Don't take them away or they will lay some more.

I shall hunt in the Lews Castle grounds one day. I spent some time today altering the position so that the sea and the hills across the bay will be the background so it should either be out of focus or too far away to be a nuisance.<br /><br />I forgot to say that I do not like the geese. They have started to colonise Lewis in huge numbers and where there is still sheep pasture they pollute it; where there is hay pasture they damage and pollute it and they have now started to come into gardens where they play havoc and their copious and large dropping stink to high heaven.

Welding mask glass is worth a look You may need two bits but although I wouldn't recommend it a quick look should be okay with twelve stops of filter on. Remember that you haven't been lucky recently. Solar Film is about £20.00p a sheet. It colour casts something rotten but Photoshop can usually pull the colour back to almost acceptable.<br />I was thrilled with the Greenfinch. It has been tormenting me for weeks.
