VH-KDK Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I haven't bought a plane for a long time so I put that right this morning by getting the Virtualcol Beech 99 which is currently on sale. A few views of it on it's maiden flight from Birchwood to Kenai. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few have been removed, almost selectively. Maybe I’m wrong, it won’t be the first time. That laughing one is there on my phone but I’m using the same browser so it’s coming from the smiley face where they’re located. Odd this...

Dang Thanks Jack, have you seen any Hummingbirds yet this year? I hope they are back too. Maybe someone who rarely comes to this part of the forums hated seeing us having so much fun!

I've lived here for over twelve years Martyn, and used to see hundreds every day at my feeder. But this year I've only seen one. Just one bird, it makes me sad. We both know why and it's frightening.

It is very sad Jack and as you know I have noticed a big decline in various insects here over the last couple of years. Even the flies aren't as numerous as before.

John That is interesting John as I didn't realise you had Hummingbirds that far north. Our nectar feeders are the Lorikeets and the flowering gem tree next to our house has a lot of them feeding at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
