KENT'S RAPTOR POINT, FROGS & FINCHES

Well .. it was actually good and very, very .. cool!

But it was .. tough!

My health condition is doing its best to try and kill me .. one way it lets me know this, though it did not yesterday when I went on this trip, and another way has no damn warning.

Plus it likes to throw me some curve-balls and often two ore more at once.

I was in a .. very nice bed and breakfast with a very nice owner down in Minster on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.

Brother suggested we do this, the one I can talk to, has a car and does not perform like a child depending on the conversation topic. Lol. We went down with two nephews I had not seen in a while, one almost 18 while the other .. umm .. very young? Lol, I have a terrible memory but I would suggest he is three .. give or take a couple of months. Probably less.

Yeah on the evening I had a nerve wracking drive down, a panic attack once there and extremely uncomfortable feeling. This led to some trouble sleeping but I got there in the end.

The feeling persisted in a weaker form the next day .. finally disappeared after a pint of shandy and a couple of extra pills after my thighs started to ache. Up until this point I have only used my jpeg only Nikon P900 and had neglected the Sony A99II as I was not feeling particularly artistic ..

Also noticed just as I was about to post that the Nikon pics are bad .. not sure why this is .. did notice some dust on the lens at one point and cleaned it off .. also not sure if the exceptionally bright sunlight had an effect?

THE LONG PAUSE

I have had a serious issue going on for seven months now.

It should have not gone on this long but it did.

There was delay after delay and I am not even sure why, with most if not all of them.

As I stated on my corruption blog .. it will mean some big changes when it occurs and will mean that I can buy a shed load of things that are for professionals, like camera equipment.

But before I could buy anything else I needed something that would help me acquire these other tools, of which there is a long list.

Of course one of the other issues I have had is that I use my mountain bike for a lot of work and .. well the weather has been dreadful for me and my health condition. My condition does not like it when it is hot and humid and it was exactly that of late.

Well .. that is until it turned to rain and last night I could heard this horrendous and loud noise and I thought 'That sounds like really, really heavy rain but that kind of rain I have not witnessed before!'

I got up and looked out my window and I think many local Indian people could be forgiven for thinking they had been teleported back to India in he middle of a monsoon!

Anyway yeah so I needed the bike and as has been the case for years now .. if it is really hot, raining or even just a wind stronger than 10mph then getting anything done wildlife wise, or anything else for that matter .. is impossible!

But ..

.. not anymore!

As I stated previously .. many tools to come! Lol!!

Now what you can expect .. now I have sorted out a very key item in my myriad of plans, is to expect a number of videos of the tools I have alluded to over the next .. month.

Then after that around the end of August a very big change will come. Though this could be sooner.

Also another .. event I was involved in has come back around and that is all around the middle of August .. but things could be divulged sooner. Or at least the 'dead giveaway' to what it is concerning may well come sooner?

THE NIKON CONUNDRUM

Well what MORE can I say?!?!

Do not buy your photographic equipment from Argos!!! LMAO

Hmm or NIKON
