One step at a time

Merlin app is brilliant.  I love to hear the birdsong and identify the different birds.

So many different varieties, always the Blackbird and Robin to round off the day!!

Huge thunserstorm and torrential rain here an hour ago (near York).

Feels very fresh now, but I guess humidity will increase as it dries out and temperature increases.

Morning Dylan

We had a cracking thunderstorm about 4.00am in Oldham - no lightning - but heavy rain - clear blue sky now with plenty of sunshine.

Kind regards - Brian.

Hello LouFree 

Yes, it's great. Since It's been on my 'phone I spend more time looking for the birds it's identified.

I don't think our dog is happy though as I keep stopping on our walks when I hear something new.

Kind regards - Brian.

Going up to Glasgow soon.  Hope trains ok. Got rain there. Showers I think. First time I’ve been in nearly 4 years. 

Hello Brummie69 

You should be fine - the weather gets back to "normal" over the weekend.

You enjoy the break - don't eat too much Haggis and Lorne Sausage!!

Best wishes - Brian.

I live in a flat, but have a fair bit of green space in and around the area. I pop my phone on my window ledge and wait for birds to pop up!! 

Then investigate what they are etc.

Most recently fascinated with the ' Dunnock ' !!

I'd never heard of that one!!

Best wishes to you !!

I think a Dunnock is another name for a type of sparrow?

Yes, quite possibly is. Certainly a sparrow type species int it !! 

I’ve had haggis, but the veg one not nice. Got them In Waitrose in Bham - ready for Burns night? I’ve had deep fried Mars bar. It’s like a hot pastry really. Haven’t had the square sausag, but I knew someone who had them delivered who I worked with. On train to G. 71 min late so far enough to claim dosh back.
