I laughed at Snippet's method of finding a drink - he'd be a dirty dog after that!

I thought the photo of the cotton grass was brilliant -- but that gorgeous blackbird photo was the best for me. I know the blackbird is common place over there and is rather noisy, though he has a beautiful song, but when you never see any and remember them so clearly, the photo was almost breathtaking.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-511763570601976902013-07-12T23:28:15.900+01:002013-07-12T23:28:15.900+01:00Forgot to say you will need to scroll down a littl...Forgot to say you will need to scroll down a little once link is clicked :-)Caroline Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203454486693014969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-84880347762924571502013-07-12T23:27:21.911+01:002013-07-12T23:27:21.911+01:00Wonderful siskins, Em!
