Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Took a very scenic route home from the lakes today - Stopped in Hawes, lots of swifts screaming over the museum car park. Then we had a quick stop at Harlow Carr and spent 10 minutes watching a rook taking cans from the bin, and shaking them to get the dregs out to drink. Didn't know birds enjoyed larger or cola!

A stoat just made an appearance in the front yard. It nipped into the bush, next to the fate post, then popped its head out and looked at me for a while. Then it took itself off, staying right next to the wall the whole time. Even where the wall takes a short right and left turn, it kept beside it, rather than stray into the open for a couple of yards to cut off the corner.

I saw what I think is a young grebe on our weir today, never, ever seen grebes round there before and strange that it was on it's own.
