Morning Richard,
Sounds as if you are recovering wellWink
This is a peach of a shot - the stacking certainly paid off.

About an inch here at work this morning (Leicester).
Don't want anymore 'cus I want to see what my background looks like with a live subject. Tomorrow hopefullyWink

Get them early in the morning Lynne or just when they have emerged and are still pumping blood about to be ready for flight. This one came onto my hand and I carefully moved it to another perch. It needs to be chilly. They will sit for ages until the heat rises and then no chance as they are just interested in feeding and mating.

I wish it was the snow Carol, but I cannot lift the camera let alone the 800mm at the moment. Sad
