It is nice to photograph water birds occasionally, at least they don't hide behind branches and do stay in one place for more than a moment! I expect we can look forward to seeing some on your site after your visit to the coast next weekend.<BR/>I agree that Squirrel did look cheeky!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295218067929829278.post-67608854695711379112009-04-07T11:29:00.000+01:002009-04-07T11:29:00.000+01:00Warren Baker, thanks for your constructive advice....Warren Baker, thanks for your constructive advice. I do struggle with song identification and honestly think some peoples brains are better geared to it than others but I shall keep trying. Old pop songs I can manage but they have words!

It's best to go out with someone who knows the songs, and can point them out. try to distinguish the songs from one another, then try put a name to them. It's like remembering old pop songs!!Warren Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042798315431561018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295218067929829278.post-47209313155512982512009-04-06T07:49:00.000+01:002009-04-06T07:49:00.000+01:00What a lovely cheery posting Shysongbird.

When I was a child the first walk of the season to the local woods to gather Primroses, (it wasn't illegal then), was a much anticipated annual event and I remember I would tidy my bedroom without being asked (much to my parents amazement!) so that I could display them prettily around the room. I love them just as much now.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295218067929829278.post-23562933638701826382009-04-04T23:24:00.000+01:002009-04-04T23:24:00.000+01:00Midmarsh John, thank you very much, you are very k...Midmarsh John, thank you very much, you are very kind.
