Re: Zonda
Truly Amazing. Just to think that the two following pics were taken in the same month during 2010. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_wGSRUg9JC5Q/TM70ep0w0jI/AAAAAAAAIOY/IsfZwNCMFfw/s640/Peacock%20Butterfly.jpg My garden bird hide, during the same month. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_wGSRUg9JC5...

Re: Pete Eeles
But can you Pete - or someone else - point us to the guidelines (regulations) about what can legally be taken in the wild in Britain for breeding and what can't? If it were my decision, party pooper me would say 'NONE', with the key phrase being 'taken from the wild'. Habitat reconstruction, and ma...

Re: Zonda
I had to feed these hungry little devils the whole year round in 2010, and i suspect it might turn out the same during 2011. I think it's money well spent, well,,, better than a household pet,,, can't stand them. :D https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_wGSRUg9JC5Q/TZNAqDcQSxI/AAAAAAAAJXs/pKXK0hPF7-E/s...

Re: Sigma 150mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens
Looks good Trev, and if the OS is as good as it is on my Siggy 150-500, it'll be well worth it.
Tiz a bit pricey tho. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

Jack: Mine is Tesco's Cava (Champers substitute) at circa £4.40 per bottle. Now that shows that I have a truly sophisticated and mature palate :twisted: You most likely do have a sophisticated, and mature palate, but i'm still stuck with a 22yr old one. I once tried to trade it in for a Red Wine pal...

Re: Zonda
An uneventful bird stake-out on the Dorset heaths today resulted in not a shot being taken, :( although a Comma, and a Peacock flounced about in the area. On arriving home i discovered 2 Brimstones in the garden, but couldn't get closer than 10ft. Earlier this morning i checked a Holly Blue location...

Re: Zonda
No Lee, my bird lens is still on. This pic was taken on an older camera, with my butterfly lens attached.
Soon i shall take this lens off, and attach it to my 'butterfly camera', a wicked combination.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Great pics Nick, the Holly Blue is a WOW! We have had at least two weeks of unseasonably warm weather this March. Why am i worried about April?

Re: Dusting Off my Gear for 2011!
I sent my main butterfly lens away to Nikon for a service, clean, and a new Silent Wave autofocus motor (it was squeaking), before Christmas. £350 plus,
but i hope to make it work this season, and seasons thereafter. Where did you get those wet wipes? ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Has anyone been watching Professor Brian Cox's 'Wonders of the Solar System'?
How irrelevant is 90% of that info to any human being? ....Gordon Bennet,,,, i sometimes despair at the content of modern TV. I just wish they would get down to earth a bit. I blame 'Star Trek'.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

I think you'd both better come to my office for some rattan action on the glutaeus maximus. Although my eyes have been opened to a certain extent, and i have developed a fresh interest in Rhinoceros beetles. Eew! ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
