I am wondering why the EXIF data on your photos seems to have been removed as us novices can learn a lot from stuff like that? I have deliberately not included the EXIF data as I have a...

Re: Susie

Hi Susie.

Glad you managed to get to Denbies; I think I recognise some of the cast ... :D :D :D

Good hunting.

Kindest regards. Mark

Re: Mark Colvin

Surrey Downland, 30-31 July 2013 Simply wonderful … Although I am born and bred in West Sussex, I live very close to both the Surrey and Hampshire county borders; so the occasional venture into foreign territory is often inevitable. The natives seem quite friendly ... I recently spent two days sear...

I've really enjoyed reading about your Peacocks. I'm sure it was a very satisfying moment as they took flight for the very first time ...
