I am pleased that Bluenose has made  one of his all too rare appearances.  Never mind that the picture is not immediately accessible.

Very odd, still visible to me. Thought it might be a "Commonweath" block thing (:)) but Tank can't see it.

Which image host did you use, Bluenose?

Google.  I used to use photobucket, but like many others I refuse to be held to ransom for a small fortune. I'm about to go into hospital for a minor surgery, so it might be a day or two before I get back on my PC and see if I can fix the link.

I use Imgur, no charges yet and seems to work every time.

I/we hope that your minor surgery is in fact minor.  Hang in there mate.

Oops, missed that! Good luck, BN, recently had eye surgery so I feel for you.

An annual visitor to the area, a little egret, ususlly in the summer though. Rarely that it perches this end of the brook, better and safer fishing nearer the canal. Might take a look down there if it is fine tomorrow.



The instant before it launched, oh, how I wish I had usd my Nikon in multi-shot mode! Bloody twig in just the wrong place!

I stood in the unheated kitchen with feet like blocks of ice for half an hour. Got many more shots but never once did it stretch its neck in the like when I first saw it!

Andy, my neighbour and a twitcher, shouted to me that it was there, so I gave him the whole flock of pictures to send to the RSPB and mates. He only has an iPhone and my 30x optic zoom Panasonic gave far better pix.

There's a pair! Preening happily away.





These are hand held shots through a none too clean kitchen window at 30x zoom and f5.6, the best I could get with a decent speed. No time to get the tripod and Nikon set up!

And, just for a bonus, my new woolly slippers, no great shakes as a photo but I'm already appreciating their warmness!

I've always wanted a pair of these:

Limited pattern choice - like all the same but different colurs.

All I care about is that they are warm but still practical!

As long as you don't leave the house with those slippers Dave...!
