Whilst I was up on the roof on such a lovely sunny day (for once!!!) I thought I may aswell take a pic of Pendle, I'm so pleased with it I've even sent it to BBC North West Tonight...

Blog Entries: 3 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | Looks like a Red Kite, with the tail, but too distant to be precise. Nice photo though. PS. Is that the roof you were standing on? Rather you than me.

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | I'm certainly no bird expert but even I can tell that the tail feathers are of bird of prey of some kind!

And I was actually still on my ladders poking through the skylight, if I was a little higher (aka, on the roof) the telephone lines wouldn't have been in the way... As for playing with the photo, that's fine, it looks good...
