Hi Di, is that avatar pic you when you was a youngster? Nice selection of sunny photos there.

Now you asked about the tawny owl photo - the bird was quite easy to see as it's young were sitting in the open and it was flying around a bit even though it was broad daylight, if you look at it's beak closely you'll see it has a mouse in it - also there were no leaves on the tree as they breed quite early on before the leaves get growing properly.

Yes. since you insist .That is me aged 21...half a life-time ago...+!

Am envious of your wild-life shots -for me they are aways too quick and in movement!

You look a bit like Kate Humble the Wildlife presenter

but I thought the photo looks like you are about 13.

You have to spend time with the wildlife to get good shots - don't expect to walk up and get good shots - it takes a bit of patience also to know what your looking for.

I still look much younger than my years -it is becoming quite a blessing as I age -I am thinking of starting to go backwards with my birthdays that way i'll eventually look my age!

Nice selection - are you sure that's a rook? As photo is only small and from that angle it's hard to tell - but as you have the original - if it's much bigger, it may be more evident!

The field at the rear of the cottage we were renting had at least 40 young mixed sex cattle .We were informed that they were about 2 months old and Daddy was in the opposite field

3 looks like a cep and 4 a parasol, which are both edible and supposedly very good.

Some towers today...

1 Old Town Hall, Cobh, Ireland. Up for sale when this was taken in 2007, now a Chinese restaurant
2 Concrete tower, Harwich harbour - no idea of its function, if any...
3 Perch Rock lighthouse, New Brighton, during the Tall Ships Race from Liverpool, 2008
4 Arts Tower, Sheffield University, built 1966, listed grade II*. The tallest university building in the country, with one of the few surviving paternoster lifts. When first built the entrance was across a pool with fountains - this had to be filled in because the winds around the base of the tower meant people got soaked going in
Paternoster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
5 and 6 Balkerne water tower, Colchester, opened 1883, taken out of use 1987. Over a million bricks were used in its construction. Nicknamed Jumbo after the circus elephant of the time and because it took as long to build as the gestation of an elephant. Its future is uncertain
7 Water tower, Bleriot-Plage near Calais
