Smile Newbie from Bedfordshire

Hiya's

My name is Pete, a retired wrinkly from Harrold in Bedfordshire. I have only taken up wildlife photography since packing up work as an agricultural engineer, in Sept 2006. I'm not very good at it yet but I'm getting better. It might help if I knew what I had just snapped! That's the reason I'm here to pick the odd brain or two
