    Definitely, Johnie. It also helps that they are so friendly. I had company today again and this wee fella came down for some food. No camera at the time but I had got him "hiding" behind a twig in the rowan tree an hour earlier.

    I know how disappointing yesterday was but all good now. I'm really pleased for you. Your pics were already brilliant but you'll be on a whole new level. Can't wait to see some pics. Let us know when you get it.

    No idea, Johnnie. The magpies in the park are quite cheeky and not easily scared. They don't fly away when you approach, just walk around you. Defiant wee bassas. :56:Btw, keep meaning to ask, how are your pitches holding up with all the rain?

    There hasn't been a game since before Christmas Red so it's not cut up, but it's very easily waterlogged as the ground is saturated, I had to string line the whole pitch after the Xmas break, the white lines had all but gone,painted the lines three times last week and the match was called off on Saturday due to the pitch being flooded, this Friday looks to be the only chance i'll get to paint again, it's a bit frustrating but...

    At work I've spotted the following , this year ; A Red Squirrel , a Pied Wagtail , a Buzzard and a pair of White Throated Dippers . Very stormy today , with high winds . Winter has not yet shown her true colours , but only mid January . So lots of time for the big freeze to bite .

    That's the camera charging but won't get to play with it till the weekend, it's a bit daunting seeing all the buttons and stuff and I'm rubbish at learning new things, but I'm very excited at the same time :)

    That’s great B, as Red said, take your time,and it will all fall into place, have a good read at the manual and get the basics and take it from there.

    Aye Red, even though it seems to be non stop rain I can usually find something to do.

    @Johniebhoy. Thank you, think I will be asking your advice while I get to grips with my new camera, you'll be sick of hearing from me :56:
