Late night… but worth it and I have an easy day tomorrow!

Had a great evening; Its late, but I had to do my post! I have realised more than ever that my learning curve is only just beginning.

I met up with Derek Julian this evening (Chairman of the CBWPS) (after fighting my way through traffic!). I instantly realised he was a very hard act to follow. Thank you Derek… very much appreciated and I think we may have recruited a new member so a good evening‘s work!

I had two life ticks… Red Legged Partridge and a Grey Plover. I would never have spotted either on my own!

I have seen Hares for the first time in my life, and boxing!… A Fox that I am sure if Derek had a camera to hand he would have captured. I didn’t of course! The camera was to hand, but I was not on the ball. In fact, I have not been very dedicated to the camera at all, as can be seen from my shots.
