  3. Hi Ray

    A lovely selection, but I ask ya; Too blooming hot now? That's never stopped me birding here in lancashire my friend! Love the Parrots on the water.

    To answer your question about positioning in the car, and it's funny you should ask just now, because I've recently refined my technique. I have taken to sitting in the back seat, both windows down, so that I can quickly shuffle along to whichever side the bird appears. I lose loads of shots to the windscreen, but it's the price I pay to make sure that I don't scare the owl. The car isn't always suitable of course but this site is perfect for it as the action happens within view of the roadside.

    Thanks for your kind words Ray.

  5. Hi Ray

    Absolutely mate, there's enough room! That would be great fun to meet up. I've been looking through my shots and I did manage to get a few owl shots at the beginning of August, so yeah, let's give it a go!
