      :) Good afternoon Woo. Having previously painted a little lost Owl :WINK1: perhaps I should turn my attention from flowers to birds ... my little Common Waxbill and your Nightingale ... :scratch:

      Great picture, Woo. We've just come back from Cliffe Pools - the nightingales were in fine voice but we didn't get to see any - it's rare to catch a glimpse. The skylarks were putting on a good show,though.

      Hi Woo. We had a lovely time, thank you, but nothing would pose for us! The skylarks put on a great aerial display - swooping to catch insects - but they never sat anywhere long enough for us to get a shot! I'm sure you must have seen them at Cliffe - they're a bit larger than sparrows and have little crests on the tops of their heads.
