So much for Great Tits - are well the best laid plans.

So the plan this morning was to try and capture some small bird portraits for the ARPS submission.  I knew just the spot in Calke Abbey  and so I set out with the best of intentions.   However, whilst I captured some interesting small bird portraits these were not the photographs that made the day.  No, instead it was the cowslips and great spotted woodpecker, hardly a small bird.  This is what happens when you go out into the real world rather than working in a studio.  You just have to go with the flow - long may that last.
 
One final thought about the title of this post.   Where I used to work they had a rather brutal filter system to internet surfing.  One morning I was looking up a web site about stolen working digs, a very legitimate search.  However this was blocked by filter as the site contained a banded word.  And the word was 'bitch'.  It is hard to see how a web site about stolen female working dogs could not use the word bitch.  In everything context matters.

But 'bitch' takes me to my languagw hobby. Did you know that it is the Scandinavian word for girl? - Danish pige. Perhaps the immigrant Danes and Vikings did not think much of their women-folk. -- Christopher
