Hope your eyes are improving and all is as it should be at this stage :-)<br /><br />Good to see you out with your camera. What a lovely collection of butterflies too… love the Brimstone :-)<br /><br />Lol… a little at the coot as most times I’ve seen them they have been playing the bossy role. <br /><br />Lol again… perhaps Mum Mallard was teaching them the green cross code ;-)<br /><br />I see your break into blogland has been short. Hope things are getting a little easier now :-)Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295218067929829278.post-82550413490034648172010-09-09T22:36:38.163+01:002010-09-09T22:36:38.163+01:00Phil

Yo...Hi Jan.<br />Great to see you back and fighting fit.<br />Your super butterflies will be good to look back on during the impending w*****r!<br />Moorhens are great, much better tempered than Coots I always think. Although the one featured probably didn't deserve it's rough treatment.<br />As for frogs, I like them, they're harmless and they don't run (hop) away too fast.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543610581948446675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295218067929829278.post-14632617753364554842010-09-04T23:58:05.968+01:002010-09-04T23:58:05.968+01:00Glad to hear you are over the worst Jan.
