Luck, or lack ot it, tends to go in threes, I find. Well I have been known to have a fake watches superstitious streak. Three trips out locally have resulted in no shots at all but one visit to the local RSPB reserve at Fowlmere produce a couple of birds just about worth switching the camera on for.

First was a Greylag Goose that bathed and preened on the mere.

and a Common Snipe appeared out in the open and went to sleep.

That was it.

I have been steadily making progress on editing the images from my Hungary trip and have posted some to this website - look under Recent Additions or the Trip Gallery. I still have many more to go, especially Buzzard, White-tailed Eagle and Caspian Gull. Hopefully within the next few days......

After spending a lot of time on the computer, I was so cheesed off that, on Monday afternoon, rolex replica  I decided to photograph some of the vistors to my garden feeders. Some decent images resulted, certainly better than I have managed in the three local trips out.

For those of you who are wondering, the pinkish background is my neighbours house wall - not to everyones taste but at least a clean background. Could I ask him to paint it green? - perhaps not.

Yesterday, I went back to Norfolk and arrived back with a few images to process - that reminded me that I had not written this blog so I am now up-to-date for the time being.

More to come shortly.
