Ecobird club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you very much Rosa. I love these characters. Some of the early ones are a bit worse for wear with tatty clothes and bits missing which is a shame but to be expected along a windy coastline. This one looks quite new and is very well made.

A few of these fellows in Minehead Carol. Like you I captured one or two myself. Great series here. (I see Roger has also made a couple of these his HFF picture too.)

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb
3 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thank you very much Herb. I really like these characters. Of course some have been there a long time now and are tatty and damaged which is a shame. Being on the coast and exposed to the weather it is to be expected I guess. They just make me smile. I guess that is the idea!
I really liked the fishermen Roger captured too. I don;t know if the RNLI man was there when you visited? I don't think I have seen him on previous visits.

I didn't know about the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Carol, thank you for sharing some info and this delightful series of lovely characters, looking so friendly and colourful!
A great series of well composed pictures.
HFF and a good weekend

Ecobird club has replied to Adele club
Thank you very much Adele. The RNLI have my utmost admiration, volunteering to go to sea often in perilous conditions to rescue others and risking their own lives in the process.

I actually went to take a photo of the RNLI Lifeboat station seen in the PiP because the building is lovely and I like the huge red doors, but then I saw the liitle figure and had to smile! I think he must be a part of the series of characters that feature all around the town but he looks at home here!!

Tres fotos curiosas y sorprendentes. El “vigilante” es muy llamativo, desde el color hasta su casco. Esa puerta tan alta, supongo que pudiera ser para guardar alguna embarcación con palo alto. En 1901 había mucha vela. Buen domingo, Carol.

Thank you very much Jose. I think the RNLI man is a new addition. He made me smile!
You may be right about the dorrs to the Lifeboat station. I went there to take photos as I really like the huge doors and the station is an attractive building, and then found the new addition in place. He looks just right there,

Hi Carol
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different kind of composition. At first I thought it was one of those wonderful characters like in Roger's picture. But now I see his true self..
Fantastic colours too
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, a good week ahead, and stay safe!!
