    As well as the normal Garden birds we get, we have now had in the last week, a Jay for the last 2 days, then a Heron today.

    I wouldn't be surprised you found those critters in my house by the looks of the tiles .... I DO remember you on your hands and knees several times. :lollol:

    Again, excellent shots with your new camera. :thumb:

    Thanks strongy and Sis.

    No, I didn't find them in your Casa, Sis, but out on the kitchen patio. It is actually the same one - first on the floor and then I picked it up and put it on your patio table for a better shot :D

    A wasp dragging a dead dragonfly off.

    Since it couldn't be seen clearly on the ground, I picked it up and put it on the patio table in our hotel.
