Thanks Bob. Must be plenty about in the Forest of Dean. Surprised to hear you had not seen a Skylark for a number of years......are they rare in your neck of the woods?
Amazing orangy color on your lovely chaffinch photo Trevor! Excellent composition and I love the thin branch he's come to perch on..Learning a lot about birds and do I notice that finches have really short beaks? Cheers!
Thank you Linda. I see you have ventured into the realms of bird photography..well done. I hope to see some of your national birds gracing your Blog. BTW. The Abbot and myself are the same person.
A Market Town since 1189 and has now undergone a major regeneration program .
The new shopping and leisure centre (White River Place) opened October 2009 and employs 500 - 700 people.
Imery's modernized China Clay industry employs 2000 which is a huge drop from the early 20th Century when tin, copper and china clay found in the hills made St Austell a major Cornish industrial centre.
Another industry still alive and kicking is the St Austell Brewery which celebrated 150 years of trading in 2001.
