I'm aiming to document a whole season of avocets. Also to get a Bittern and Marsh Harrier nicely shot.

And to get the Falklands to shoot Cara-cara's and Penguins (properly, this time) but that might be 2007.

Also I got a macro lens fairly late last year, so hope to get to grips with using that to good effect. I'm also very keep to explore perspective, I want to do a series of shots of familiar places taken at ground level - I want to take more bird shots from low level too.

Great challenge and a great way to get motivated and out there.

Maybe there is another opportunity here besides the competition being discussed to set mini challenges for members?

Good luck.

Mini challenges! that sounds like a good idea, have i missed something?

I thought the golden eagles were fantastic, I've only recently seen one up close, captive bred, but still exciting to watch. I also enjoyed the deer. I've made a mental note that it's a place to visit in the future this time of year!

Personally I've soent the passed few days building a personal website, sadly I've just been advised that the environment I've built it in is the most expensive to host and complicated - still it'll keep me out of mischief for a bit while it's gloomy outside!
