Nice Snappy, Reminds me me and Mrs PB must sort a winter wwt trip out

They have just returned tae the Haugh as of yesterday, lovely in-flight shot SM

Thanks Linda, they are nice to see and photograph I wonder if the people who tracked it would tell you where it was.

Well they did send me it in March this year when I reported it and they told me when it had returned safely to Iceland.....looked like it was strangling the poor thing but it wasn't apparently

That's a great one Snappy.
