Team of the Six Nations Championship.

-

As the Six Nations has now finished, here is my team of the championship.
15:Lee Bryne (Wales)or Georghan Murphy (Ireland)
14:Vincent Clerc (France)
13:Gavin Henson (Wales)
12:Tom Shanklin (Wales)
11:Shane Williams (Wales)
10:James Hook (Wales)or Chris Paterson (Scotland)
9:Mike Blair (Scotland) or Mike Philips (Wales)
8:Ryan Jones (Wales) Captain
7:Martyn Williams (Wales)
6:Alasdair Strokosch (Scotland)
5:Ian Gough (Wales)
4:Alun Wyn Jones (Wales)
3:Martin Castrogiovanni (Italy)
2:Ross Ford (Scotland)
1:Gethin Jenkins (Wales)
Subs: Rob Kearney(Ireland),Jamie Noon(England),Danny Cipriani(England),Allan Jacobson(Scotland),Leonardi Ghiraldini (Italy),Nathan Hines(Scotland),James Haskell(England).

I realise that there are a lot of Welsh players in this team,but there are the form team in the championship,and maybe I'm bias against England,as the majority of the time I think there play crap Rugby!
Although I must admit I do think England have got some decent players like Dave Strettle,Tom Croft and James Haskell,to name just a few.
I think Ireland was poor in this championship, and its probably time Eddie O'Sullivan dropped on his sword!
But all in all, I thought the Six Nations championship was great again,especially for the Welsh!?

Next up the Northern Waterthrush at Heyford, Essex...    and finally for the time being one of the Yellow-browed Warbler at Oakthorpe, Leicestershire in Early January 2024.

Ring-billed Gull OMFL!!!

Meeting up with Neil Hagley this afternoon at Shawell Balancing Lake almost the first gull I looked at was an Adult Ring-Billed Gull . Just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating I ask Neil to have a look at this gull in my scope and he came to the same conclusion. GET IN!!! So over the next half an hour we ticked off all the salient features of the bird and then phoned out the news. As this was probably only the sixth record for Leicestershire and Rutland as you can imagine I took quite a few digishots of the gull. Joined later by the Groby crew (Allen, Andy F and Paul) just before the Ring-billed Gull flew off towards the tip, it wasn't long before the group picked at least 3 Yellow-legged Gulls and 3 Caspian Gulls (2 Adults and 1 2nd-winter bird) in the large gull flock. So to put this sighting of the Ring-billed Gull in context, it's probably only the sixth time it has been recorded in the county.It was a county tick for myself, Neil and the Groby crew and Ring-billed G...
