My apologies for my absence recently and not participating in the daily life here. I have been seriously ill throughout January 2019 and although now out of hospital I am on a long convalescence.

I started with an Halina full frame 35mm film camera when I was 12 years old, and over the years have used a variety of gear, but now, aged 70, I have reduced the load and use a LUMIX G9 mirrorless 4/3rds camera and Olympus lenses, and a Nikon D500 + 200-500 lens for winter birding.
