  Very fine picture Ian, I`m hoping to renew mine this year. These bird shots on here are making me drift towards getting into ornithology.
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

  Bought a Fujifilm something or other about three years ago. It let me down badly with a firmware problem. It said it was shooting at 7meg but in fact it was only about 500k. They replaced it (long story and I won't ever go to Jessops again) and the replacement failed again telling that I had shot 1100 pictures when in fact it was only 35! It went in the bin.
  
  I now have a Sony Alpha, love it.

  Great photo of the Robin Ian, wrap up well and enjoy the old protective nooks and crannies from the wild wind & hail in the welsh mountains. Is this for Duke of Edinburgh award scheme? Don't forget yer Kendal Mint Cake and a few OXO cubes (best place I found for the chicken supreme & rice in a packet was a hole in the ground ) Have fun, keep on yomping/tabbing

  I finally am parting with my lumix and bought a new one on ebay that my son picked up in Mitchum. He has taken loads of pics this weekend and I think I have lost it already! So I shall have to start again.
  
  Lumix going on ebay as its too complicated for site work. Wish I could take such photos as you guys!
  
  BTW anyone want a small tv/video with remote fully working or do I take it to the tip? Goodmans.
