    Most people are happy photographing a Buzzard - you get one carrying a rabbit!!!!

    Thanks Nutty !!!! They be the yellow little egret feet for the challenge competition - but in true Cookie style, I cheated.... this bird was one of the captive aviary birds at Bristol Zoo - along with the flamingos and avocets!

    Well..... Captain Kirk cheated the final test in his Starfleet exams... why can't I !

    Thanks all, and well done Cookie on the egrets foot!! :gnthb: I can't recall anywhere in the challenge it saying it had to be a wild egrets foot, so how can you have cheated?!?!?!?!? :thmb: Whats left for us to get from the challenge, just the grey partridge isn't it? I can't remember the last grey partridge I saw, never mind had chance to photograph, its always red legs I see locally. I'll keep my eyes peeled though!
