Given their size it's a wonder you found him at all, Carol, and to capture him in these shots in such detail is a testament to your lens and skills.

Good to see the clangers back! It's not just amazing how you capture these tiny creatures, but how you spot them in the first place if they're as small as you describe Wink

Brilliant, I can still do the whistle quite well, and remember all the great times we would watch such a great programme.

Three images worthy of many accolades, well done with your GE.
