Re: Bird of Prey

Thanks all.

This was the only decent shot I took that day. I had travelled all the way up there (140 miles each way) because there was a gundog parade there and I was asked if I cold take Jago up to represent the Clumber Spaniels.

The weather was sunshine one minute and downpours of rain next minute.

Enjoyed the day however.
