  1. @NicolaMerrett - I'm SICK of this hot weather & wind! Make it rain Nicola...
  2. @NTsteely - About time. I'm stood wast deep in mud filming swans...topless.
  3. Anyway, weather in Wales is top, & it's all go...
  4. Having replaced their nest back in Devember, for them to then lay 6 eggs & have them allow me watch them crack on with life...
  5. ...gives me an immense sense of satisfaction! Just a bit gutted they're going to be ready to go when I next visit.
  6. Must have spent 3/4 hours watching (from 4 inches may I add!!!) mum brood & feed them.
  7. As of Sunday: 1 egg duff, 1 egg still to crack & 4 gorgeous little chicks, I reckon about 2 days old.
  8. As kestrels chick were due last Monday I had to check on them before setting off.
  9. Got home for literally a few hours Sunday in between Farnes & Wales. Dropped some kit, grabbed some kit, put on some clean underwear..
  10. @EnglishFolkfan - Wow, thanks for that. It was a grim & hard day.
  11. @skyeandfrisa - If you see Mark (SW wl cameraman) tell him to pull his finger out & do some work!
  12. @Dalla3 #zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  13. They obviously made it...spotted @NTsteely heaving a wheelbarrow across Brownsman! It's a tough life out here! twitter.com/Badger__Boy/st…
  14. The brave National Trust lot crossed Staple Sound this am in proper rough sea & tiny boat rammed with stuff!
  15. Sea still rough but looks like I'm getting off the Farnes today. Just in time...SW tomorrow until mid June!
  16. I might be stuck on these islands, but I'm in dam good company. @NTsteely & his team of wardens have got the whiskey out...I'm on Earl Grey!
  17. On a more important note, fingers crossed for the birds, who this year have taken a massive, massive hammering with this weather!
  18. Tomorrow the weather looks calmer but I've stopped believing the forecast here. The Farnes seem do what they want!
  19. However, I could really do with getting off these islands for SW. Today was too rough for boats, & the whole past week has been touch & go!
  20. Rough, rough day on the Farnes. Some awesome birds dropping in though. Male bluethroat, male r.b shrike, r.b flycatcher twitter.com/Badger__Boy/st…
