  1. We get loads down here Steve ... watch out for when they start courting and do the display thing where they throw their head backwards ... they look just like a Rabbit. ( I posted a picture on here a few years back of one doing the Rabbit impression).
  2. O'Jays by a mile ... that's the one I am going to get up out my chair and dance to, the Linda Jones one is slower, probably OK to listen to, but not as powerful a dancer as the O'Jays.
  3. Yes Steve ... the heathens like to drink it through straws ... I blame their Grandmother
  4. A pair of vandals turned up last night, and proceeded to wreck the house and make a mess ... they can try and look innocent
  5. This one is for Steve (Winsford Soul) - I know the majority of my images posted on here are taken using a 500mm lens, but I really enjoy going back to basics using manual focus lenses, and the best for that are the Zeiss ones, unlike todays modern 'plastic' lenses from Nikon and Canon, these things are all metal and built like a tank. A couple of examples of the images they can produce, seen full size on a monitor they have a 3D feel to them
  6. You can get pictures of the Moon during daylight heres one I got a few years ago
  7. Sad news indeed ... RIP Grant
  8. I will run through it with you tomorrow night Steve ... I used to play a 4 string bass in a band, in my late teens early twenties, a Fender Precision (pre CBS), Hiwatt AP100 valve amp, Marshall 4 x 12 cab ... no wonder I have tinnitus
  9. Cheers Steve, she is a bit shorter than me, her brother is just over 6ft. It was great Steve, and she looked stunning, I was a very proud Dad yesterday, Carol took the photo, she caught it just right
  10. Try removing the lens and cleaning the contacts on the body and the lens, that can resolve some problems.
  11. Is it definitely the button stuck down Steve, might be worth googling the fault as you may find a DIY fix online. I could always loan you a Nikon body, but you would need an adaptor to fit your lens on it ... either that or get creative with some gaffer tape
  12. Never seen a red one Steve, all the bushy tailed rats down this way only have the base grey primer coat
  13. Wouldn't matter really Steve, they only go out in the dark ... surprised we never saw more of them at nighters, being nocturnal and underground
  14. Nice shot of the Badger Steve ... would have looked good in colour
  15. Hey Steve that Canon 500mm has got some reach ... Manchester to Africa You sure that was not taken in a Safari Park in the UK and someone is pulling your leg
  16. A couple more Dragonfly images from the weekend, including a pair mating
  17. Hey up Sooty, nice to bump into you the other week ...
  18. A young House Martin getting ready for the long flight south on a damp and gloomy morning
  19. ... I thought twice about doing my rabbit impression I tell you
  20. This Buzzard got fairly close as it drifted overhead
  21. Everyone needs a Hobby, the bird that gave it's name to the popular table football game (Falco Subbuteo), this one was busy catching Dragonflies over the reservoir and reed beds
  22. I have not had much time to get out with the camera the last couple of months, managed a morning out on Saturday. A male Migrant Hawker
  23. Johnny Howard by quite a distance, more punch and power, more of a dancer to my ears ... and my ringtone to boot .
