Post by: denis on February 20, 2010, 12:39:27 PM

the PW was out and about yesterday morning,and john,graham,and I,had fun watching him,for quite a while.again the lighting was poor,but managed a few shots with my new canon 7-d.fumbled a lot with the controls(guess i should read the manual) LOL. but it will come in time. no RBW,and no pintail.guess we cant all have a " MOIRA" day! LOL also a nice mallard hybrid frontal shot.
