From this photo John it sure looks like your rambles ain't a shambles! Nice one pal.
 
A nice view of this beauty singing its heart out ... good capture Johnny, I'm sure you've enjoyed your weekend!
 
A great capture of this Skylark. Something I've never managed myself but would like to.
 
This is a little beauty mate, good job. Hope you had fun out under the stars, we used to do a lot of camping.
 
A beautiful and unusual backdrop for a skylark shot,Johnny! Great feel in this image!!
 
A beautiful bird singing his heart out...and you have been only a few miles up the road from me!!! Silverhill when it had a colliery had a brass band and when the colliery closed...along with Teversal,the band re-located to Blidworth where Robin Hood courted Maid Marian. Bit of history for you John..whether you wanted it or not!! Its nice to see nature moving in for our delight. Good capture.

They always remind me of my childhood, going on walks with my Dad, Sister, our dog. they would be singing above the fields..alas a rare sound nowadays.
