I'd seen you post featuring it, in the morning that I saw it in the afternoon. I agree, it's not as noisy as one might expect.<br /><br />The hide controversy - I think that many people would rather the money was spent on other things rather than an all-comforts hide. Admittedly the hide needed work on the shutters, but otherwise it seemed to be serving its purpose well.<br /><br />Best wishes - - - Richard<br /><br />Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-79765456214211307972014-10-20T11:05:09.265+01:002014-10-20T11:05:09.265+01:00Thank you, John, for your kind words.

Please assure Miriam that I'll be doing my utmost to get them back.<br /><br />I too would be relaxed about close proximity to cattle if I could move quickly in a vertical direction!<br /><br />I'm sure that there will be times when I will appreciate the comforts of the new hide. I'm thinking early in the season, when there's been a strong north wind (the hide faces north) blowing in over the water and through the open shutters at near-zero temperatures! Quite often, under these conditions, it's been considerably warmer outside the hide than inside!<br /><br />Best wishes - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-43728185729690466782014-10-20T05:49:15.803+01:002014-10-20T05:49:15.803+01:00Thank you Richard for this wonderful and full post...Thank you Richard for this wonderful and full post.

It seems to me that the birds are getting a little closer to the cattle than you seem to prefer to! Great shots all and a wonderful summary of what was obviously a great month's birding and other pleasures. Now as for having hot soup and hot drinks while watching Ospreys, this should obviously be banned. What is bird watching after all without a little personal discomfort? I suspect that next you'll be having a manicure!David M. Gascoigne,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17229638811027153569noreply@blogger.com
