worse still, at night when you are trying to sleep

And when they fly around the window but disappear when you go to open it

Apparently, and it does seem to work, a fly/ flying insect will always fly toward the direction of any threat because the direction of current/draft created . The trick is to actually waft towards yourself or if you want it to go out of a window, open it but then wave your tea towel, hands in the opposing direction. The fly still senses the threat and does what it would normally do. Since you generate more flow or current away from you (almost a very micro form of turbulent air) the fly heads windoward.

Seems an unnatural action and weird at first; looking like you're practising semaphore in your kitchen but it seems to work.

I know nothing, Jon Snow. I absorb a lot of stuff. Probably stuff I don't need to know!

I would be great on the 'shape' part of Krypton Factor. Fun fact, made the shortlist to be on the First Season of The Island w Bear Grylls but they likely just wanted some inept Joey (why didn't they choose me then!), incapable of living without an iPhone for a couple of months. For 'entertainment' of course.

Anyway Birbs  ;

For any of you that want a little look. I've photographed different stuff for years but never explored moving objects so much. Especially birds. Last week was my first time, spending some time actually shooting images of birds, with the great help of Pro Wildlife Photographer and Seabird specialist, Steve Race.

For me, it wasn't so much about learning how to composé an image it was purely about capturing the motion of flight.

There's better ones to come but I hope you enjoy these few and if you are keen on photography (and especially birds) then I hope this might inspire one or two of you to explore that further.

Scilly Red, has me on ignore?! How bizarre. Considering I asked you about the two birds that had not been in the UK for a while.

I get that I can be pretty annoying regarding wider aspects on here but when it comes to this thread seems a little odd. Hopefully an accident  Hmmm

I wouldn't get a complex, I have large numbers of people on ignore, as I am not really interested in the 80% bollocks content  Smiley
Nobody is ignored on my iPad, hence I read your comments above !
Did you post on here previously as Spencer White (?) as he used to work on St Agnes ?

Ahh apologies, I do get a slight complex from time to time. I'm a sensitive soul and not afraid to admit it or show it. I know that can bring both it's positives and negatives.

I will say then you're on the wrong forum SR, as I know I speak for myself but the 80% is more like 98.5% Wink

Spencer White?! That is certainly a new alias on me... Hmmm I wonder who that might have been/be? Since pretty much whoever has worked Aggy will know or know of another worker, even if generationally different time. The only thing is, I can't seem to remember any other Swindon fan that has worked on Aggy or the locals would have let me know around the time. Hmmm perked my curiosity that has.

I know that there were a few STFC fans on St. Marys around the years I spent working on Aggy (one may have been yourself), so as I say be interesting to find out who 'Spencer White' was/is and if that is their real name or just an alias.

Nice photos bamboo what's your day job and where you based?

In part, photography is my day job along with a bundle of anything creative arts based. I had been getting fairly regular work come through before Covid-19 and was well on the way to launching my own company (far too much to talk about in the ''Birbs'' thread). I was booked for two feature films; a walk on role and and a physical (probs just running away from something, I'm good at that) role. The former is a recently released Warner Bros film. But they (or those scenes) got cancelled. I won't go as far to say I'm an actor for fear of retribution from the TEF but these roles were a step up from an extra role.

In the meantime, I started trying to make my own short films (which are in production but it's basically just me), having been lucky enough to work alongside a friend who has been a fairly successful Director, and as you can see, I do like to go on, and on and on. Recently picked up a Producer come Photographer role for a film being produced in Leamington Spa area. I'm due that way in the next few weeks, to shoot headshots and do some promo stuff. Then off to Turkey for some Advanced Drone (oh the irony of droning) Photography training. Which is all really geared towards me upskilling and getting better at moving objects/images in terms of filmmaking. I know I have some great content to write and produce but it's actually getting down to it and developing the bloody stuff. Maybe one day you'll get to see it!

As for where based...I get around but generally between North Derbyshire and then the ''proper' North'' of East Yorkshire/North Yorks border (probs on a very similar latitude to Horlock). I can pop up elsewhere from time to time; like Mr. Benn I guess. Except I've never lived on a Festive Rd, or in a terraced house, or at a No.52. Nor a Bowler hat for that matter. I did enjoy the moral values that Mr. Benn presented though.

And there we are again...a brief recent history of me. Enjoy reading (ignore count tops out at 200)  Pint
