A good catch from both of you

Especially now she's "Qualified" and has a bit of time to really concentrate on her photography - we are all doomed!

Nice shots of that elusive bird, it always hides from me at Blashford

the past couple of months it has ben more regularly posing in the trees in front of the openiong window but more often than not either too high up or with branches in front. Last week there were two of them, probably male and female flying off together

Nothing to choose really between them, It must be quite nice when your partner is pushing you to achieve higher standards or get left behind, when we go for a walk I get nothing but "ear ache" for taking so long looking for, and, taking photographs.

Dee and I are very lucky to share a common interest which from what I see on various forums is quite rare
