    A few years ago Cider, we were up at Vane Farm in Perthshire just in time for the annual migration of these magnificent looking birds. There were 1000's of them. Superb sounds and a great spot.

    That Depeche Mode when we score!!
    On the way back through the woods on my local patch I got a brief but sensational view of a massive female Goshawk carrying a Wood Pigeon.
    Then got another brief view of her as she flew over Pasture fields sending crowd,gulls and other birds into a total frenzy!!

    thanks and yes it’s very relaxing. It’s amazing observing how corals live day to day. They require very specific conditions to live in. Water has to be pristine, specific gravity of 1.026 (salinity) to mimic their natural habitats. Nitrates / Nitrites/ phosphates/ calcium / magnesium all have to be in perfect balance. I’ve a daily routine of testing water and feeding to keep them happy. If they are happy I’m happy :).
    And yes I’ve a pair of clown fish. I got them as a young pair. They are all males to start with but as they get older the more dominant one will become female and continue to grow. She will eventually become 2x the size of the male.
    I keep a cleaner shrimp to maintain their health. The shrimp is symbiotic with the fish. They both benefit each other by cleaning the fish scales and the scales in turn feed the shrimp

    Fascinating really admire your dedication and how your keeping those beautiful fish and coral benefitting from each other sounds like a full time job looking after it all a labour of love :50:
