To be clear, while most of the photos on this site are mine - bad photos and bad sketches alike - I also regularly use creative commons searches on sites like Flickr for additional illustration. Once I've done that I always put a credit with a link to the Flickr page or photographer's home page when I know it. In this case I've clearly cut a corner, or forgotten, or deleted it by mistake. I am extremely sorry, and extremely happy to correct that mistake with a full credit for a wonderful photograph. <br /><br />By the way, your site looks great, and those 2011 firecrest pictures are as good as I have seen.Hornethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200289825262917992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9542389.post-35904945111312675872015-11-01T15:03:25.896+00:002015-11-01T15:03:25.896+00:00You have used my photograph without permission! &#...You have used my photograph without permission!

I'm usually a couple of days out of sync, so no - not working on a Sunday!<br /><br />I do feel bad about any readers who may still be bothering with me though - I haven't exactly been consistent over the years. Started out birding, went full on for fishing, now back in a real birding mode. I suspect only anglers who love nature - such as your good self - are still even slightly interested! But I'm sure I'll be back fishing on the Leam soon enough - I love that river in all its aspects.

It's a nice reserve that however the gliding club want to operate motorised gliders from there to accompany their mechanical winch.
