February 2007 Photo Competition ......... Discussion thread

Back to my roots, GW - lived in Hamilton all my life until 21, and in-laws lived in Lanark for a long time after that..... Was thinking of opening a "nostalgia trip" thread, for all to drool over and add their own bits..... might still do that! :D

 

Lovely crocus photo, Stingo!

 

thanks s your beautiful crocus cheered me up

 

Thank you dendy and greenwizard

 

OHHH we're very friendly. :D

 

Quite disgraceful behaviour, naked and in public too. Those Kent frogs obviously know no shame.
Just another example of declining moral standards and family values.

I shall be writing to my MP.

:D :D

 

So we're in for another spell of watching frogs, are we? :rolleyes: Poor things - can't they have a bit of privacy???? :D


Great pic, Pete! Interesting colours, those two - not the sort of colours I'm used to seeing.

 

Feeling Northernly disadvantaged here! Our snowdrops are at their best now, and frogs will be in hiding (whereever it is they go)'til March! You'll all be sick to the back teeth of them by the time I get a piccy! :D

Great photo Pete! Who ever said frogs were green!

 

Nice pic, Jarbax! :D Looks like yellow beaks, as far as I can see - does that make them Hoopers? Where was it taken?

 

Dendi,they do look like Whoopers as they have a long neck.The Bewick Swan though it has a yellow beak has a shorter neck...Good spot though :D :D

 

My spelling's gone to pot again.... yes, that's what I meant, Kandy!

I've seen all types of swans arriving at Martinmere, in Lancashire - incredibly busy and noisy, and completely unforgettable. Anyone who lives near there and hasn't been - do go!! You're missing something quite amazing! I think it's a wildfowl trust place, rather than RSPB - must google....

yes, it is -

Don't worry Dendi,I am always getting my spelling wrong. :D :D We ahve never visited Martinmere as we are RSPB members we always visit Leighton Moss on the way back from the Highlands :D Will have to have a look at Martinmere sometime though :D
