Nice report and pics of what sounds like a lovely day!

I wonder if the squirrel was a pigeon in a previous life?

Polite, that is without doubt, one of the nicest reports I have ever read.
A breath of fresh air to the forum.
Apart from your use of bad language, rats, nuts and bowels, it would have been perfect.
Lovely photos and a charming story, well done sir.
I think I will go and read it again.
S.

Hey Joe,

That's a cracking write-up! What an unexpected day you had; lots of variety of wild-life for company, caught fish and the sun was shinning!

Those photos are just great!

Thanks for sharing a really beautiful day with those of us who were unable to be there with you!

Just brilliant.

M

Awesome report Joe, and good to see you survived an encounter with another of the ASBO-browns that have begun hanging around the neighbourhood.

I'm sure you caught nothing in that riffley run by the daffodils? Not even worth trying there really is it?

Now I'm gonna have to get out again this week...

<M
