Brilliant Baz. Had some laughs with Dick John over the year's even went over to Dublin with him a couple times. / Top man Steve

Thanks Baz . I thought that I recognized you from some of your posts on here. Everyone knows me unfortunately. Be good to see you out and about. o'we Steve n Lou . X

Len. Your in esteemed company there my friend . They will lead you astray. Ste

Gaz We've got to be trusted mate. We are the future of this scene. 😎. Forgot where you put what ? Me n Lou are good thank you very much. Ste

Andy. The second uncropped picture is with a 1000 mm lens plus the crop factor which takes it to approximately a 1600 mm lens so you as a photographer can appreciate how far away the bird actually was . I didn't find the bird. One of the regular birders got lucky when he saw a Dunlin which is small anyway and the Temmincks Stint was following it very closely. . It actually walked underneath a lapwing, that's how small it is. Steve

Gaz. I knew we get get words of wisdom from you. You have been saying as much for years mate regarding the northern soul scene. Oops the rare soul scene sorry soul police. 😂 Trust you n the lovely Debs are well mate Ste

Thanks Mate. Hopefully see you Saturday night

Temminicks Stint. This tiny wader . (Sparrow size ) the first that I have ever seen refused to venture closer than about 100metres. I used my 500mm lens with a 2X converter and heavily cropped the picture just to get this image. I've just added the uncropped version for comparision The bird breeds in Scandinavia and the Artic and winters in Africa . How such a small bird can make such a incredible journey never ceases to amaze me Steve

Thanks Russell. I will look forward to watching the film. Steve

Rick. I've never used one either mate. It just seems like every time I go a supermarket someone is using one of the machine's. I get mine printed off at 15 " x 10" at Cambrian photography they a bit bigger than normal as my partner got me a portfolio case and I'm currently building it up. Regarding the downloading. I do it virtually every time I get home from using the camera just in case. Steve

Rick. You could also try taking the memory card to your local supermarket. Tesco. Asda etc and insert the card into the photo printing machine to see what that says regarding the pictures. Memory cards do occasionally become corrupt and fail. Don't know why or how. Good luck Steve

Little Ringed Plover. This little bird is not much bigger than a House Sparrow Steve

Andy. The picture of the boats is very atmospheric mate. Of time long gone. I bet they have a story to tell Steve

Made the trip down from Widnes a few times . Always had a great night. Since then I've spent many a happy hour down in Colwyn Bay at a friends or at Cambrian photography. Must admit it was looking rather derelict last week before it was finally demolished Steve

Brown Rat. One of the most hated animals on the planet Steve
