Fizz :-) 26 Mar 6:28pm, 26 Mar 2025 9,470 posts	Quote Pin Fizz :-) We’ve not noticed a nest ever before, but this one is right next to the garden path, so we could hardly miss it! Hope we don’t disturb them.

Oranj 27 Mar 8:07am, 27 Mar 2025 4,471 posts	Quote Pin Oranj @Eynsham Red The guy I was jumping with had a GoPro, but I didn't ask him for a copy of the vid. I have some others though, so I ought to do a compilation sometime.

Oranj 28 Mar 9:19pm, 28 Mar 2025 4,475 posts	Quote Pin Oranj @McGoohan I have every intention of mapping a jump with my Garmin in the future (at the moment, it just tells me I'm having an intense experience via heart rate), but I'm mostly concentrating on the jump itself and don't really want that distraction. I always remember: skydiving is a dangerous sport that we've (mostly) made safe; keep your mind on the task in hand! There are some really neat mapping tools for skydivers that use the KML file from a jump to animate this, and @oi you asked something similar a while back. Watch this space.
