    I remember years ago when I first took up baking my first efforts were sultana, cherry and Christmas cake. All my failures were chucked out to the birds and it became a standing joke that any minute the birds would be falling out of the sky :56::56:The fruit cakes were full of whatever brandy, sherry or whisky we had :56:

    Johnie, I just seem to be able to spot them a bit better. Still taking them all from kitchen window. Rowan tree and bird baths quite close to window. Also, put ground feeder on patio to get robins and some *. Yesterday's robin in Tollymore was no more than 3 ft away, couldn't miss! Not really sure how cropping works so will just keep blasting from kitchen or when I'm out on my travels.

    Favourite wildlife moment of the day for me were the farting elephant seals on that King Penguin Attenborough documentary on Sky Atlantic.


    Base? Crude? Lowest common denominator? Puerile? Immature?

    * yes!

    Cropping is easy enough to do Red, it just means you cut out the parts of your pics you don’t need or want and that makes your subject appear larger, you can do it on your computer or your phone, I do it with most of my pictures.

    I think rain makes everything fresher and greener. Or capturing the effect of wind on the waves. I'm hoping my camera comes today!
