Oh Mick that is so sad about the Cygnet. ![]() Keep trying with the Bittern I'm sure it will show for you eventually. They do that to me, sometimes they are there and others times you've missed them by five minutes Grrr! I love the Smew despite it's awful name! We had a sort of competition on here to try and find another name for it. Can't remember what we went with now! ![]() Super photos
