Sharp Edge - Blencathra.

Quality of these images isn't the greatest, but seeing the Pectoral Sandpipers in amongst the Dowitchers at Boundary Bay was quite exciting! At first glance I thought maybe I had Sharp-tailed Sandpipers in my sights, but I don't think they are.
Thanks to my expert in Shorebird identification, Liron, this bird has been confirmed to be a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. A Lifer for me and a rare sight here on the West Coast.
"This Asian shorebird is related to our Pectoral Sandpiper, and like that species is it a long-distance migrant, traveling from Siberia to Australia and New Zealand. A few reach North America every year, mostly fall migrants in Alaska and the Pacific northwest; a casual stray in other areas, rare in spring. " (Audubon.org Field Guide)

Dorothea Sharp was born in Dartford in Kent in 1874 but it was not until the age of twenty-one that she began her artistic education in earnest. She soon moved to Paris where she was greatly influenced by the work of the Impressionists, which is evident in the spontaneous style and strong sense of colour and light that she is so well known for. Techniques, such as outlining figures with bright colours, were also adopted by Sharp after seeing the paintings of Matisse and van Gogh. In the mid 1940s she returned to London where she lived until her death in 1955.

Here we have the second transistor radio released by Sharp (Hayakawa Electric Co., Ltd.) in mid 1957.
This model sported the nickname "Peppy" in a Sharp ad from the summer of 1957. Methinks Sharp was taking the term "pet name" a bit too literally . ;-)

A complete entry on this model will eventually appear on my site, including chassis pics, a bit of history, and more stories of spicy pet names.
When I encountered the Bottesford school buses 'by accident' in June, the only one I saw but didn't manage to photograph (aside from the phantom Centrebus) was a Sharpes ex-Dublin B7TL which made the turn up Belvoir Road. Of course, I couldn't have been happier when I saw this approaching and was able to get a photo of the thing I missed last time, in some pretty nice weather conditions, too!
I don't know if it's the exact same bus from June or not (most likely not), but it doesn't matter as this is one of the Sharpes ALX400s which I haven't seen before and so is a tick in the book no matter what. The plate UXI 476 I have seen before, in fact, when it was attached to an Alexander PS that Sharpes were using on a University of Nottingham shuttle in 2015.
Belvoir Road, Bottesford, 16.9.22
Searcher XL - Japanese import. In immaculate condition. This 1980 Sharp model has some super cool features so i thought deserved a good photograph once i got it back from the service engineer.

Here's another ex-Dublin Olympian just under 10 years previous:

Towards the end of the day, back in Nottingham, this was pretty much the last thing we spotted before calling it quits due to the fading light. Sharpes ex-Dublin Alexander bodied Volvo B7TL VJI 625 is bizarrely parked up at the side of Maid Marian Way in Nottingham city centre.

Just got back from doing laundry and saw this guy in my yard so I ran to get my camera and only got a few shots. But I am happy with this one :)
Taken from Corndon Tor which is near the Marines memorial on Dartmoor.In the distance can be seen the peak of Sharp Tor.
Thank you for looking and any comments.
I went towards the back of the train in order to capture shots like this on the sharply curving 1 in 50 climb out of Oban to Glencruitten Summit. 'Argyll & Sutherland Highlander' is being worked to the max on a single power unit, i.e. less power than a class 37 and higher geared, as can be judged by the voluminous vertical exhaust. A group of photographers is seen standing by the fence at the sunmit - I have never seen a shot from the lineside here on this day - I would be very interested to see one! The second power unit would only be started up at Cowlairs for the 100mph dash back to Edinburgh.
