Awesome shot mate. I bet Andy Rouse would love a shot like this. Love how you have got the whole wing pin sharp - well done.

Thanks once again for the kind words everyone, cheers :toast:

Doing well Mr Snape, we'll be heading down to north Norfolk later in the year for Snow and Lapland Bunts and your more than welcome to join us, in fact I insist that you do, I'll e-mail you nearer the time.

Racey, I'm quite sure Andy Rouse has better Turnstone shots than this :wink: speak soon.

Lee, the small matter of a 300 mile round trip was nothing when compared to your infernal mobile going off every two minutes on the way down, I was so pleased to finally find a place where you have no network coverage :biggrin:
