Why oh WHY does it always happen...

...when I don't have my camera with me!

Yesterday took a trip up to the shops and came back via the burn path and what do I see, a buzzard, and he sat nicely about 6 metres away from me!  Couldn't believe it, he even opened his wings a couple of times posing nicely before flying off to a different tree!  They always do that to me!

I think I'll get myself a little pocket camera that I can keep with me all the time!

  • I had a similar experience but with a Red Kite and when I came home my son looked at me in amazement and asked why I had not used my camera on my mobile phone! To my generation a phone is for speaking to folks with!!!!

    Did YOU have a mobile with a camera KatTai?

    Yes I do, but it isn't great, not one of those fancy camera phones, like you my phone is for phone calls not photos lol

  • Hi KatTai

    I know it's no consolation but I do it all the time - I see so many things and think "Oh I wish I had the camera" that it's become a sort of mantra with me on a daily basis!   I haven't seen a buzzard ever so I can completely empathise with you on that one.

  • Hi

    I always make sure I have my mobile with me. It takes a decent enough picture @ 5mp and can be zoomed.
    Means you never miss an opportunity - never had an opportunity yet but I will be ready when I do
    Its ok for men who don't have to carry a bulging handbag, a shopper and goodness knows what else to have a camera strapped to their waist. Oh no what have I said I can hear the groans of discontent now !!!

    Of all creatures, man is the most detestable, he is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain.

    Haha I don't think my phones camera even registers on the mp scale lol  It's alright if you're REALLY close but no good for anything over a couple of feet away.
