Thanks Linda. I got about 20 shots of him and he still did not mind me at all.

Excellent shots - Pete they're common throughout Cheshire and probably in north Wales as well.

Cracking shots Brian. The detail and colours are fantastic.

It's great when you find a 'poseur' such as this.

Excellent. I haven't seen any Ruddys this year. I got a couple of shots last year but they were difficult to approach and these blow them away.
