NSB thought it might be nice to record some of the wildlife that is seen in the (not very big) NSB garden, and also a little wider afield whilst out cycling...
Note1 : Includes posts about scenery, buildings and other non-wildlife stuff!

2015 : Visited the incredibly beautiful Rhossili Bay recently. The image below really doesn't do it justice.

| Rhossili, deservedly voted best beach in the UK |
Rhossili Bay has been voted Britan's most beautiful beach. Not a surprise really...

Rather like how this has turned out, but wish had paid more attention to the composition!

| Emden Geese, by the Nottingham and Beeston Canal |
Emden geese have long since been domesticated. They grow quickly and mate for life... ahh, how sweet!

Didn't really know where to put this, so have shoehorned it into this post - lovely vision of green while driving on the A6 (it's ok, the picture was taken from a layby!)

NSB did once share ownership of a Giant African Land Snail, which would gnaw on peoples fingers in a gentle can't-really-do-any-damage kind of way). The snail was called Sammy, by the way, because that works for both males and females, and snails are notoriously sexually ambiguous.
