  2. Fat rascal before the snow , I haven`t seen him since ! HWH .
  3. Yellow mutation of the Australian Turquoisene parrakeet. [ Hen.] Photo through the aviary wire. I bred four of them this year, some with more red. HWH.
  4. Try `Camera Care Systems`. I have one of these for my SLR , currently lent out . Another excellent bit of gear. [ http://ccscentre.co.uk/ ] HWH
  5. Currently I am using one from Aldi , 8" long, 5.5" tall and 5.5" from back to front. It had a detachable lower part which I gave away to a friend. This item is well padded and has a compartment for extra cards , batteries etc. It has a robust padded handle and a shoulder strap is provided. Cost was about £8 at the time. At that time I got one or two extras for prizes at our stalkers shoots but they have all gone now and none have been in stock at Aldi since then. HWH.
  6. Seasons greetings to all. HWH.
  7. Dawn encounter. [ Swaledale sheep, useful Red Stag and a Herdwick sheep. ] HWH.
  8. Ronin. Regret I cannot agree with you here regarding the LUMIX camera. This unit incorporates a Leica lense which goes from 28 mm wide angle to 504mm telephoto, what more does anyone want ? It has image stabilising, macro mode and internal editing facilities also. Below is a pic. I have just taken of your post heading. [ missing on preview, I will try to whistle it up. ] For a one camera person who requires a small light unit which serves all purposes this is the one or probably better still its newer updated model if you have more cash to spare. HWH.
  9. Curlew. Pic. taken with Lumix. HWH.
  10. brown dog. Your pictures taken with the small camera are excellent. Long lenses for SLR cameras can be pricy but an alternative is available for £220 or so. This is the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ18 , it has a Leica 18X zoom lense built in which is approx. equal to 504 mm on a film SLR. This camera is about 4.5 inches wide, 3 inches tall and 6.5 inches long with the hood fitted. [ in the photo the hood is incorrectly fitted and needs rotating so the long bits are top and bottom.] Weight is only 360 grammes. Pic. below of the FZ18 compared with a Nikon SLR and zoom lense. HWH.
