From seagulls to my best ever photograph of a Raven, no 66 on the Falcon personal photo collection of different birds.

The landscape,

Eyes peeled,
The Raven is in this photo, although it's very difficult to hit the right piece of sky or to focus in on the bird, looking at the back of the camera display

An odd cloud formation first thing along with a large bird - Kite or Buzzard, probably.

Not sure where to post this, so I'll post it here so a mod can redirect it. My boy showed me this photo

it's a football stadium built into the side of a mountain!! I do enjoy old architecture so this really peaked my interest. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source= ... EINo9InLBH_

That's an odd sign hiding itself away in the undergrowth. Could be anywhere from Bristol to Hertford so control the curiosity...it's trivial and irrelevant where it is, or what it is pointing to...the subject of the photo is the car or the blue sky...not the sign.

It looks like a speed camera warning sign Neil..

Taken somewhere on the A4 near Marlborough... A superb piece of road and great fun to drive... Very quiet these days as most traffic that might use it now goes via the M4 and M3...

Could be, the A4 in that area is a pretty wild place these days. You never know what might be hiding in Savernake Forest!

I don't think you would want to experience this, Jim (although it would spur you on to go a bit faster!);

Lake over the ocean, Faroe Island
Back in 1979 I would have seen that lake with my own eyes. Spent 2 Weeks in the Faroes. Right next to the Faroes only airport at Vagur. Can't remember trekking around the lake to see the waterfall at the far end where the lake spills over the cliff into the sea.

Apparently the landowners charge 30$ per person since 2019, to park and walk the 4.5 mile trail to the optical illusion point, and the waterfall...according to Mike and Laura Travel...

If you'd cycle that quick whilst being chased by a bear. Would you cycle faster if a scrap man towed away Bluebell or would you run after it? Just asking incase Mick needs ideas for the next video :-D

Good question Ryan... We do, around here, have spates of older cars being leafletted by people interested in acquiring them for scrap and indeed some old cars have been known to 'disappear' from outside houses...

Hence Bluebell always lives in her garage away from such prying eyes ;)
