THE FOOTIT CHALLENGE

I've just entered my self and my patch for The Footit challenge this coming January. Ditching the car and walking everywhere should get some of that Xmas blubber off and hopefully get me a bit fitter?
Should be interesting comparing patches from Shetland to Kent to see what other like minded birders are seeing from a walk from their front doors. Bring it on I say...

PREMIER DIVER PUTS ON A SHOW

No not another slagging off of ''You know what you are'' from Everton's neighbours but the feathered variety. Work had me up near Hartlepool this week and a lunch time latte at my second home McD's gave me the chance to grip the very showy juvenile Black throated Diver that's been gracing Hartlepool Marina. Best viewed from the Premier Inn car park it did show rather well...

The local fishing fleet were in port for a re-fit!
