All lovely but 2 wins for me.

Lucky you. The sound of the spitfire is wonderful.

Since I wrote we have had a few very hot days. Two cabbage whites and I think a red admiral spotted.

Still no sign of the Parakeets

In my part of Surrey (Woking) we have very few bees this year (and thankfully no wasps). Not seen any butterflies yet. I have been turning parts of our garden into wild-flower havens, so hopefully they will return.

The mention above of Starlings is interesting as we have seen them in the garden in large numbers, for the first time since we moved here 16 years ago.

Our family of ring-necked Parakeets seem to have left for pastures new however. A shame as I enjoyed the colour they brought to the garden.

Welcome.

OK so with no film in the camera you cannot move the advance lever or fire the shutter.

Is the little square to the left of the shutter button showing red ?

Is the shutter lock in the unlock position ?

I suggest you try and release the shutter using the self timer and see if that frees things up.

Nice set. It is fun going back in time with a film camera. Now did you glance at the back of the camera after taking a picture ?

I am none the wiser I am afraid.

Maybe it needs a clean ?

Rio and Ripley had to get involved in the Jubilee festivities.....
