    I have to admit that I'm not very expert at setting the camera (still learning).. but I always take in RAW so if I'm only a little out then I can compensate later

    Lovely photos, Joe - all of them - but I particularly like the one you posted yesterday of the parent Coot feeding her young.

    Beryl, that's the first young Robin I've seen to gain a bit of reddish colouring. 'Ours' are still spreckly brown!

    You're doing really well, Beryl. I guess you must be the BB champion (and that stands for 'Baby Bird', not 'Big Brother'! )

    Have you noticed how many views this thread has had?

    How lovely to see so many, Beryl!

    We've seen a definite rise in the number of House Sparrows near us. Well, from none to about 9 is a rise, isn't it?

    Do you think that has been reflected throughout the country?

    We have quite afew along the Estuary and just by the boat yard here there seams to be 50 or more. I love them .They are always so have and when in the bushes they just chater all the time and isreally pleasant. They never seam to squabble
