Any birders on here recognise this bird from the (admittedly) crap photo? I reckon it’s an Egret, either Cattle or Little, never seen one in Northumberland before.

Only just caught up with this though it was released in April, album of the year for me, so far. Top notch songs superbly played. If you like GramParsons/ Burrito Brothers, Gene Clark etc, do yourself a favour and check it out!

I’m becoming slightly obsessed with this band, their album sleeves are largely pretty awful but… oh man… the music is wonderful, a cocktail of psychedelia, folk rock and even a touch of prog here and there. Highly recommended….

Almost certainly the best photo I have ever taken through a hole in an old tree trunk of a stranger's dog leaping joyfully along the foreshore of an estuary.

Kicking off this evening’s tunes with this beauty, the title track always reminds me a bit of Neil Young circa “On the beach”, no bad thing Imo.
