Spending the weekend in Friesland. I must pack warm clothes as well as waterproofs by the look of the forecast. 15C maximum on Sunday and raining. Delightful. Nothing so bleak as the Wadden coast in the rain .

The top one the FA* 250-600 f/5.6 would go perfectly together with a DA*60-250 f/4 don't you think?

The reading glasses seem odd too, but I will get used to them.
I have also ordered a pair of sunglasses too, since the sun is shining and I'm now supposed to wear glasses for driving.
Current lousy weather has my arthritis playing up too.
Getting old is a pain

I do like cormorants though - one of my favourite birds. They look so pre-historic.
We saw lots of Pelagic Cormorants in the US last year. Just sitting chilling on any buoy or rock they could find, and in a huge "rookery" off shore together with Murres (guillemots) and tufted puffins.
The Great Black Cormorant - the one in the UK is known as a Black Shag in New Zealand.

Off to buy a lottery ticket, and then win enough so I can also employ someone to carry it for me .

I'll wait for the price drop! June 2011 and save up in the meanwhile.
Lacking a Mum to sell that will have to be the solution.

That is the Greater Spotted Booby, and they usually travel in pairs. Sometimes they mistake the common Shag as one of their own, and attempt to mate with them. The Shag, of course, will have nothing to do with Boobies, and will fly off. Just goes to show, a fine pair of Boobies doesn't guarantee a Shag.
