Great photos Sir,

I don't get to shoot anything quite so exotic over here

It really is very kind of you to say Jeff. I count my blessing being able to take photos of the birds and the bees in warmer surroundings. I was going through some of the photos earlier, which you took at the BTCC last March and I remain in awe

Whilst we are on that subject, Steve is asking if we fancy a mini chill out zone meet at the BTCC at Snetterton in August

Great shot Phil. I do not remember seeing one of those on my bird feeder.

We went out early evening Paul with the Nikon and the Canon. We took over 200 photos of the birds and the animals. We didn't see any lions or elephants. The people we were staying with had a bird feeder. I got some nice photos of Doves, Speckled Pigeons, Weavers visiting the feeder and of some humped backed cattle down the road.

As the UK weather warms up, the Ospreys will be returning from Africa. You could be lucky

Rutland Water has Ospreys tagged with a GPS and for the past 3 years Paul, they have been tracked to and from Senegal and Seirra Leone from December till the end of March. Interestingly, the Osprey has been tracked to fly 120-300 miles of flight in a day. To have one of those in your garden would be awesome and so very special

I do have 2 groups of Buzzards at the far end of our fields. I love to see em circling on the warmer days but my lens selection is to short in focal length to be of use. Maybe I should chuck out some raw sausages.

And I thought I was doing alright getting a butterfly laying eggs on my finger - made difficult with me using a SLR and it sitting on my trigger finger.......
