Rubbish birder, much better electrical engineer and BWFC follower. I'm lucky to live on Anglesey and I am Sophie the poodle's human.
Good morning and I hope you're having a good start to your day. Here's a post-mounted EIIR box in Benllech, Anglesey from earlier this month. #PostboxSaturday

Just in case you're wondering why the rose is on a yellow background rather than white, here's a screenshot from Wikipedia that explains.

Day 3 of Someret birding gave us 7 new trip birds. We went to RSPB Greylake and finished the day off at RSPB Ham Wall to watch the starling roost. 1000's of starlings came in straight to roost with no murmuration. It was still amazing. Short eared owl was the top bird of the day.

Day 2 of our Somerset birding trip. We went to Burnham on Sea (twice) and RSPB Ham Wall. It was hard going in the rain and we only totalled 13 new birds for the trip but we managed to see the Kentish Plover which is a UK lifer for me.

Over a few beers and a very decent spag bol, we totted up our number of birds seen today at WWT Slimbridge and the total was a round 60. The highlights included Bewickes and whooper swans, barnacle and white fronted geese, water rail, sniper and a raucous rookery.

Our third dog, Sophie. Without her, the past three years would have been so much harder than they were. She's practically a life saver.

This is my new local postbox at Cemaes Bay. It's less than 100 metres away from our house, so no excuses for me not sending letters and postcards now!

Last night we said goodbye to our caravan on Anglesey for the last time. 14 years have flown by. I introduced my wife and daughter to Anglesey a year or so earlier and they loved the place from day one, so much so that we are now moving to the island in the next couple of weeks!

Good morning and I hope you're having a good start to your Saturday. These are local to where we currently live in Westhoughton. We're moving shortly so I thought it would be nice to revisit them
