Oh it was hell Wendy...And I ain't great with heights....a was blooming terrified...saw nothing but big black beetles on way up and a couple of birds dashing about on way disown and it wasn't until I got to near the bottom I heard the sound as I scrambled to get a camera out

Midges Wendy, they were out in force this afternoon up here, when I was cutting back the escalonia bush. Conditions just right, warm and not a breath of wind, the little ***********!

Can't believe you're claiming that teeny weeny speck in the distance as a sighting!! It's so far away it's probably circling your back garden!! Well done.. shows what can be achieved if you set your mind to it

Most golden eagle sightings are teeny specks in the distance. They make ravens look outgoing and social.

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