I know that it may be a problem if i find a rare but i guess it will just have to hang around! Except when ive got to do a description i'm pretty terrible about writing up sightings at the end of the day, i guess its all about as you say capturing the memories in my brain and enjoying the moment.</p></blockquote><p></p>
