Some lovely photographs there yet again Nom are you lucky and 'just happen to see things' or do you spend ages watching and waiting for the right moment to come along

Re: Wildlife patch . Pic Heavy.

A combination Meg, field-craft, knowledge of the area, pure luck,and a guarantee that if im without a camera something stunning will turn up.

I have spent many long and happy hours here,its very popular with, dog walkers, cyclists, tourists, and dodgy looking blokes with scopes and cameras.
