Update today on PJB is not great and not unexpected.<br />Yes, plenty of space to stroll unhindered. The woodie is not fat just hunched up!<br /><br />Cheryl. Late summer colours showing through now with the heather carpet regenerating after the last devastating fire.<br />Believe me getting close to birds is harder than flutters. <br />Merlin in the garden..whow, that would be a 'megga' here.<br /><br />Bob B. Cheers. BTW the BT Skimmer was actually a Keeled (see below).<br /><br />Anonymous. Thanks for the confirmation (moth) and correction for the Keeled Skimmer. I posted late p.m. and obviously wasn't concentrating..many other things on my mind.<br /><br />Chris. Nice to see you back and glad you liked the montage.<br /><br />Robin. Ta very much.

The colours are muted, giving a much softer look.<br /><br />I have woodpeckers in the garden, but as soon as I hold my camera up they take flight. I have always found birds difficult to photograph but will not give up.<br />I had a merlin sitting on the shed roof the other day, not the first sighting. So exciting.....<br /><br />A lovely post as always.<br /><br />Thinking of you and your family at this time......Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906944037951213307.post-6293532920896252182010-08-15T04:39:11.580+01:002010-08-15T04:39:11.580+01:00Hi Frank...hope things are better for you!!
