Another visit to leighton moss again today still no birds off the list . however got to see peregrine, little egret, curlew and snipe among others today. snipe are near impossible to see once they,re settled on the ground as you can see from the pictures Steve

Good luck Pete. I hope you get the same price as the one on this thread went for then you can get your damp problem sorted. Out of my league. Steve

Oh. Pete you tease. Steve.

Peter. You already have the patience, if your walking down the towpath on the Grantham canal, that's all the patience you need . Steve

Peter. You can have the camera on auto and just press the button , it will auto focus , set the shutter speed everything. Basically a point and shoot till you get the hang of things. I'm a complete dunce when it comes to technology and gadgets. But it so simple. Honestly Peter. If I can do it anyone can. Steve

Russel. Like the pictures. Peter beat me to the point about the mild winter. The nature reserve that I've been today had me in shirt sleeves at one stage it was that warm in the sunshine. Steve

Peter Spring has arrived, seen my first lambs of the year today and in my post the Avocets have arrived back from wintering in Africa. Go on you know you want to buy a new camera. I've done loads of things in my life, some good some not so clever but buying a dslr camera was a good move, I can't believe that it's taken me so long to jump in to proper photography just wish I had done it years ago. Steve

Well I finally joined the RSPB today when I got to Leighton Moss reserve near Carnforth. Had a wish list of 4 birds to see. Marsh harriers, bitterns, bearded tits and the just arrived avocets. Guess what didn't see any of those or the otters and red deer that frequent the reserve. Had a close encounter with a coal tit, it sat about 3 ft from me at eye level , guess who had his 400 ml lens on his camera so couldn't get a picture, Steve

Sent you pm. Steve

Thanks Gary. you work in a very special place. Steve

Gary do you work at St Joseph's ? And did it used to be a approved school ? Steve

All systems go for. RSPB Leighton moss reserve tomorrow. First avocet of the spring has turned up. Can't wait. Hope to have some pictures to post. Steve

Dave is indeed rich in knowledge and respect and his love for this music knows no boundaries. Steve

Pm.has been sent Chris. Cheers Steve

Superb it's a subject close to my heart and no doubts lots of good people on here. Steve

Am I alone on here . I had never heard of him or the song before the u tube clip posted on this thread. Ignorance is certainly bliss in this case. Steve

Stanley. You will have to play it for me next time we catch up. If you win it of course. Good luck mate. Steve

Thanks Pete. That's the one I had along with You succeeded , on the same gold label. Steve

Didn't it also come out on a gold Broadway label or am I getting mixed up with something else. Steve

Oi. Mines a happy Manchester home. Full of loonies but a happy home. Steve

Thanks for that. Lou,s happy now she's seen it. Steve
