Jannie got fed up of getting rain on her glasses so she has made herself an ice cream carton visor. She tells me it works great. I wouldnt know because I wont ride near her when she wears it ^_^

She has zip tied it to make it secure.

Spend some money on your lady and buy her a cycling cap. Less wind resistance :whistle:

We had a baby blackcap brought in my a member of the public a little while ago. It was a gorgeous little thing (especially at feeding times - you can see it with a bit of wild strawberry here), but unfortunately didn't make it in the end, which was very sad :sad:

So just wanted to remind everyone that if you see a young bird on the floor around this time of year, the best thing you can do is to leave them for the adults to look after. They stand a far better chance of surviving to adulthood than if they are taken away, even with the best of intentions.

As a slightly happier story, we did also rescue a poor old sad swan mourning it's mate from the side of a busy road recently, and he's now doing very well :smile:
 
Here's a simple comparison I've just done to recommend you look into RAW photography

27498506850_889bb1a77c_c.jpg

JPEG, edited

27164693954_ea9eb93618_c.jpg

RAW, edited and saved as JPEG to show

To be fair, it would have been better to have shown both pictures without telling us which was which... furthermore I am reasonably sure I could get the edited jpg looking better than that/closer to the RAW edited jpg convert below it.

Rode along part of the old Barnsley Canal earlier (Walton village - Walton Hall), on the Trans-Pennine Trail
A couple of photos later

Meanwhile.....................


Site of many climbs up it (& across the tarmac there, in the 'Holme Moss Fell-Race')

Cracking view from the top, when clearer/sunnier
