Hi Folks.

I realise that this might not be the correct place to say this but i would just like to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who has made comments to my pictures, particularly my bird pictures, over the last few weeks. As some of you will know i have had difficulties in receiving my e-mails. This has now been sorted out and i have just received over 250 e-mails from POE that have been stuck in my ISP. spam folder.

As you can imagine it will take some time to go through all these massages, and i will not be able to reply to them all.

Many thanks also to POE for all the assistance in this matter.

I have to say that it was not a nice feeling being cut off from all all you nice folks.

Thanks again.

Roy J.


'm glad it's all sorted Roy.

 You're pictures are a pleasure, and it's great hearing from you here on the forum too.

Sue, that was a great video.  What were the raptors?  They resemble red-tail hawks.

They are Buzzards Ruth.

They are allot like the Red-tailed Hawk. The have the belly band and the dark Carpals and patagials, but no red tail.

Thank, Sue.  I used to ride my bike to work once in a while and I got buzzed by a redtail one morning.

Oh dear Wolf!

Let's see, try going to YouTube and typing in Bird Strike - do a barrel roll or the person who posted it is called betacygni

Yes, the barrel rolls give the impression of complete defiance of gravity.
