        Blimey Woo that's magic:love30: How did you do that?I just downloaded them onto my iPad so don't know if there is anything on there to make them lighter:scratch:

        Silly Mr Kandy stood across the road with a line of other birders as they all had better lenses but some of his are not brilliant as he was using a monopod instead of a tripod and had got the camera on the wrong setting yet again so even his from what he says are not brilliant.I blame the person behind the camera myself:snorky:

          May be in the coming week if it does stay cold a few might venture down here, I can hope!

          8 Black Necked Grebes and 2 Ring Necked Parakeets at Studland this morning are my last two of the year.
          158 species, nearly all in Dorset.

              Waxwings are one of my SNS (still not seen) birds having still never seen one, along with the Ring Ouzel, Garden Warbler, Golden Plover and Pied Flycatcher, perhaps this year!!:smile:

                          One of our males seems to be trying to chat up this female. He was strutting backwards and forwards in front of her every time she tried walking past him.
