Haha....I am guessing its the only release for most of us these day!....I have even started looking at insects and bugs..never too late to learn something new....better than doing a jigsaw lol


Aww your poor wife but least you have each other at this terrible time....

I'm sure it is, for those with gardens. I feel for those who haven't and are locked in.

As for Mrs PR, she's an angel, putting up with me.....

A couple of books I find helpful for generally wildlife identification are:

Collins Complete Guide to British Wildlife

Pocket Nature Wildlife of Britain: A Unique Photographic Guide to British Wildlife (Paperback)

The second book has an interesting Index, in that it lists more than one page for each species you try to ID, which might seem confusing, but actually, its not. It gives you other possible alternatives of similar species allowing you to make an informed guess at what you're trying to ID, plants, birds, animals, insects, you name it.

Both are good books, the first book has clear photos that seem very genuine and not cleaned up images.

Evening all - first time posting so please point out any newbie mistakes  Have been a silent watcher on here for a few weeks now but having decided nobody seems too scary have taken the plunge and done my first post!

Few snaps from my walk today:

Sun was out so this magpie looks amazing!

Nuthatch - I think gathering moss for a nest

Robin - soon turned round and chased off the LTT who dared photobomb his photo!

Last of all this blue tit - not the best photo but thought it reflected the way they flit between branches quite well!

Thanks for taking the time to have a look!

Thanks for the welcome Linda and Ann! I live in Hemel Hempstead - as a result all the osprey photos and webcams are fascinating!
