First day on #Mallorca and apart from beach fun #Granddadery I’ve seen Audouin’s and Yellow-legged Gull, Med. race of shag, Blue Rock Thrush, Sardinian Warbler and Red Kite.

📷 Audouin’s Gull - shame you can’t really see the bright red bill etc but iPhone shot so you’ll have to make do.
And earlier today, H and I went on a paddle on the Exeter Canal / River Exe. Now recovering on the sofa watching ‘Dragons: Nine Realms’.

Out all day with H and we did nearly 10 miles sea kayaking out of #Dartmouth. We had a superb day.Many thanks to Simon our guide and instructor. #Granddadery #pelagic #SeaKayak #Devon

H has given me his short video of Flying Scotsman running around her train at Minehead. He's quite proud of it. And so am I. Not a bad effort for a 9 year old. ♥️

In 1973 my Grandad took me on a trip behind ‘Flying Scotsman’.
Today, I passed on the tradition with H. We had a fantastic outing despite the delays (caused by the hot weather). Some of the photos are his.
Emotional.

Enjoy the Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis) from today's trip to South #Devon . You can hear my Grandson's excitement in his voice 😂. Love it.

Fabulous day in South Devon (successfully) looking for Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis) for my Grandson. Then 90 minutes mucking about on the sand. Happy days.

26 years ago, to celebrate redundancy, I took a trip to NYC. It was very cold so I bought a pea coat which came with a free woollen hat. I’ve never told anyone this.
Earlier this week:
Me: I’ll give you a fiver if you can guess where I bought this hat.
Grandson (8yo): New York
How? Why?
A bit of a #Granddadery day with H.
We saw a nicely marked male Adder and Dartford Warbler on a Pebblebed Heath; the film 'Paddington in Peru' at the moving picture house then came home to play Minecraft and watch the first Paddington film.
All in all, a good day.
