One against the odds
I thought it was about time I posted another of my bird pictures. This was taken just after mid-day, not a good time for photography but the bird was there and so was I and I did not want to miss the opportunity. It's a blue-cheeked bee-eater.

Unlike Frans, I am proud as punch to be hijacking again!!! And it feels right and proper to be hijacking one of your fine threads, Adrian.

Falling off the wagon is LIBERATING!!!!

Hey Adrian,

Great to have you here and what a fine picture that is.

Wonder how many tossers it takes to hijack a bee-eater bird thread?

I am honoured to become a Master Hijacker - one of a select few that can completely dismember a perfectly good thread in...ohhhh...maybe two posts?!?

Thank you, Sir Frans. You are a consummate gentleman hijacker yourself, my friend!
