Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.

Just another 'hare' pic but I love the large bulging eyes on these creatures.

I think I mentioned this once before, but the area I saw this one in I counted 32 in a 2 mile walk in this area one afternoon.

Try looking at the second one which is slightly bigger and I'm not sure how to delete the first but sure feel Rolf's going to tell me how to.

Pete.

Yes, but you didn't tell me how you removed it for future reference.

Thanks anyway Beryl.

Slow on the uptake Rolf. It's becoming more regular though, but as the saying goes......I'm not going to let it worry me!

Thanks Rolf and Beryl for taking my hand......Ahhhh!

Saw at least 16 the other day in an area were I saw 32 in a two hour walk last summer Blue Jay. I've never seen a young one (leveret) yet despite these numbers of adults.
