We are quite lucky to have a good few where I live although they haven't bred as well this year as they did last year and I wonder if it's down to the exceptionally harsh winter we had.Gainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495953058626656188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906944037951213307.post-26877108813267103612010-07-04T18:44:32.129+01:002010-07-04T18:44:32.129+01:00Very nice shots Frank!

I really like them en mass in the winter with that lovely cacophony of sound they make together and of course when they're coming in to roost on the Somerset levels in their thousands! Amazing birds!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633626482754161886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906944037951213307.post-35353624912522340922010-07-04T12:29:51.750+01:002010-07-04T12:29:51.750+01:00Great pics, Frank!

One friend died from not using a seatbelt, even though he owned an insurance company, and knew better. Another was trying to remove harness from his horse, it reared up and kicked him in the head.
