New Camera

Recent photographs especially in poor light (eg. early morning or late afternoon) highlighted the inadequacies of our Digital Camera, so we've lashed out and purchased a Lumix FZ200 Digital Bridge Camera.

We're still getting used to it but here's a bit of a preview of some images we've taken recently whilst having a play. More to come..............

Wedge-Tail Soaring

....and again

......and once again
