Strange because with macros, it's the opposite - I like to show common little stuff in different ways. Perhaps it's because birding is still new for me.

Thanks again.


Oh, Bev, just how many birds do you have which are named?
Just for the record there is Chip & Pin the robins, but im now certain Pin is no more, Stan & Madge the House Sparrows, and Snatch the Starling (these are all hand tame to feed) and then there is M'lady the blackbird, she will come to your feet and be fed, and more so when she has young but has'nt the courage yet to take from the hand.
There, i think thats it. Am i mad?
