Although we may need to add to the lens purchase, the price of a gym subscription to get back some upper body strength fromweight training.

What I was trying to say was:- I am debating about getting rid of my 70-200 f2.8 and getting a 100-400. I use the 2.8 with the 1.4 tc so am at f4 so would only lose one stop of light. Time to think.

They were 4 or 5 years back but like the greenfinch they seem to have vanished. We only get Goldfinches in any numbers (even they are much reduced) and only seen 1 greenfinch and a pair of Chaffs this year. ironically during the RSPB survey hour...so they clearly came to be registered. lol Havent seen a bullfinch for 3 or more years! When we first moved here we had spoflys and redpolls nesting in the garden. Now all gone. I blame the urbanisation that has crept around us, as our garden has been made a wildlife haven. We are like an oasis to any birds that find there way here but they just seem to have given up except when food is short, and gone to quieter less disturbed locations. Pouring with rain again today and these smart little visitors, that have been coming on and off since Jan 28, sought sanctuary under the garden bench in the rose garden area.....  Click here to comment on this image. They first came on Jans birthday (28th) ....I told her it was her birthday present.  They have become quite content with my presence moving about the garden and getting the car out.The male even comes towards me if I throw out some food....which makes me wonder if he is a reared bird that avoided getting shot and found himself a wild lady. She runs when I come out the door.....like most women these days.

Another one just to keep things moving. A close Red Kite, his name is Chester, he is 18 years old this year and still has the radio tracker he was fitted with. Click here to comment on this image.
