Well it wasn't me that suggested a heated toilet seat....it was a certain sarcastic lady.

But you reminded me that some years ago I DID use the caravan as a hide in my back garden. Wasn't necessary to use its bathroom...plenty of windows with seats already in place.:thumbs:

Well the Fuji can deliver! Even with UK smallest bird...Goldcrest.

But the viewfinder freeze is still a pain. Fortunately this little fella was very understanding and didn't move far in his movements ...enabling me to catch up with him.


You must have found the only goldcrest that stays still. :lol:

We put some more feeders up in the garden on Saturday. They seem to have scared all the birds away! :doh:

Not sure if I mentioned this already on the forum...can't find it posted....

During the snow period, I looked out on the lawn and saw what I thought was a rabbit lumbering around in the snow covered lawn. Went to get the binoculars....and it had gone. I noted the place where it was last stood and went out to look. It was 1am.

I saw this peculiar trail around the lawn....but it ended in untouched snow??? The 'rabbit' had evaporated.

The wife's curiosity was roused, so she got up and had a peep through the curtains at 2am ....then dragged me from bed half asleep to take a look. For the next hour or more I struggled to acquire focus and capture a photo in near pitch darkness.

The culprit was a Wood**** foraging for worms under the snow, but it's movements were too much for my 1sec@f5.6 and 12800iso.









The wife was clearly more awake than me because she flicked on the security floodlights :doh:

The Wood**** froze ( well it was -8] long enough for 1sec...

We switched off the lights and he continued to forage.

Yes he did have success...but wouldn't stay still...shaking with his excitement, or maybe the cold.

I went back to bed ...well it was 3:45. :needsahug:
