Marvellous shots Alan!

The robin and lazy days for me, but the pheasant and church windows are also great shots.

Hope you get back to strength in good time and can enjoy going out taking such wonderful shots again.

Thanks for the well wishes folks, theres nothing like a bit of good news to lift a "broken heart" and this certainly was.
I'm on the mend already and hope to be fit enough for the Thorpe Perrow meet later this month so fingers crossed.

I think I got the Robin and the Pheasant on the same day, the Robin wasn't really in the fog, it just looked that way I think theres a Blackbird in my portfolio that I got the same day too, its amazing how a bit of snow on a dull day can bounce enough light around for a Bigma.
I snapped the Lazy Days shot in Durham on the way home from Northumbria where I got the window.
