Dog Dribble by Getdown Services is the most infectious song I've heard at Glasto this time.

I have no idea who Black Uhuru are. They aren’t really my thing and the crowd isn’t really with them - and yet it’s all quite enjoyable and I am too lazy to change the channel.
I can remember them having a single out in the mid 80s " The Great Train Robbery " it was pushed quite a lot by Janice Long on Radio 1 but never did anything.

I just commented on this in the Doctor Who thread.
I think we're getting crossed over with the crossovers

Ncuti Gatwa was also at Glastonbury this year, introducing one of the acts (Jade).
But in terms of Doctor Who/Glastonbury crossovers, will anything ever top this...
I forgot about Ncuti, in the Glasto thread I mention 2 Doctors, meaning Smith and Capaldi, so Ncuti makes that three.

John, did you see Peter Capaldi, What did you think, that's both of Moffatt's Doctors appearing on stage at Glastonbury.

Since someone on the Glasto thread was a Shed Seven fan, I thought I'd post this.

Since Peter Capaldi appeared at Glastonbury I thought it would be only fitting to post this guitar scene.
Capaldi is an accomplished guitar player and for the story " Under the Lake " the Doctor Who intro theme was a guitar solo piece, which was performed by Capaldi.

All this " middle class " nonsense makes me laugh, around 200k people go to Glasto, has anybody ever done a survey on the attendees class, I've never been but know plenty who have, people from Fev, Ponte, Normanton, Knottingley, even Streethouse, not exactly middle class hotbeds.

Bruce Dickinson has said many times he will not do Glastonbury, as it’s for the middle class and is the “most bourgeois thing on the planet”. He doesn’t want to play in front of “Gwyneth Paltrow and perfume infested yurts”…..
They are still a superb live band and are absolutely killing it on their current tour.
Wasn't he an international sword fencer? not exactly a working class or middle class sport, he'll be taking up Polo next.

I nearly said wrong Capaldi...!
It was a carefully laid trap, someone was supposed to reply " don't you mean Lewis " but it failed miserably

I entered mine - and it gives Barn Owl as a "species lost" - I see at least one most days and they are reasonably common.
It does say birds with evidence of breeding and it was comparing the surveys of 1970 and 2011 so birds could have moved in since.
It also depends on people reporting and also how many people there are in your area reporting these sightings.

That sounds really interesting, SFG. Do you have a link to that postcode page of the BTO website. I cannot find it, but that's probably just the limitations of my IT skills!
My IT skills are limited too, there's no way I can put a link on here, but go on the BTO website, at the top of the page click on " Explore our data " that brings up a menu, click on " Bird facts species " this brings up a page, scroll down the page( not very far) to the headline " Other ways to explore our data about birds " underneath this headline it says " search for an area by postcode " just below that you'll find " Birds on your doorstep " link.
I'll just warn you, I'm registered with this site, whether that gives me access to areas a non-registered person can access, I don't know.
If you find it please let us know what you find, I'm not asking you to put full lists up like I did, just post what's new and what's disappeared.

Had a week's cycling in Tuscany last month. I've never heard so many cuckoos as we did in the countryside there.
The most common bird was the redstart though. Never see them here in East Yorkshire.
Did you get some good views of the Redstarts ?, I've never seen one, I'd love to though.

I didn't watch the game in the early hours but now the Super League game has finished I've switched over to Bayern v Auckland City, not expecting much but we'll see.
I feel sorry for Bayern, I don't think they realise that the Kiwi's are going to play them at rugby.

I quite enjoyed live, although I was only half watching. It's always a pleasure to watch Messi play.
I recorded it and watched it this morning, I quite enjoyed it too.

I've been browsing the BTO website and found a section where you can enter your post code, it then brings up a list of birds that are doing well in your area and badly.
From 1968-70 the BTO did a huge survey of all the birds in the UK, they then did another from 2007-11, that's how they put together this list of birds that are declining and increasing.
When I enter my post code it brings up a 10 x 10km map grid, Fev(where I live) is at the very south of this grid, it also includes Pontefract and Castleford but stops short of Kippax, to the West it takes in part of Normanton and to the east it takes in Knottingley and Fairburn Ings.
Below the map it shows 4 lists of breeding birds
The first list is for birds that have disappeared from the area as breeding birds, they are.
Tree Pipit, Dipper, Whinchat, Spotted Flycatcher, Rook, Corn Bunting, Lesser Redpoll.
Then next list is of birds that have severely declined as breeding birds, they include.
Grey Partridge, Little Ringed Plover, Snipe, Curlew, Redshank, Stock Dove, Turtle Dove, Cuckoo, Swift, Skylark, House Martin, Yellow Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Dunnock, Song Thrush, Willow Warbler, Long Tailed ######, Coal ######, Jackdaw, Tree Sparrow, Yellow Hammer.
The next list is birds that are new to the area, they are.
Cormorant, Bittern, Grey Heron, Greylag Goose, Shelduck, Wigeon, Goosander, Goshawk, Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, Quail, Oystercatcher, Avocet, Common Tern, Rock Dove, Grey Wagtail, Redstart, Bearded ######, Hawfinch,
Finally, the last list is birds that have increased rapidly.
Mute Swan, Gadwall, Mallard, Tufted Duck, Moorhen, Coot, Black Headed Gull, Sand Martin, Robin, Mistle Thrush, Chiffchaff, Blue T, Great T, Goldfinch, Bullfinch.
Just a reminder that these are lists for birds the have bred in the area.

I can't quite make out what it says. Does it mention keeping tropical fish down your underpants?
