It's always good when an animal is as clever as us. Perhaps you can get an ASBO on them

Brilliant loves the dog's expression. When did you get the Bigma? :wavey: :jump:

Just hope they don't breed and you eventually get hundreds of them at the windows...

Hello David.

Love this and the best smile I've had from a picture for a while.

Thanks folks for your comments. :wavey: It's worth putting up with their noise to see their antics now there are two. Apparently they breed in hollow tree trunks in the wild so perhaps one (or an artificial equivalent) will be provided. :wink: They are thousands of miles from the Amazon which is, so we are told, suffering from loss of habitat, it might be poetic justice that they can find a refuge here.

Maggie. I've had the 'Bigma' since just after I purchased my first Sigma SD 14 (I have two) in March 2007. I was inspired to go the Sigma route mainly by the photographs of this gentleman - a true artist IMHO.

the rest is history. I can't wait for the Sigma SD 15 to appear.
