Thanks Margaret.

It is a shame that they don't seem to be having a photo comp at the Library this year. That number 9 picture would be a worthy shot for such a comp.
Do you post any of your pics on Flickr? I am sure that if you did there would be magazines and periodicals tapping you up for shots like that.

Last years library photo comp the photo had to be taken within the last two years so I`m guessing it`s every other year.
I do put pics on Flickr, they don`t really get many views though.

Thanks Dave, I`ve seen them around that area a few times now, there was one on that perch when I arrived (might have been same one) but I scared it off. So plonked myself down where I hoped it wouldn`t see me and waited for it to come back.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I have just had a look at your pics....they are fantastic. I will be looking in from time to time.
I sometimes get lots of views other times not so much...but I have had quite a number of requests to use my pictures for brochure, publications and the like.

I have seen them down Rishton bottoms, but I have never been quick enough to capture a shot...and certainly not one as good as that one.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I just noticed I put god spot instead of good spot, anyway I dont have the patience to sit and wait and thats how some of the best shots are captured. I am guessing the spot is close to that brick tunnel as that is where I have seen the flashes of colour myself.

Quite a bit further round towards rishton than that, if you go under motorway bridge, coming from church (watch out for the broken glass for doggies paws) and follow the path there's a field to your right, usually full of cows, at the far end of the field is where I got these.
Been down again tonight and seen them all along that stretch up to motorway bridge, unfortunately they saw us and didn't hang around.
