Oh well, back to the Redshanks and Lapwings. <br /><br />I'm sure I could also spend an hour or two in that barn looking over the cars and signage.<br /><br />Miriam looks quite at home with that antique model.

The birding you had was wonderful - most exciting for me would have been the American Bittern and the Green Heron. The hospitality you were shown was without parallel - the gift of those wine glasses was fabulous, and it must be quite a dilemma as to whether to use them, or just display them. Ross's car and automobilia collection must be one of the finest in North America.<br /><br />All in all, a most enjoyable post.<br /><br />My love to you AND Miriam ;-} - - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-36337905524926450852017-08-15T15:34:58.402-04:002017-08-15T15:34:58.402-04:00Stunning photos the in flight ones are amazing and...Stunning photos the in flight ones are amazing and the heron's 'hairdo' is wonderful.
