thanks David - I will take all of this into note for sure. Really appreciate the views you give Cheers G

Wow! thanks guys for all your advice - it really has stopped me dead in my tracks and made me evaluate things in greater detail. Maybe the best bet will be to see whta the A77 is actually like. My main fears were that it may be small in the hand (I love the chunky feel of the A700) and that the...

:thumbs: Thanks - I think I will go take a look at the D7000. The D700 appeals but like you have mentioned, it is the FF dilemma over losing all that extra reach. however, would it be fair to say that you could crop the D700 and still get enviable results compared to the D7000? Thanks so much...

Thanks Roy! I am planning to go again this month, before the head off if possible. When i was there last, they were very busy - as the young had just been born, but they sure are quick to capture i found. Thanks for your kind words. :thumbs: Cheers G

Thanks - I was pleased as it was handheld too. Cheers G

And here is one of my Owl shots: :thumbs: Cheers G

I couldn't agree more! These are always overlooked in favour of the rare and extreme, but like you I am a fan of the 'City Rat'. I think they have a quite a bit of character to boot too. :thumbs: Cheers G
