It would also be nice to have the younger people and children enjoy birding too. I enjoyed seeing some of your scenic shots of the fields with the sheep? Love the Curlew in flight, great capture. Wonderful photos! Have a great week ahead and happy birding!eileeninmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070309645796725309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-21629590850824356372012-12-02T21:49:04.626+00:002012-12-02T21:49:04.626+00:00So beautiful there, Phil.
