I was surprised by the feedback on my wombat shot so I will upload another one sometime but not before slipping in another Red-browed shot! I did spent so much time with them after all, got to make it worth something!
Flickr is a really good place for sounding out different or unusual images. The composition here is unusual. So are the colours. So let me know what you think.
First wire up between Ewart Road, St Helens and the north end of Carr Mill Viaduct.
Please see the similar, but wireless, Photo 2918j taken a few days earlier.
Taken from the track leading north from Island Brow bridge looking south.
NB: The NR sign on the bridge calls it 'Island Brow', but Bing Maps and the street name sign call the road 'Islands Brow';
This image originated from a box of personal slides taken by Muriel Sibley and recently discovered in our archive. However of the 600+ images found many are of Formby past and this is just one of them. FCS September 2018.
Finally pushed through with what I always wanted since high school. They say I should give it two more weeks before actually replacing the stud with what I want.
Suggestions on what good hoops/studs would be (and were you could find them in the Philippines) would be most appreciated.
The Black-browed Barbet or Müller's Barbet (Megalaima oorti) is a bird belonging to the Asian barbet family, Megalaimidae.
It is 20-23.5 cm long. The plumage is mostly green apart from the head which is patterned with blue, yellow and red. There is a black stripe above the eye. The bill is black and the feet are grey-green. The Chinese name for the bird, "five-colored bird" (五色鳥) refers to the five colors seen on its plumage. Because of its colorful plumage and that its call resembles that of a percussion instrument known as a wooden fish, the species is also referred to as the "spotted monk of the forest" in Taiwan.
The Deadmanstone at Berry Brow near Huddersfield, is a nearly forgotten outcrop of rock, through which a natural tunnel runs. Numerous legends surround this unassuming eruption of rock from the hillside, that may or may not explain how it came about its name.
Local folklore tells that in the days when the church at Almondbury served as the parish church for the Holme Valley, funeral processions passing the stone would stop and rest the coffin. A distant local memory also recalls that corpses would be taken from their coffins and pulled through the hole, before recommencing on their journey to Almondbury. Perhaps this represented some symbolic form of passage to another world.
Another legend is equally gruesome and gives various accounts that the remains of a ‘soldier’ were found walled up either at the stone (possibly in the tunnel) or somewhere nearby. Variants state that the soldier was either Roman or maybe a victim of Scottish Boarder Reivers, who raided deep into England. The legend isn’t specific about where or when the soldier was found and could possibly be transposed from the site of the (now demolished) Deadmanstone House or its medieval predecessor, which was a fortified manor house with deep cellars.
A further possibility could be that the Deadmanstone was the site of the burial of a prehistoric chief or warrior and the legend has become confused over the years. Indeed the name ‘Deadman’ could have been derived from ‘Dobman’ or ‘Dobbie’, a legendary shape-shifting spirit, popular in local lore and often associated with guardianship of burial places. The hole in the stone may also be associated with healing or ritual purposes, by passing through the stone as above.
The stone is also associated with another enduring legend that a tunnel leads from the nearby ancient fort of Castle Hill, about a mile away. Castle Hill is associated with a number of tunnel legends, which could possibly denote solar or lunar alignments from the hill. Or may have been influenced by the deep cellars of the former manor house, that stood on the land directly above the Deadmanstone, now occupied by a modern housing estate.
That so many legends are still attached to this odd outcrop is heartening. Especially as it now sits enclosed by modern housing and is often passed by cars entering and leaving the estate. A small remainder of Huddersfield’s past clings doggedly to the hillside, despite how its surroundings have changed.

A Mountain Bike rider crests a brow while descending the 'Spooky Wood' trail at Glentress Forest near Peebles in Scotland. The whole area is run by the Forestry Commission Scotland and is a mecca for mountain bike afficiandos looking for something challenging as well as scenic.
The Spooky Wood trail is approximately 1.5km long packed full of berms (an artificial ridge or embankment), challenging jumps and rock features and is one part of the longer 'Red Route' of 19km made up of several individual trails. Spooky Wood is claimed as one of the best in the world for it's fun factor.
There are a selection of routes available at Glentress depending on your skill (and bravery!) starting with the very easy Green routes, up through Blue, then Red and finally the ultimate Black routes (not for the faint hearted!)
This is my son. Apart from not having eye brows, lashes, lips, lower teeth or a chin and ears that hang way too low on his head, he's a pretty good looking fellow wouldn't you say. He has a great personality and is a hit at parties. He views the world with a smile and his eyes wide open. He's my boy.
This may be a juvenile black-throated tit (Aegithalos concinnus) as suggested by Dev T, or maybe a black-browed tit (A. bonvaloti). I'm pretty sure that it's not a rufous-fronted tit (A. iouschistos) as proposed by Alisatir Rae as it doesn't have a rufous belly and they only occur in southern Tibet and northern Nepal.
