psquared Posted December 10, 2007 Share #2 Posted December 10, 2007 Doug, A really nicely controlled exposure. I wonder what the growth on his bill is. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telyt Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted December 10, 2007 Peter, there's some water on the bill and the bill also has a nail at the end (perfectly normal). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

psquared Posted December 11, 2007 Share #7 Posted December 11, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Glad to hear it's just water on the bill and not some tumor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_peter_m Posted December 11, 2007 Share #8 Posted December 11, 2007 Lucky you Nice one Doug, you sure caught this fellow nicely. We got quite a bunch of them in summer but they are not that easy to get close to..... maybe my two bird scares have something to do with that Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
