You have read about John Pringle visiting here recently and the auto focus on his 500mm lens went on the fritz so he had to shoot everything manually. Lots of young birds on your outing, which is encouraging, but it's a damn shame that the hunters are still blasting away at anything that flies. A pox on them and a double pox on landowners who still condone, sponsor in fact, the shooting of Hen Harriers. David M.

No raptors, but plenty of variety, and chicks to admire. I know I have told you this before, but I really do love your header, it's a lovely photo. I do hope all will be well with your camera lens.

I prefer conservation of course. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post.

I'm sure you will be formiliar with it, and maybe the one you have got your hands on , you didn't give details.<br /> All the best Gordon.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597183740897488160noreply@blogger.com
