i went to meet @wev today at Yorba Regional Park, it was nice to meet another forum member, thanks for the guided tour mate. I took lots of pics and had a good 4 hour walk. Seen new birds also.

a wood duck and an Egyptian Goose, didnt know what it was at this stage, just seen something strange flying at me

Oh, jeez -- it's Obsessive Compulsive Photo Disorder! I didn't realize I was contagious!

Luckily, it is easily treated: just apply nikon liberally each day and all will be well.

Looks like he's looking to his right to me Roy!

Glad you had a good day with wev. It's nice to meet someone you've been chatting with for a while.

I meant right to the way he is facing in my pic, then he may have spotted the red squirrel.

i couldn't find any dragonflies that had landed so i had a go at one in flight, nearly.
