  1. Few canoes on the beach,is it an organised group?Looks a really nice getaway trip.
  2. 755 arrived on Thursday and 6 million quid a day spent on boat people its being reported here?
  3. I watched his footage on the UK stick insects the other day,and the aesculapian snakes in London,good to see the snakes,next time I am in the UK in the summer I am going to see if I can find one.
  4. Yup,they used to do cranial deformation,gave rise to the aliens legend when skulls were found.
  5. Breakfast,yoghurt,blueberries,and a baked aubergine (Yes,I know).
  6. Went to a mates for the afternoon,sat in his garden in the sun watching the hummingbirds,even saw a snake,and lots of chipmunks,there’s a bluejay and a squirrel in the same pic,the chipmunk and squirrels feed from your hands.
  7. Between 120-150 Iberian in France,however scientists think that only approx 38 of those have the genetic diversity to breed health successful litters,they could be extinct within 30 years due to inbreeding.
  8. Erich von danichen in chariots of the gods originally thought the nazca lines were landing strips for alien craft etc,crazy theories I know.
  9. Just been for a wander looking at hummingbirds,saw a couple but they are super quick.Saw 5 or 6 insect specific traps around the neighbourhood,any guesses as to which insect?I am in New Jersey.
  10. The top one has the basic shape of a belisle foot snare,but I know it’s a Chinese rat trap,good finds,and a thoughtful daughter.
  11. Saigu,the rooftop Koreans.
  12. He has a rap or drill type song out,the video shows him entering people’s houses uninvited,wish he would try that over here. TikTok is toxic,I am not a conspiracy theorist but there has to be something behind Bytedance letting western kids make dumb content and steering Chinese children away from the nonesense.
  13. Mizzy the home-invading tick-tocker loves this.TikTok is the dumbing down of western youth,China has its own version called douyin which features no silly dancing,no dumb pranks,no mass looting,it shows family values and educational content,kids are limited to 40 minutes a day.Loads of western kids dream of being influencers like Mizzy.Delete TikTok.
  14. There’s an excellent documentary on Netflix,The Deepest Breath,showing just that,incredibly well filmed,riveting watch,the world of free diving.
  15. Originated in Sunderland so they say.
  16. Getting too old for cold water,was in an outdoor pool the other week,it was a sweltering day but the water was freezing.Might take an ice dip come winter,supposed to be therapeutic.
  17. A knot of toads,Ditch would have been in amphibian heaven.
  18. He hasn’t,set out on a trek and vanished,just been a body found in Scotland,a guy missing a year? Happens here a lot,that’s why PLB’s are popular,watched a program the other day a young kid came from Ireland to hike the PNT,vanished.
  19. If you see a Dora the explorer balloon bobbing over the alps it’s only me nicking your idea lol.
  20. I just remembered,wasn’t there a survivalist/bushcraft type went out on hike in Sutherland,young bloke,vanished,PLB would have been a wise investment.
  21. I am thinking of getting one of those PLB’s,I have seen a couple in Cabelas and a few other outdoor stores.I watched a few Dave Paulides CanAm missing on YouTube,and his excellent Missing 411,you just never know,a Brit actor Julian sands went missing out here while trekking earlier this year his body (skeletal remains)was found after 5 months,I am doing the tour du mont blank trek next year alone,as my missus always says better safe than sorry.
