Thanks Simon. Im glad you enjoyed it. I do put a lot of work and time into trying to make a good talk. I personally enjoy talks with good stories and a bit of humour and of course good photographs and good birds too. The next talk next year for Bolton RSPB will be Florida. A Winter wonderland. After that im working on Raptor migration in Southern Spain. Lesvos in april. A Californian pelagic And Texas fallout on High island. Lots to go at and of course we cant forget about british birding. I do love ospreys though and sorry but as you know Florida has lots of Ospreys too

Agree, some outstanding photo's on show by Dennis and a big well done on your first talk pal, which went really well. Next time can we have a few less Osprey photos though please
Cheers for the praise JT. it's much appreciated. i know you know how much effort you need to put in get good pictures. From one piccy photographer to another. thanks.
Out of interest this is from another trip to Gambia so most of the photos are now updated Except the originals i really liked. Another 10000 pics i had to go through from this trip to find the gems plus the £500 Goliath Heron pic. The most expensive shot ive ever taken. im not just lying in ditches here. I actually sank in the swamp. Damn. you gotta work really hard for good pictures
