Bleedin' heck!
thats exactly what Kevb said when i told him about it! and to think i considered going back indoors for the camera and dismissed the idea, thinking my sighting wasnt that special! it wasnt in a town but in a small copse in the grounds of a country hotel near Bury SE. |

It's all special Ben, but your eye witness account is fascinating in itself. Shame about the picture as that would have been nice, but it happens to us all.
Go drink a couple of pints of Abbot Ale down at the Nutshell in Bury St Eds, then you'lll feel better about it!

been there, done EXACTLY that already x3 (visits that is, not pints per visit!)
what a perfect pub the smallest pub in Britain is! you cant go in there and not talk to strangers - its impossible/fabulous. the Bury people, ive spent time with so far, have been so friendly and welcoming. i had a whale in the Nutshell. [<:o)] previously sampled the first of these herpy real ales bottled but still trying to track all 3 down on draught! "Baldrick, have you been eating dung again?": The Puritan's purely theoretical tipple: i previously commented on the forum that there werent any Essex breweries. WRONG AGAIN RIGSBY! theyve won awards! from Mauldon to MALDON: never sampled any of those either. local (to me) recommended breweries: Wickwar Bath hard to beat! |

getting back to your original post about nocturnal 'basking', i had a scoot around the garden last night @ around 1100 and saw 15 frogs. some in the pond, some hunting and others peering out cautiously from refugia. having taken a few shots i headed back home, then, beneath the moonlit sky, i picked out this animal with my torch. amateur astrologist or did it spot a UFO? : |
