[Leica] IMG: More Birds

[Douglas Barry]

You've a great selection of visitors, Jim. I'll have to think of putting 
up the feeder myself. I have a nesting box and a feeder lying in the 
garage for a number of years, and every time I drag out a ladder with a 
view to putting them up, the wife gives out and tells me I'll kill myself.
