Re: Cottesmore RIAT 2001 - large post
Very nice Paul. Was nice to have RIAT at Cottesmore, very convenient living in South Lincolnshire. As you say Malcolm always enjoyed his time at arrivals taking and dishing out the banter. Sad to think that Pete, Nick and Malcolm no longer with us.

Re: Great Spotted Woodpecker
Lovely shots. How did you get so close? We are lucky that we have them visit our garden daily and have had a male and female together.They are very flighty though and soon retreat if you get too near
