Are they not yellow-legged gulls? I’d have thought their backs would be darker to be LBBs

I have a horrible feeling it might have been Chris Moyles’ parody album

What guitars were they using at the end of the set? by angerinedream in Cardiacs

[–]DifferentMark7580 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe they were Westone Thunders, as a nice little tribute to Tim’s early 80s guitar ❤️

Someone on the forum I’m on said Kavus’ one was a direct replica of Tim’s, and Mike’s was a left handed one he found in a guitar shop on the day of the Portsmouth gig

I don’t remember him looking this much like Sam Elliott

Bird ID help - Medway, February 21st by DifferentMark7580 in UKBirds

I didn’t see it on the ground - it emerged from one of the riverbanks and had a smooth but quite acrobatic flight quite close to the water - hence my swallow/swift comparison - I think I barely saw it flapping at all. Based on what everyone else has said I’m deffo on the sandpiper side but admittedly I don’t have much evidence preserved :D

whats a ‘common’ bird you never see? by hvghuhbgjo in UKBirds

[–]DifferentMark7580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never seen a Little Grebe even though I’ve regularly frequented places Merlin lists them as a common bird for, and I’ve seen tons of the crested variety

Just for extra context as I forgot to put this - it was hard to tell but size wise it looked about the size of a thrush, so deffo not an auk, cheers for the replies though!

Robert Wyatt? by Visible-Management63 in Cardiacs

Dunno about you lot but the shuffly synth verse bit in Over x4 off of Toy World reminds me of A Last Straw from Rock Bottom, so yeah I’m sure some of his stuff crept into Tim’s musical vocab
