As to the Red Kites they are such graceful birds and great to watch, last Thursday I was watching twelve all flying together but the light was awful so no images. The Little Owl was a real find after not seeing it for a considerable time and Richard has seen it since.

Doesn't help with the focus point in the wrong place, I had somehow managed to get mine on to 9 points recently, no hope for either of us. Great to see that Little Owl after so long however. See you tomorrow.

I was wrong about The Red Dragon - it ran from London Paddington to Carmarthen. <br /><br />That image that I took for you with your camera of the LO at your 'Site No.8' turned out very much better than my effort with my own camera. It didn't help that I'd managed to unlock my focus point from centre and drop it to the bottom of the frame!

Glad you like the D 500 its good when you buy a camera and really get on with it. The train was a real unexpected bonus and wonderful to see and the smell of the smoke took me back to my childhood, could be a case I'm reverting to childhood as I get on. All the best.
