However, even though he was such a Twithead.......... you illustrated the class up bringing of a fine gentleman and our own famous wildlife photographer! Even under the stupidity of this mindless moron you kept your cool and still came away with a "quality bird image everyone of us wish we had taken it!" However! We may not have kept our cool and verbally trashed the moron verbally. Then given him a couple of well placed whacks with his big "WHITE LENS!" :-) Good on you lad! cheers, Dr. ted
