    Wonderful, Beryl!

    I've been trying to catch a pic of one for ages, but they're too quick for me.

    (I was out at Keyhaven once with my husband, Glen, and a someone else you know, when Glen suddenly shouted out, 'What was that small bright blue bird which flew just behind you?....)

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.
