Interesting. I often see them on Sansaw straight. There seems to be a shortage of acorns this year so perhaps they're moving about more.

Thanks. At Folk Fest at the moment, will try to look after that. I think we should be getting a lot more popping up this week.

My first car. Bright red Mark III. 1300 engine which meant I struggled to overtake a milkfloat!

Swallows are nesting in nearly every room at Stokesay Castle. I only had my Sony compact with me so shot what I could.

Shrewsbury folk, there's a far right march tomorrow starting in the Quarry at 11.00 & going to the Guildhall. I saw a couple of balaclava'd idiots putting up flags on the lampposts along St Chad's Terr. There's also a Stand Up to Racism rally in the Square, not sure of timing. Take care out there.

@g0blinegg.bsky.social might know something, I hope she doesn't mind me copying her in. I know the flowers contain the chemical trimethylamine which gives it an association with death (and other things!).

#WonderfulBirdWednesday Right in the middle of rain, the photo was captured the split second a droplet of water landed on the #Robins head like a crown! 👑 04/2026 #Birds #Nature #FlawlessTiming 🌟 #FMSPAD #SomethingThatFlies #Birdsky #Wildlife #Photography #BirdPhotography #Macrophotography

A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown.

There was a lot of fuss on the Hadnall Village FB page recently. It was quite clear that the people involved weren't local (or even living in Shropshire). Apparently the flags were financed by Stephen Laxley-Lennon and his chums.

True. Also, given he's such a coward why would he jump up and make that clearly staged pose? Even if he were brave enough to do that I couldn't see his security letting him stand up with a gunman loose.

I got caught over the Christmas break. No spare so needed AA to bring us back. Recovery guy said the majority of his call outs are due to lack of spares and run flat kits can't fix a lot of punctures.
