BIG thumbs down on the sunburn mate...not good. Make sure you take a good quality 30+ sunscreen out with you...I'd hate to see you or your young'uns end up like me mate, with a mass of scars from having sun damaged skin frozen and cut off. This last one has shown me just how easy it is for things to go bad mate.
Cheers, Vince

Under a magnifing glass I can tell that there is water and feathers. Thought for a moment there, you might have been reeling in a goose and the trout at the same time.
#9: Re: ha-ronk Author: moose2, Location: North IdahoPosted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 3:30 pm ---- Good luck Elvis and have some fun.
#10: Re: ha-ronk Author: Elvis, Location: south island New ZealandPosted: Sat Feb 05, 2011 5:13 pm ---- slimjim I took photo off my camera them emailed it home. I will take a photo of the birds this morning with my camera and post that a bit bigger for those whos eyesight is not so good any more.

Quite often, email applications reduce the resolution of a picture to make it send quicker. You have to select making the picture retain its resolution or it becomes smaller. I bet if you check your camera, the original picture is still there in all it full resolution and glory! Post the original and we could make out them main player in the shot!!
