This is a new crop of a photo I first posted last year and which I think works better than the more conventional format - what do you think?

Some of you will have seen the original version but I thought some of our newer members might like to see it.

I'd also like to take the opportunity of wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Jeff

Be great to get some of these superb images into the RSPB collection of Christmas Cards for next year. I bought 40 this year of mixed design, and while all were produced to a very high standard, including some excellent bird photos, the designs on half of them (mediocre paintings of village snow scenes or illustrations of robins sitting on pillar boxes etc) were a little disappointing!

Maybe someone should contact them and point them in wab's direction cos I can think of dozens of pics on wab that would make an absolutely stunning collection which would outsell anything they have ever offered before ......
