This little fellow was rescued by the boys when out on a walk in May. He was laying on a doorstep and they just picked him up and brought him home. We're not sure what happened to him....hit a window and was stunned , most likely.
For those of you that don't know, he is a Swift. We were so lucky to get so close to a bird like this because they spend most of their time on the wing.....he seemed grateful for his rest and flew away the following day. A beautiful bird.
Fishing features a great deal in our lives....this has been the subject most studied by the eldest 2 this last year! Tom is mainly in to Carp fishing and has spent a lot of time researching tackle, techniques and bait on the internet. Jonathan just likes fishing and although enjoys catching the big ones at the local resevoir, he equally enjoys a spot of 'tiddler' fishing down the canal.
They have spent a lot of time making their own hair rigs and different set ups on their rods, and have also experimented with their own boilies (a little round ball of bait, for the uninitiated!!!) and have the beginnings of their own bait making company, complete with name and logo!
