Oh my goodness! I hit 1000 subscribers on my YouTube channel, at the same as hitting a total of 150,000 views. I am truly blown away by this. Especially as, due to various things happening in real life, I haven’t been posting recently. I really can’t thank you all enough, it really is appreciated. The …

But whatever you think of the plan’s of it’s new owner, “the Birdsite” will always have a following. For me though, it was time for me to find somewhere else to promote my YouTube …
A bit dramatic, but I have been missing in action for some time. I apologise but work, ill health and other personal reasons have prevented me from posting.

We visited the Little Owls Farm Park this weekend. Actually the term “farm park” doesn’t really do it justice. Tucked away near Ombersley, Worcestershire, this is a wonderful educational resource. All manner of animals are housed, both inside and out. There is the opportunity to use the onsite café, or bring your own picnic and …
Part of my work involves me periodically inspecting our Personal Fall Protection Equipment (PFPE) and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This type of PPE is class 3. That means it helps minimise the risk of mortal injury due to falls. It is essential that it is inspected regularly. We have ropes, harnesses, carabiners and other …
