You thought I didn't influence you to start your own thread but you are mistaken. It was subliminal.

I think it's a great idea to start one's own thread if they post a lot of pictures. It's much easier to keep track of and the chance of the thread being hijacked is less.

Nice shots btw and I look forward to more.

That was a different swan there Yvonne, I was a couple of meters away from it and it's mate, just zoomed in onto it's head. through the lens it looked as if it was watching me and thinking ' what are you doing human? watchya self'

another one from last night, a swamp hen of the rail family, in New Zealand they are called pukeko.

My Niece sent me this I'm including the email as it explains it This is extremely rare so I wanted to share it!

[quote email] very eventful day around here... A once in many lifetimes experience!
Mark saw this lil' feller run out in front of a car, thought it was a lost baby goat. Stopped to get it, and WOW. A real Albino Whitetail Deer. Just hours old, but doing fine. No Momma deer around. Another car nearly hit it in front of Mark...
Well,, he is THE neatest thing any of us ever saw. And such a 'freak of nature', that only 1 in more than a million are even born. He took his bottle of food, followed us around the house, doing great. So, we called the Zoo & Fossil Rim, who were both interested, but we're going to send him to a Rehab farm. Maybe he will make it in captivity somewhere and be appreciated. So rare... Sure wanted to keep him tho. but, not the thing to do. And not LEGAL either ; But, here are a couple of pix to show ya. He was snow white, pink eyes, ears, nose and hooves. Kids called him POWDER. He was SO small. That is my shoe lying beside him... WOW..how cool is that??[/quote]
