Great, inspiring work Phil. Some of the best portrait photography on the Island IMO. Yes, some great portraits, and a great collection all round. love the rubber bands.

I recently joined the very friendly forum of the simon king wildlife website where they advocate photobucket. I found it very easy to use, and the SK site tells you how to use it. The photobucket site also leads you to post on facebook and other common outlets, but obviously I am too refined to exhibit to the hoi polloi. http://www.simonkingwildlife.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=604 I have seen choughs on the island, but not managed a decent photo. has anyone here achieved my goal?

have just had a mini festival, saw a new one with Hilary Swank, Freedom Writers, based on a true story about a schoolteacher and her american gangland pupils. Unusually I could find no faults or areas of improvement, it was better than I expected and almost had me in tears!! Every teacher and teenager should watch it. then because we were at pictures, saw Hot Fuzz, a mystery police thriller filmed near my home in Wells. Full of P taking with gratuitous gore and blockbuster parodies, it was a lot of fun. then because she had a hard week at work we saw Music and Lyrics, a bit sickly and suitable for a 12 yr old girl or hugh grant fan; even your granny would prefer a bit more grit in the plot. The trailers for Mr Bean on holiday had me laughing, and the Marvel film character flame rider with a flaming skeletal motorbike rider looked great. I foresee TT riders with flaming meths on their backs doing wheelies along the prom. Let me know if you're game and I'll film it!
