Nearly....


This was the closest i got to getting a photo through the telescope of a fishing Osprey. I need a digital slr.






A sight we thought we would never live to see - 08, the 10yr old male finally incubating!!!!. I think we all owe him an apology for the many years of verbal abuse that he has taken from us.
