Did you see that lady in the woods off of Pebbelstone?

Either way congrats on a great shot and a first sighting!

Tim - I did walk through the woods off Pebblestone, but it was very quiet.  I saw this one at Lambton Woods.

Moira ... that first photo completely and totally blows me away!  I love your second "wild" photo as well!
