    Thanks strongy,
    We think it has nested close to the window so hope to see a lot more of it. We may even see some babies!

    The down side of this is that I can't get on with my paperwork. I put a few more photos on 'Wildlife' but it is very difficult to photograph as it is on the move all the time.

    marg and roders,
    love your photos! [​IMG] [​IMG] Wish I could get my so sharp.

    Shiney - lovely shot and such a pretty bird. Roders, I dont 'do' frogs and toads but that pic makes him look so sweet! Pal - great photo - Im ok with creepy crawlies!! :rolleyes:
    I was quite pleased with my shot cos it was quite a long way off and I had to fully zoom in - I thought it would be out of focus - very pleased with my new toy!

    Oh, dear me, lovely photos coming up again ... I think my photographic interest is sadly slipping away with each new photo. [​IMG]

    They are not here yet ... maybe later in the month or year, only the Whites (cabbage ones) at the mo. As I've cut everything back that attracts butterflies, that doesn't help either! I saw a lamb today but didn't have the camera.

    We don't have many animals here, ie, sheep, cattle, etc, as it's fish country.

    As we are storm season, it's difficult, not a lot of any critters about, but I'll persevere. Promise! [​IMG]

    Hehehe - I was sitting by the pond yesterday, frogwatching, when a tiny wren came and I saw in the flash of a moment, the perfect image of the wren beside the frog - about 3 or 4 times smaller! But where was my camera? Nowhere on my person that's for sure!

    Still kicking myself - they were just inches away - so near...
