He‘s gorgeous, congratulation on the addition and good to see he is already appearing in your photos.
They‘re all spaniels right? Are they all the same variant of spaniel? If so it‘s amazing how different they all look.
They are all Cocker Spaniels. Ripley in the middle is the only pure "Show" Cocker Spaniel. Little Rudy on the left is a cross between a Show Cocker father and a "Working" Cocker mother. Rio on the right is is interesting. He is larger than most Cocker Spaniels and has straighter hair. We had him DNA analysed to satisfy our curiosity, and it turns out that six generations ago something else is in the mix. They were not able to say for sure, but a 65% probability that it is German Pincer.

I remember the "rose tinted" view from my own childhood of such resorts, and the disappointment on re-visiting as an adult.
I like the way you have used vibrant colour which evoked my long distant memories, and the sea-gull's feast is an excellent and humorous shot.

I also think the screwdrive conversion does not work with the 60-250, which is a shame.
What do you intend to use the lens for ? Even when working normally the SDM AF is not very quick, and probably unsuitable for sports action or moving wildlife. If you are going to use it for still subjects I would suggest saving your £420, and use the VF in manual focus mode or the LV in AF.
Out of interest, in VF mode do you get the focus confirmation .....green hexagon/beep ?
