R and I met the Family B at Croome this morning, to effect a transfer of the Boy Wonder, who’s staying with his Ageds overnight again. Having a much shorter and more predictable journey than the Welsh contingent we arrived … Continued

I broke the 100-400 zoom back out of storage today, and went off to Stratford to see if I could get some flight shots of Migrant Hawkers. The sunshine came and went, and so did the hawkers – I know … Continued
