Not always the best thing to do but then I was young and my 27/6p camera was all I had to take pictures. Mind you dad did take the first one but when you think of the old 120 film, it really is so different today. The other shots where taken from South Stack, North Wales and they are little in terms of birding. But at the amazing age of 12 years I was already up for birding especially as I was on holiday. I can remember being up at 6am in the morning looking for Linnet and Goldfinch as well as Stonechat. The glimpse of a Raven and the sound of a very rare bird in those day a Peregrine. But then I was young and although it seems along while ago, yet it seems like yesterday. Someone said to me yesterday, "Im glad Im running out and not in. With the state of the world. My response was "well we made it that way."
