Hi Nigel,

Great to have such a clear view of the Nightingale and in full song too :cool: The fresh green folliage makes a wonderful setting.

Yes youve got to be pleased with that one Nigel. :toast:
Go to Lesvos and they will sit out infront of you. Here its a different matter so you have either got to be dead lucky or play the waiting game. I take it this was Hertfordshire?
