I've just put about 80 new photographs on the Abberton website 
http://www.abberton.org/birds2008.htm - up to date to the end of August at last!

There are a few cuckoos there, some Plumheaded Finches, well a big range of 
stuff really.

I took a sequence of photos of this action, and you can see those along with a 
few other September pics in the "holding area" at 
http://www.abberton.org/holding.htm - so, I was up to date at the beginning of 
this email, and now I'm already behind again!

I guess I'd better just get used to it, it isn't going to change!

By the way, a single Freckled Duck has been at Lake Apex at Gatton for a couple 
of weeks. I caught up with it in the late afternoon a couple of days ago, but 
the poor light made it impossible to get a decent photograph. I'll try again in 
the next few days.
