Took a couple of this fella last week, originally thought he was injured but leaving the nest is a tiring business and he only wanted to sleep.

Moved to here after i woke him up for some more zzs

hate to put a downer on this, but that doesnt look like a fledgling to me. Its too colourful and there is no yellow at the edge of the beak, so this tells me that this poor finch is unwell - it looks classic to the horrible virus trichomonosis (spelling wrong I think lol). Its a horrible disease - eyes and beak are messy, they have difficulty eating and eventually die.

There is nothing you can do for it unfortunately and most finches can pick this up as can sparrows.

none at all technically - isn't it all to do with refraction of light or some such?!

seems to be a common occurrence in nature - things look one way, however in reality are quite different - all part of natures incredibleness!

Ok then so as its quiet and couple of snaps from me - snaps because I took them with my G12 quickly so they are 'iffey' pics lol.

Anyway, our new additon to the household who I got just over 2 weeks ago from Cats Protection is Maisie. Some may remember that I lost my dear 20 year old cat at the end of Feb and the house was just so empty without a feline prescence - so, introducing Maisie, a 4 year old who was bereaved and had a slightly strange living arrangement with a cat upstairs and she lived downstairs because they didnt get on, so Maisie has taken a while to settle in as she was pretty scared and on the defensive a fair bit during her first few days in our house. She is coming along in leaps and bounds now. She seems to quite like her photo being taken so hopefully I can get some proper shots in a while.

Still running v2 here so might finally be time for an upgrade!

Investigating slide/negative scanners at the moment. Any recommendations out there?

I've just got one of these a Canon Canoscan 9000f the RRP is about £220 but Pixmania are doing them for £139 + postage I went for one as it will do both 35mm and medium format.

not one of my best ones but I'll chance it
