Ah, cracking news. Thanks all!

Blimey riley, but that kit list (and picture) does look like a heck of a lot of kit. A power station!? What on earth do you need a power station for? In all my time camping I have never needed a power station. The OEX Salamander I presume is a tent? That and a tarp? Depends on time of year, so a...

Yup, I'm also a guitar player. Have three - favourite being a six-string mandolin (yeah, I know). But not looking to expand the collection, alas. Not unless you have a steel bodied Gretsch. Or a Gibson Les Paul in sunburst. No. No, mustn't! I couldn't afford to give you a fair price for them...

Guelder Rose. The berries can be used to make jam - they must be cooked before eaten!. But the plant is otherwise poisonous.

Is BCUSA affiliated to BCUK or have both sites merely used the same name format? I suspect it's the latter.

To fleece you of money.

I think I have it - Yellow Shell Moth. Thanks anyway.

We took some patients out for the Big Butterfly Count today. We also brought along a camera so they could take pictures. We got this picture of a moth and I'll be damned if I can ID it. Be really pleased if anyone here can help so we can go back to the patient who took it and let him know. I...

Now that is rotten news. He was a kind, interesting, and gentle man. The world is poorer for his passing. I hope his family and friends take consolation in the positive effect he had on the world. What more can one ask of one's life?

Hmm...always in two minds about threads like this. Try to keep some perspective. As you smugly laugh at other people's stupidity just remember that many others could be looking at you and laughing at you with equal criticism. This attitude reflects poorly on those displaying it.

Yeah, that does look like a good one, eh. I'll be watching some of those as well.

Earlier in the year I found this nice spot in the woods. A small clearing. To the left an area of coppiced sweet chestnut and to the right pines with their lovely scent drifting across the clearing. And a single tree, beneath which I placed a log to sit on. Last weekend I finally got around to...

Erm...no, I'm not to be honest. I naturally thought it was a small skipper. But I've just done a Google and you're right - orange tip = small skipper, black tip = essex skipper. I'll have to amend the file name on my drive... Cheers for that.

What a great walk I had. Saw such an amazing variety of butterflies today. I've put a gallery of images in the Wildlife Pictures thread under Photographs.

Out for a walk today and there was a truly marvellous selection of butterflies. Here's some, but no means all... Comma Common Blue Gatekeeper Marbled White Peacock Red Admiral Ringlet Silver Wash Fritillary Small Skipper White Admiral

Gatekeepers and marbled whites are in absolute abundance on the ferns and bracken this morning. Getting some splendid photos.

I'm sure we would all agree that any PSK should be tailored to your environment and any likely scenario you will be in. With that in mind, my PSK consists of my mobile phone and a wallet with bank and credit cards in it. On a day-to-day basis that will see me through any situation I am likely to...

A perky little chap...
