Same as tomo loads here hear them most days and see them regular also the black and white ones not sure if it’s lesser or greater always confuses me I know it’s the more common of the two I see regularly I,m blessed were I am moored as it’s right bang on a migration route so as well as the plentiful residents get lots of interesting ones passing through had an osprey last year 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They've brought some nice memories back for me. Myself and wifey visited Toronto and Nigeria on for our first wedding anniversary back in 2003 and it's actually our 22 anniversary tomorrow!! So it's 21 years ago since we were there as 26 year olds. I'd like to go back some day with our daughters and have meal up the CN Tower like we and wifey did back then. One day hopefully!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
