Tunis right now drilling for oil.

It is worth saying that the reason why this has come up is that in a chast room last Sunday. Over at my osprey site we have regular live chats.

Yes we have great chats don't we Tiger.

In fact we have one today at 4pm BST and usually go on for a couple of hours. You are all very welcome to join in, the more the merrier :)

Good job that the Prix de l'Larc de Triomphe will be over by then.

Phew! I was wondering about that :)

Sunday all! Thanks for last weeks chat and pics! Gary’s Clover and Lida (is that you with them or David Sexton? LOL), Dillon and Opel and Gary’s neighbour are all very lovely goldies and waiting to see Chloe’s cats!!! The autumn colours are pretty much same here now as in those Vermont photos, I just love autumn. HeatherB, I got all teary eyed when read about your SiL’s return. Hope Annette has a lovely trip. I wish I could reply every post here last week and today, but that would be absolutely “mission impossible”. But every entry is always a treat - both good and not so good news. Feeling a bit frustrated now: I changed my Internet connection and dongle to a “better and faster” - and yes indeed it is very fast to drop me offline every few seconds!!! Arrgghh. It might have something to do with the weather, fog and such - I think I had same kind of troubles last autumn. Well time will tell. Had a quite eventful shift last night and managed to get only two hours restless sleep after that so also feeling very zombie-like now. Off to get something to eat now and hope not to fall asleep next to my tummy, ‘course should be “somewhere” in three hours time… Have a nice Sunday all!

Hi can anyone tell me what other birds apart from goldfinch that eats niger seed if any

In my garden I have only seen goldfinches, bullfinches (only ever one solitary female bullfinch visits and I haven't seen her lately) and greenfinches eating them Alicat. Oh I'm forgetting, the collared doves and wood pigeons will have the occasional beakful if they have eaten everything else!  I find the niger seed feeder is mostly neglected now so I won't be buying any more. The finches round here seem to prefer sunflower hearts.

Quick morning read with a cup of coffee before I leap into action. Fab video Tiger - what a thrill!  Hi to all and take care.
