Seems like we are getting some of these guys sticking around the last couple years. I was very happy to get a few shots of a couple (first time photos).

I've been too busy lately to post comments let alone pictures but I see that a few of you are keeping the forum alive. grin Too many to comment on individually so great job everyone!

I did manage to get these shots a few weeks ago but never had the time to post so here they are.

Comments appreciated,
