Aye, oystercatchers nest up round here (in the uplands of Scotland) regularly Kin. Lovely birds with a distinctive peep call. Big tasty eggs for a weeish bird (from my bad youth as a birdnester). Well camouflaged on stony river banks usually, although there's a pair nests on a factory roof nearby & fight off the gulls - almost a full time job.

My favourites among the inland waders are the Curlew (called a whaup here for it's call) which has the best camouflaged eggs, and the woodcock - which you never see till it whizzes out the trees near you.

Just incredible how nature adapts to surroundings.

I can't even begin to imagine what great force manages all that sort of thing.

Morning Tom.

Sagrada de familia, Barcelona. Stunning.

Unfortunately plagued with scaffolding and cranes. Do you know how on earth they get those huge cranes that are half way up there?

I mean it's not that easy to see, but they aren't on the ground, the cranes actually start halfway up.

Morning Alex.

Not to be rude - don't get me wrong - but you never got a reply to your utterly fascinating question about the cranes.

Why - & of course I enquire rhetorically - do you think that is? 

The answer, of course, is "wrong diary". Readers here are a little blinkered as to the wonders of engineering & stuff.

We specialise in that sort of fascinating stuff on my Diary. You'd have got a dozen answers there. The last few days alone, we have debated the best Rock Bands & Albums of the last 50 years, (Beatles, obv), The Cure Tribute Band in which I performed, motorways, motorway bridges, concrete & cement (different things, you know), & we do cranes (manily mobile to be fair) regularly.  We do a lot of aeroplane photos, many taken by myself, too.

Here you go, just read back half a dozen pages, & you'll be hooked for life.

Alternatively, you could stay here and see a day in my life in pictures.

I think it's a no brainer, but I'll give you a taste, and then the masses can vote with their feet.


12:05pm.  This is me, starting my day after a rare lie in.

Yes I agree. It WAS a fascinating question! And definitely out of the ordinary for me. I hope I get a reply in your neck of the woods.

Don't be silly Tom. Concrete is for life, assuming it is properly cured.

It's a lol story aright Andrew, but it actually makes me feel a bit sad and angry too.

How do they expect children to look after themselves when they become adults?

Childhood is about learning, and that includes learning not to throw flapjacks and to avoid flying flapjacks.

You are so right Tom. When I was 11 someone threw a protractor accross the school field it must have travelled at least 60 yds before it hit me in the eye.
Without that experience I would never have learnt about the dangers of throwing and/or being hit by those dangerous semi-circles.

BTW that is a true story and if you look into my eye you'll see some of the iris missing.

Going back to flapjacks- don't squares have corners? They'll be making them available only in liquid form soon.

It's either a level, or you're angle-shooting...
