Title: July Photo Competition
Post by: daveyboi on July 12, 2015, 11:34:56: Hi folks it has been ages since we had a photo competition so let us see what great pictures you have been taking.

I suggest a theme of animals on the plot
This can be wild life, birds, pests or pets.

Either send me a pm with your picture or email to me at ramjamman at hotmail dot com

Very spectacular though.

Post by: Digeroo on July 13, 2015, 16:52:14: I have not seen much wildlife. The vole moves far to fast, by the time you get out a camera it is long gone. I will see what I can do.

Of course that would be fine
Sounds interesting but probably annoying

But I have to say he is a fine looking beast ( at least I think he is a he )

Post by: peanuts on August 03, 2015, 19:29:02: Subject - I was stumped when I read that it was "animals on the plot" or insects etc. I couldn't find anything that day, then I looked out of our kitchen window at the field adjoining, and saw our local cows helping themselves to OUR plums!! So I rushed out with the camera and took that shot. They were leaning heavily over the fence and thankfully the famed next door saw that, and moved them into the next field that evening.
I then asked if I could submit a photo of animals leaning over into our garden and Daveyboi assured me I could! I never imagined cows eating plums. There used to be horses next door and they loved the plums, but cows? I thought they just ate grass.
They are a small not that sweet plum, not mirabelle though, which are much nicer with a better flavour. They are useful for bottling, and for making jelly with blackberries which I've done this week.
I loved the caterpillar photo!
