  4. Bob, many, many thanks. Now I know what I spent half last winter chasing through the mud in Ravenglass. Now I can shout it by name I may get a photo.

  23. Bob,
    I was recently reading about how to find out what birds eat by their beaks (after all these years)
    This bird sure looks on the prowl for something tasty.
