More Great Tits.
It really is like a spring morning. The sun is shining and out of the chilly wind it really is quite warm. The tits are constantly raiding the feeders and being quite vocal.
Their visits are interspersed with those of a couple of Robins, one of whom believes that he is the boss of the garden and constantly flies directly at the other birds to bully them away from the feeders. So far this morning he has evaded my lens.
RIP Reg – Love Is All Around
At the age of 71, Reg Presley, lead singer of The Troggs, has died.
He died at home, just over a year after announcing that he had lung cancer and was calling a halt to performing with the band. This, after 40 years of touring. He had also suffered a number of strokes in recent times.
Reg will be remembered for his performances with 60’s band, The Troggs, with whom he had a string of hits. They contributed much to the soundtrack of my early years seemingly always on the radio and with many appearances on TV. Black and white of course. Their most famous hit was with “Wild Thing”, but they also had success with others such as “Love is All Around”, “I Can’t Control Myself” and “With a Girl Like You”. The Troggs released many singles over the period from 1966 through to 1993 though none were to be as successful as “Wild Thing” which was re-released in various forms including a reggae version.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Reg will be missed but not forgotten. He has, along with the band, left a glorious legacy.
Top 10 Low Pass Flyby’s Of All Time
It doesn’t matter if you agree with the titular claim, these are scary and amazing.
I received the link and the following text in an email
The first 10 seconds shows a clip from the Top Gun movie when Tom Cruise does a fly-by of the control tower.
The rest shows actual LOW PASS FLY-BYS.
Pay attention to the last one. It is numbered (#1) and it happened during a Blue Angels event over San Francisco . It was the pilots’ last show and he had nothing to lose.
Many of the boats lost windows to the sonic blast. Some of these planes were probably no more than 10 feet off the ground.
