    I managed to post a couple on Birdguides & update me website with the rallycross pictures. Also, just read on RBA that a guy has lost his Nikon camera at east chev. He's called Jason & can be contacted on 07874781452 if found. Hope he's in luck.

    Gossy park is a lovely walk & i've seen some good stuff in there & living in Westmoor it's very handy for me, but to almost double the subscription rate in 1 year was too much for me so i joined the national trust instead.
