Pools, Birds & other assorted pics
Since I promised a few people some pics of various things, here they are, all rolled into one thread. Hope none of them are too big.

This was taken from around 3 feet away & not with a zoom lens or anything - yes, these birds are totally wild, we dont feed them or encourage them in any way.

."Storm Damage" ...I'm sure thats what you say to the insurance company. Looks like Dagboys attempt at DIY to me
Nice pics by the way. But a bit of a strange idea to put the garden shed inside the pool area?

The shed is to cover the filter, pump & solar heating gear (cos thats where they put it when they installed it & it is in an awkward spot)

fab pics mrs d!
the boys loved the pics of the cockatoos......we were in mablethorpe last week and made the mistake of visiting the seal sanctuary/''zoo'' - they had this one cockatoo in a tiny aviary...poor thing looked so lonely. showed the boys this pic so they could see the cockatoos in the wild.......

BTW I was wondering who laid your brick paving around the pool as I think it could have been done more ascetically pleasing
