Taken today in a light shower, not as damp as Riches Robin mind That was also abiding by the bird/water ruling.

Your so full of yourself

That is a cracking shot of what has to be my favourite bird. Thank you for sharing.
PS Does this mean I get pudding now too.

Just a thought. Did you place that stone in the water for them?

 

[fracster]

No Charlie, I found where they are nesting.......

More pics to follow later.

And yes,the nice Mr Darling gave me some money back,so I can stretch to a pudding as well now.........

That stone has not been in the water very long I dont think. That is why I asked.

As auld Geordie used to say " A denner isna a denner withoot pudding"
