Went to see my computer man who told me " This model has the keyboard integrated in the upper case assembly and Levovo no longer have them in stock". In other words a new laptop had to be bought. Bugger !!!! The equivalent model would cost me £600+ An expensive spill then.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I must have still been in idiot mode because it took me two more days to think to check out my contents insurance and it looked like I may be in with a chance. Rang the broker who passed me onto Aviva the insurers. After telling him what had happened and the model number of my laptop he said " The equivalent model today would cost £750 less the excess of £100 gives a total of £650 " I was dumbfounded of what I was hearing and blurted out that my old laptop only cost me £619 but he said that didn't matter. I of course accepted and the money was transferred to my account there and then.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I now have a new laptop that cost just a few quid more than I got from the insurers.Thank you Aviva. </div><p></p>Max Silvermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04485815838495406612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718312507724754325.post-21914909878363953932020-08-05T07:36:00.003-07:002020-08-05T07:36:21.137-07:00A FEW RECENT SHOTS.<div style="text-align: center;">A few shots from recent days.The first few are from my local patch in Temple Balsall.Nothing exciting or worth keeping especially the <b><font color="#ff0000">GS Woodpecker </font></b>which did not allow me one clear shot in half an hours viewing</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Went to the NT property at Baddesley Clinton again to see if the <b><span style="color: red;">Spotted Flycatchers</span></b> were still showing but again I fell foul with the need to pre book my visit.The day I chose turned out to be cool, breezy and dull so the birds did not show. I did find a <b><span style="color: red;">Chiffchaff</span></b> catching flies from some fencing not far from the church.</div>

<br />
Wasn't going to go out birding on Wednesday morning as the forecast was not good but I had to pick up a prescription so I went to Temple Fields again.<br />
<br />
There was good and bad news. The good was the forecast was wrong and it was a warm and sunny morning.The bad was that it was a day of missing out badly with the camera.<br />
<br />
As I walked down the stream path I heard a <b><span style="color: red;">C Buzzard</span></b> calling from a tree just across the stream but although I was in stealth mode it flew off as I raised the camera. Then not much further along the path I came face to face with a rather fine looking <b><span style="color: red;">Fox</span></b> but it shot off before I even touched the camera.Ten minutes later whilst trying to spot a calling <b><span style="color: red;">Blackcap</span></b> a small raptor landed in a nearby tree.It was a <b><span style="color: red;">Merlin</span></b>.This time I got the camera upto shoulder height before it shot off. Later on a <b><span style="color: red;">Sparrowhawk</span></b> came out from over the woods into view but just as I was focussing on it it went back over the woods out of view.Just before the CP 2 birds landed on the top of a nearby tree one was a <b><span style="color: red;">Goldfinch</span></b> but the other was a <b><span style="color: red;">Spotted Flycatcher</span></b>.Of course they both flew off before I could get the camera on them.Oh Dear !!!!!Max Silvermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04485815838495406612noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718312507724754325.post-35327706155231121642020-07-15T06:09:00.001-07:002020-07-15T06:09:08.368-07:00COMMON WHITETHROATS.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After the excitement of finding the <b><span style="color: red;">Tawny Owl</span></b> in the sewage works a few days ago things down the local patch in the Temple Balsall countryside have been a bit quiet but yesterday I came across a family of <b><span style="color: red;">Common Whitethoats.</span></b></div>

In a hedge I heard the calls of at least three young birds and when one made an appearance I saw that they were <b><span style="color: red;">Common Whitethroats</span></b>.I was able to take a few shots before it disappeared.</div>

Yesterday morning I headed over to Temple Balsall again but this time I went to the pond near the main car park rather than Temple Fields.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Had no luck at the pond but in the trees around the car park the <b><span style="color: red;">Chiffchaff</span></b> that I've heard many times lately singing away but which remained well hidden in the leaves actually showed itself.Managed a few decent shots for a change.</div>

There was rain in the air so I decided to head home for a coffee but when I stopped at the road junction by the school and looked across the road into the small sewage works I was sure I could see a large bird inside the equipment protection cage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drove over and parked in the layby and was amazed when I looked through the site security fence and through the sewage equipment mesh cage I saw a <b><span style="color: red;">Tawny Owl</span></b>.It must have got in through a gap and could not get out.It was very distressed and was doing a lot of wing flapping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put it out on Twitter and contacted Severn Trent straightaway. Calls to the RSPB and the RSPCA were a waste of time. The bird was released later that day by Severn Trent and taken into care. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Took a few shots when the Owl calmed down and perched on a low wall. Almost impossible to get any shots in focus because of the security fence and the mesh cage</div>

This morning I went to the NT property at Baddesley Clinton for the first time since they re-opened. I would have gone earlier but you have to book up at least a week in advance which I don't like as you don't know what the weather is going to be. It was windy and dull this morning.</div>

Had to go through two check points just to go into the grounds. I had less trouble going through Check Point Charley in Berlin in the cold war. When I started to walk round everything of interest for birds was roped off. Brilliant !!!!!</div>

I left pretty soon and luckily decided to walk upto the church first rather than go home for a coffee straightaway. Lucky because look what I spotted right at the start of the path. A <b><span style="color: red;">Spotted Flycatcher</span></b>. One of my favourite among the Summer visitors. Didn't think I'd catch up with one this year. It flew off so only one shot and didn't return.</div>

On Tuesday morning it was again hard to get any shots and only managed a long distant shots of a <b><span style="color: red;">GS Woodpecker</span></b> and a few shots of my old friend the <b><span style="color: red;">Common Whitethroat</span></b>. Hopes of seeing the the <b><span style="color: red;">Bearded Vulture</span></b> seen by few birders over Balsall Common the previous Friday were dashed.</div>

Since my last post nearly 2 weeks ago I have been out with the camera several times but I've found it very hard to find any decent birds to point the camera at.This is partly down to me as I do not visit bird reserves any more and only go to local spots mind you friends who do visit reserves are also struggling.</div>

Birds visiting the feeders in my back garden have almost stopped as expected so it was a surprise when some <b><span style="color: red;">House Sparrows</span></b> appeared. Only a few years ago these were very common visitors but now pretty rare.First ones in my garden for 3 years now.</div>

Every year at this time I go looking locally for one of my favourite birds <b><span style="color: red;">Spotted Flycatchers</span></b> and I've always been lucky but so far not this year.I've been to a few spots were I've seen them before but no luck although I cannot get into the NT property at Baddesley Clinton which although open you have to book up in advance even to get into the grounds. Not much good being a member then.</div>

At the Berkswell churchyard there were no signs of <b><span style="color: red;">Spotted Flycatchers</span></b> this year so had to make do with shots of <b><span style="color: red;">Song Thrush</span></b> that was giving a concert a gloomy shot of a <b><span style="color: red;">House Martin</span></b> feeding young. </div>

Best spot of all was on last Sunday morning when just as I was thinking I would not be needing the camera this morning a <b><span style="color: red;">Red Kite</span></b> drifted high over the site.No decent shots as it was very gloomy at the time but great to see.Not seen one locally for at least a couple of years.</div>

It's a couple of weeks since my last post but I have been out there with the camera several times and have struggled to find any birds to take shots of. I do not go to reserves any more but try to find birds in the countryside myself and that's the trouble. I go to some pleasant spots all pretty local but all have been very quiet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A bird that used to be plentiful at several local spots but now only a few years later is hard to find and that is a <b><span style="color: red;">Swallow</span></b>. This morning I went to a spot in Berkswell were a couple of years ago there would be lots of them in the churchyard and in the village and I didn't find one this morning. All I found was a lone <b><span style="color: red;">House Martin</span></b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No decent shots to post I'm afraid </div>

As the sun was shining and the wind had dropped this morning I thought I'd go over to a local patch to get some exercise. With the camera and bins of course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as I got there I heard a <b><span style="color: red;">Cuckoo</span></b> calling. As I'd not seen one let alone getting any shots for a few years now I was keen to find it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was not on the local patch but across the road in another area. Luckily I soon found it high up on a distant tree but unluckily the bright sun was right behind it and as soon as I tried to reposition myself it flew off and all I got was this crappograph. </div>

Some more shots from the past beginning with some Owls which are some of my favourite birds and some shots of <b><span style="color: red;">Short Eared Owls</span></b> probably my favourite of all the Owls.I've been lucky enough to see them and various sites after a bit of travelling. These were shots taken in December 2011 at a site in Northants.</div>

Took the <span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">Meadow Pipit </span>shot in the Donkey paddock at Earlswood in September 2017. The <b><span style="color: red;">Rock</span></b> <b><span style="color: red;">Pipit</span></b> shot was taken in October 2016 only 100 meters away where one had been flitting round the causeway on the lakes. I had struggled to get any shots for quite a while but after all the other togs had given up and I was about to do the same it appeared just below me and posed for a few shots.</div>

Walking along the Farborough bank at Draycote in September 2009 I spotted to me what was a strange bird about 30 meters out on the water.Having learned the lesson don't dither if you can't ID a bird just take the shot. It was a <b><span style="color: red;">Manx Shearwate</span></b>r . In September 2011 one was reported at Hatton Locks I eventually found it not looking too well on a grassy bank the other side of the canal. I reported it in and I believe it was rescued later on. </div>

In April 2011 a <b><span style="color: red;">Spotted Crake</span></b> was reported at Brandon Marsh in the channel to the left of the EM hide. Got there mid morning and entered a crowded hide but by mid afternoon there had been no sightings and there was only three of us left. I was thinking of giving up when the shout went up "The Crake is showing". Managed a couple of shots.</div>

Just after lunch today I'd just settled down to read my book when I heard what I thought was a raptor calling. I grabbed the camera and after a struggle locating them I managed a few shots. No great ones as the pair of <b><span style="color: red;">Common Buzzards</span></b> annoyingly showed with the sun behind them but interesting as there was a bit of upside down flying.I'm assuming an adult with a juvenile ???</div>

At the end of July 2014 I got a call from my good friend Kath Everitt who informed me that a <b><span style="color: red;">Night</span></b> <b><span style="color: red;">Heron</span></b> was showing at Seeswood Pools not far from Nuneaton. As I'd never seen one before I shot over there. It was on the other side of the pool often lurking deep in the shadows of overhanging trees. You had to be very patient for it to show. </div>

Early in one morning in August 2016 I was out birding locally when I received a call from a good friend Pete Walkden asking me if I would like to join him on a trip down to Otmoor to try for the <b><span style="color: red;">Purple Heron</span></b>. You bet I did. We got there mid morning and soon settled down near the spot it was last seen.We had to be very patient but it eventually showed (just as I was eating an apple) and we both managed some shots before it dropped down again.</div>

I was just coming to the end of a trip to Norfolk in September 2012 when I heard that an <b><span style="color: red;">Osprey</span></b> was showing well at Upton Warren.Worried that it had gone as I drove over there the following Monday I was very pleased it was still there.The first shot below was taken at Marsh Lane in May 2017 the rest at Upton Warren.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The visitors to the back garden feeders has dropped further especially when the weather is good but did have one good showing when a <b><span style="color: red;">Bullfinch</span></b> made a short visit one morning. Otherwise it was slim pickings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There was one huge disappointment yesterday. It was late afternoon and I was reading Liddle Hart's " History of World War 2 " ( Thanks lockdown)in the conservatory when I glanced into the back garden to see a male <b><span style="color: red;">Sparrowhawk</span></b> perched on top of the bird table. My camera was a few feet away. Could I reach it and get a shot ? No it flew off as soon as I made a move. Not seen one in the garden for a couple of years now.</span></div>

Been having trouble with my recent blogs photos have been removed and replaced by a no entry sign.I understand several people have had the same trouble but the Blogger people just say "We know there is a problem and we are trying to fix it" . Great. So if any photos are removed it's not me doing it.</div>

One of my walks took me to the local churchyard again. It was much harder to get shots of the <b><span style="color: red;">Goldcrests</span></b> this time they were very active. This is all I got plus a shot of a <b><span style="color: red;">Coal Tit</span></b>.</div>

As expected the number of birds using the<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>feeders in the back garden has reduced a lot now it's much nicer weather. A pair of <b><span style="color: red;">Dunnocks</span></b> still visit and a lone <span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">Chaffinch.</span> This morning a very brief visit was made by a <b><span style="color: red;">Nuthatch</span></b> which was nice but no shots.</div>

On the walk this morning I spotted a pair of <b><span style="color: red;">Goldcrests</span></b>.As usual they were flitting around like crazy and I had so much trouble trying to get any shots at all. Taking shots of <b><span style="color: red;">Goldcrests</span></b> is not a game for old goats like me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
