A cracking set of shots - I really like the first image, boh for the misty atmosphere and the people in the foreground giving a great perspective.

But then, what do you expect with such a quality camera VW.

Your wildlife photography really is improving, Cheryl. A cracking shot you should be proud of.

Some cracking images there. I must remember the date for next year.

Excellent shot Cheryl - well done!

Following on from my visit to the town centre, I took a tootle around the river and park. For a Friday lunchtime, I was amazed at how busy it was.

Now there's a thought Ryewolf - Chester........ Thank you Clicker. That's the word that describes Shrewsbury, vibrant. The footfall in the shopping areas has to be seen to be believed - at times it's heaving and yet Shrewsbury is a nightmare to drive around, unless you know it intimately - hence a well supported park and ride.

Great shots. I would think this little fellow was entirely dependent on us humans for his living, given the deformed feet he has.

I do so like steam trains in mono - it really brings that era to life.

I had a wander round Shrewsbury t'other day...

Didn't I read somewhere that the bees defence to the parasitic wasp depends on the temperature at which the wasp can survive. Once the wasp attacks, the bees swarm over it, effectively suffocating it. Or am I talking a load of rubbish?

Thank you, Paul.

Apart from the description, I haven't got a clue.

He's hardly aiming that gun, with his eyes screwed shut. Just as well he was firing blanks. Great sequence of shots.

Excellent shot, Lez. You should be proud of yourself.

I was Clicker, but there were so many 'nearly there' shots.

Just for you Clicker.

It was the perfect gift, Clicker - something I have been anticipating since Christmas - and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. For those that are interested, this is the chap who runs the courses, http://naturesphotos.co.uk/ which is well worth the visit. Incidentally, Bob is a professional photographer, who gave me an real insight into how my camera works, especially regarding the histogram and ISO numbers.

I was given a Christmas present of a photoshoot, photographing Harvest Mice. After a cancellation through bad weather I finally got to fulfil the present. These little creatures, and I do mean little, (they were less than the size of my thumb), were so fast it was difficult to get a sharp image. Macro lenses, breezy days and Harvest Mice are opposing bedfellows. Anyway, a few shots from the day.

Well done Strav. Excellent choice.

Good Heavens! Thank you Polly - I too liked James' Mono Letcomb Brook, so I'm more than pleased to have got POTW. Thank you all for your kind comments, much appreciated.

Thank you Clicker. The little grey duck is a Bafflehead, for your information and yes the Flamingos are a strange breed and one of the most photogenic of birds, I've found.

I stand in awe of you, Paul.
