From last night's walk - feeding the family!

We spotted our first Goslings earlier and then watched the sunset whilst listening to The Stranglers😎

A couple from this weekend (including a trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park)..............

A few from this evening (and a closer look at the Mandarin ducks). I was a little too late to catch the sunset 😕 Had a go at long exposure (10 seconds with the camera balanced on the dashboard) - works best with Lorries!

A couple from yesterday afternoon / evening. Spotted the first Bluebells of the year

Tonight's walk around local reservoir......

The first Woodpecker I've seen this year.....

Mars is currently right below the Moon.......

A few from this evening..............

A few from this evenings walk.............

Tonight's sunset (& 🌛)..........

This evenings sunset 😎

It's a wonderful sight to see 👍 This flew over recently, although a little beyond the reach of my camera. Certainly more audible than visible.

Best I could manage of this morning's Solar Eclipse🌞🌝 I stacked a Polarising filter with an ND8 and used a shutter speed of 1\16000 (my camera only has a min aperture of f8, so not ideal). I'll need better a better ND filter next time!

This might be a option - certainly improved driveability of my 2023 manual 1.5 TSi Carista

I can only second the Lumix suggestion(s) above 👍 I currently have both a TZ70 (1/2.3" sensor compact camera) and FZ1000 (1" sensor bridge camera).

The Superb looks lovely - hope it serves you well👍 Strangely the Karoq seats haven't caused us any particular concern, although I'm with you on the torsion beam rear end. Having previously owned a number of Skoda's, including 4 Yeti's (and numerous Octavia's and Roomsters) this Karoq is by far the least satisfying Skoda I have owned thus far. The main redeeming feature of my current car is as a March 23 it doesn't feature lane keeping assist, or any of the more intrusive supposed driver 'aids'. I considered swapping to a 2.0 TSi Karoq but would object to the VED payable year 2-5.

Spotted our first Lambs last night - had a drive out to watch the sunset and drink a hot chocolate from a lay-by...... Lovely Crepuscular Rays before sunset although my phone didn't do a great job of capturing them.

A few more from today...............................

Cedar Avenue (@Clumber Park) is beginning to Bloom 🌼 Interesting use of REBAR in the stumpery!

A couple from yesterday's brief walk. One of those Drakes is going to be dissapointed as there can be only one ⚔️⚡

More here: Timing belts

Welcome to the forum. It'll be a dry cam belt.

After being awake from 3:30am and failing to spot the Lunar Eclipse I was driving along at 18:30 and there was a Red Moon! Unfortunately didn't have my camera with me so just a phone 🤳

Thought I'd get a coffee at the local reservoir after my pre-dawn sojourn and spotted an odd (? leucistic) looking duck🤔
