I like this thread - lots of good pictures here

Our cool weather is starting - daylight savings ends Saturday. But stupid folks get on the water all over the world.

Christmas some years back my friend's mum was fishing on the river side of the point when a family drove up with a small dinghy on the car - the dad asked her which way to the sea. They wanted to try out their new boat, they'd never had one before!! She told them off good & proper - no jackets, no brains, at least they didn't need rescuing by better informed folks later in the day.

A couple of year running there was a food stall at one of the festivals - Road Kill, they called themselves, but it was only the usual take-away.

We also have birds that don't understand the modern world - the black & white peewit sees intruders in hub-caps & fights them fiercely.

Where I live we don't get many interesting birds (pigeons, gulls) but I have seen 2 sea eagles soaring on thermals years ago up the coast - a sight I've never forgotten.
