    Loads Ross, look at Birdguides.com, looking at today's reports, lots in Scotland and Norfolk, plus a couple in Guildford, so just need to come a little further West.

    Lovely-looking birds. What I love about this shot os that it looks like 3 shots of the same bird as he turns his head to our right

    It IS stunning, Ross!

    (And thanks for linking to that set of pics - so many places there special to me! I guess the old puffer (at Irvine harbour) is going to get a clean up too!)
