Hi Paul, yes the Grebe was spotted late and as it was getting in for midnight I didn’t have time to fix it.

I put a link to the BMW sponsorship thing off Cold Front Cooper above, people can read about it there.

Maggie, looking at your photos I love them, Jim mentioned your shots always look so life like and I love the light you capture, particularly on the top one.
