We think we are fortunate to catch a glimpse of the Sparrowhawk in the garden. Nice to see your photos on the board again.

It might be a great way of making money for his favourite charity perhaps? I would like to put my name down for a copy... ;D

Sometimes if you click REFRESH or RELOAD the missing images will show up properly. Dunno why that happens sometimes.

Thanks for the compliments. Mike is a very gifted pediatric surgeon who likes to play with his cameras when he has time.
