    Lovely shot, Woo.

    You are naughty saying things like that about Mrs Woo all the time, I think that you make half of them up - but which ones? :confused:;)

    Wonderful shot, Bob! Just look at the detail on the body and head - excellent. :thumb:

    I've not seen as many of the Southern Hawkers as usual in our garden this year.
