Peter Jones, "Hampshire Diary"

• Saturday, August 8, 2009 - Final Madeiran shots, and "The show must go on"!

I did have the option of going out yesterday evening and/or this morning but the weather is so barmy I figured it would be a lost cause. Have downloaded a final couple of shots from Madeira. The Waxbill unfortunately gave very limited photo opportunity, and for the one shot I had, the auto-focus looks to have hit the reeds instead of the bird, leaving no options to zoom in any further with the crop. A real smart bird if a little "soft". The Wall Lizards were everywhere on the Island!
