..if you live in Dubai! I`ll try to get brother&sister in law interested in doing a spot of birdwatching for me whilst they`re staying there.Just been sent this picture from their home.Have asked if there`s any chance of a Socotra Shag coming my way.
Fantastic to see these unusual birds Edge, as Birdie says, keep 'em coming :)

Good stuff Edge, Keep em comin!!
What goes around,comes around,Bob.My nearest rspb reserve is Fairburn Ings....A former colliery.
Great pictures Edge and Bob, as you say, times gone by and we should never forget them or the tough times had by that generation of hard workers. Its nice to think some of the collieries are now nature areas, a fitting tribute to all those that worked on these sites methinks :) although I understand the closures of these mines caused a lot of heartache too.
