That spec is a kingfisher ...

For 2023 - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

The chap next to me in the north hide at Radipole Lake had this most huge zoom lens, I had my compact camera. So please excuse me presenting you with a picture with a spec in the middle and saying "that's a Kingfisher" Actually, when I zoom in, I found that you can make out that it's a Kingfisher.

Another Weymouth trip today - another busy train, and more things to see when in Weymouth. On the nature reserve, I think I saw Gadwall, Pidgeon, Wood Pidgeon, Swan, Sparrow, Mallard, Godwit, Blacj Headed Gull, Herring Gull, Great Crested Grebe, Carrion Crow, Domestic Duck, Tern, Moorhead and Tufted Duck ... in addition to the Kingfisher.

Just one more Sunday to go - 28th August. 07:30 from Westbury, 07:35 from Trowbridge, 07:45 from Melksham and 07:55 to Swindon. 08:20 from Swindon, 08:35 from Chippenham, 08:45 from Melksham, 08:55 from Trowbridge to Weymouth
