At least your circles are circles I just grab the pencil tool and draw a ring round. You are obviously a professional.

Thanks for educating me into the other reasons why people go to Ravenglass.

Your pheasant is a real beauty. There are a few around here but they are wild and wary. Guess they are never sure whether it is shooting season or not. Wouldn't mind borrowing some of your mud and sticking it up a few barrels myself.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-1428163727581498602010-12-28T17:22:17.917+00:002010-12-28T17:22:17.917+00:00Keith, lady ducks are the very devil unless one is...Keith, lady ducks are the very devil unless one is really close.......these were both well over a hundred yards away in near darkness. So are cropped images. The reason I have doubts about the second is it's extensive white chest Not many wildfowl about but the wildfowlers were around shooting so that explains that.........wish they could get some mud up both barrels and not notice.<br />I seem to be lucky with Nuthatches this year. They are generally aggressive towards other birds but this one isn't.<br />I much prefer the ice and snow.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-26967229851693625122010-12-28T17:05:24.096+00:002010-12-28T17:05:24.096+00:00I am so envious of that Nuthatch!

I wish they'd come visit me.<br /><br />First one looks like a Widgeon to me, Adrian; second one looks similar, but I'll reserve judgement on that one.<br /><br />Rain here today, and fog forecast all week.<br />A change from snow.holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.com
