@Anna-B we think it is a Gray Jay.
We stopped for a mid-climb snack and this cheeky chappy appeared right next to us. Offered some trail mix and it was happy to come get it off our hand. Magical.
Rubbish pictures of a fab ride round a Ladybower classic from Hope yesterday

No pics from Sunday's we spin - mrs_oab and eldest_oab had walked a couple of Munro's on Friday so had rough legs. Lovely to be out in the warmth and yet clear autumnal air with some changes in leaf colour....
When you wish you learned to jump... Frisco...
What the f6ck? Did somebody break picture inserting? It was working ok for me last week and I've not changed anything.
I've just tried re-posting a photo I uploaded last week and that's giving the same error.
From Android/Chrome FWIW
I like to start my weekends early and finish them late so sneaked another ride in this morning.
Solo loop on some of the local stuff.

Out with the fat guys and gals up Glen Eanaich.
Beach with the boy this morning, then another 2,800 ft round the Purbecks.
A couple of dry days and the trails are running well. Get out while you can. Pics don't do the ride justice, but I didn't stop to take pics on the gnar. Local Bakewell loop

Took Friday off and like many it seems, rode at the Golfie, epic day and +7000ft.
Local gravel loops Sunday and yesterday after work - glorious weather and bone-dry trails.
TAFKASTR, I wish I'd have spoken to you before my weekend in the Peaks! Spent Saturday on the excellent Win Hill off piste goodness, then Sunday following an old 20mile GPX loop I found online that was mostly road and byways. Pretty dull except for 2 decent techy descents.
We did manage to see the flypast at Chatsworth House though so not all bad!

Yeah, I'm out most days at the moment, but Sunday was an early one. Well, you did better than me - saw all the balloons taking off in Chatsworth Sunday morning which was decent. I'm yet to do any Win Hill off piste though and didn't see the Red Arrows, even though I live 2 miles away. There's quite a few cracking descents in the area though

Red arrows? They came low over my head when I was climbing up Coombs road (I think) if I'd have had any breath they'd have taken it away
I missed the Red Arrows, but caught the Lancaster on Sunday. It was Ace!!
I have a couple of vids but can't upload 😕
