They are really interesting, and look like little creatures.

It's strange you should say that Tina... I think the first one looks like a horse from the back with it's head turned to look at the camera... mind it might be something to do with the Magners Pear Cider I'm drinking...

[NannyFerret]

Can't be the cider lol, as I think it looks like a horse too.
The bottom one looks like one of my ferrets standing on it's hind legs with it's little paws held in front of it.

I think you could be right...

I can see the ferret likeness - but, what about the little pointy thing on the first one's nose - perhaps it's not a horse, but a baby Unicor!. Nice detail anyway, John, and a bit of fun to start the day

You mean I've been drinking cider for breakfast...

[Kobione]

Don't think it would go to well with our bacon, egg and cheese roll. Think I'll stick to coffee just for now!l

annie... I used my Panasonic FZ100. Sometimes when I'm on one of my long treks like yesterday's in the Forest of Dean I don't want to be carrying lots of gear with me ( already had bins & telescope tripod etc) and the Panny is a very good all rounder. I went out yesterday primarily to watch Peregrine Falcons at Symonds Yat Rock and they put on a good display of their flying skills. No photos though... too far away... it was viewing only through binoculars & telescope.
