Doesn't he look lovely up on that big rock Derek... he found a great castle for himself, didn't he.

A smashing picture lad - thanks.

I think the reason your thumbnail hasn't displayed properly is due to the picture size at over 5000 px. I did one as a test at 4500 px and that was OK, but I generally do mine at 3500 (just works better on my system.

Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
