That is a cracking shot, Paul. It would be a very good entry for our Photographic competition - can I persuade you to send this one in, then I shan't use it.
At present it is safely in your folder on my PC

I am trying to persuade our best local photographer to submit his pictures He could really highlight the talent we have in the North East and showcase these fantastic birds we have on our doorstep.
If we are really short I will put this in to make up the numbers but I'm a bird watcher before a photographer. There are loads of great photographers in the area with a lot of great material and with pictures already on the website I would hope we could show off our local talent.

At present, Paul, we have NO entries :-(
None of us is a professional photographer and the judging will reflect this.
So go on, have a go and encourage anyone you know to support us.

I know the feeling...................
Yes, it happens to the best of us!!
I was out all afternoon in the Area circuit of Shotley bridge/Carterway Heads/ Kiln Pit Hill/ Ebchester/ Shotley Bridge with one of our Survey Team. We saw nothing and ended up having a coffee in The Punchbowl at Edmundbyers, which is very pleasant.
Got home and looked out into the back graden and guess who was there, on one of the feeders? My Green Parakeet is back - yippee! He is gorgeous!

Mick Love the concentration on this Birds face.:t:
He was using his tail to hold his position as it was reasonably windy, I was lucky enough to get a few decent photos, I just need time to look through them.
I think I may have a better one where he's stretching his neck but will know better when I have a chance to go through them later in the week.
