Born and bred. If you can put up with the weather it's quite nice really - mind you, a stormy day can look pretty good too

Kinda regreting selling my Bigma at the moment as it would have been especially handy for the gannet and guillemot pics. Am considering one of those 500mm mirror lenses for wildlife pics - need something reasonably lightweight and compact..

Cheers,
John
