I enjoy birdwatching mostly in the West Midlands, the River Tame is my Amazon, also a keen wildlife gardener.

It was fantastic to stumble across Doctor Who's TARDIS whilst walking around Birmingham, I don't know what the Doctor was doing around there but judging by the smell it was quite the adventure

It was nice to see this Red Deer waiting for the train at #Chasewater earlier, unfortunately she had just missed one and now has a two hour wait.
