You really must come to the Farnes one year. For a place where you can trip over the nesting birds, I have never seen so many oversized [and camouflaged 8-)] lenses in my life. People must have been standing in the surf on the opposite side of some islands to manage closest focus distances. I had to intervene to stop a couple of Puffins trying to feed Katy. Not to mention the guy using burst mode on nest sitting cormorants. Closet PDMLer. > > 2008/7/2 Tim Øsleby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I'm pretty sure the boat driver was not a photographer.
