Hi Brian
Nice shot - in past years I've seen these very near to where I live - haven't seen any this year will need to get out and look.

Thanks for the prompt.

Ray

Thanks Pete. Yea just missed the left hand edge. That was as far round to square on as I could get.

I've seen a few of these around here but they're getting quite worn and tatty now. Good shot Brian.
