Information re Green's Windmill

This is really not my thing, but the group specified something five minutes from home and this is it. Constructive criticism will be received in the right spirit!

The gargoyles at Rufford Hall are being put to a very good use by the sparrows. I don't know if it's because the weather is so mild, but they're nest-building right in the mouths of the beasts.

I bought this D2Xs on eBay and got a real bargain. The only drawback is that I can't see through the viewfinder properly and don't know if the picture is in focus when I drop the shutter. So I'm shooting on blind faith, which is why I had no idea the ladybirds were there until I loaded the day's shooting on to the computer. (Oh, and the date's wrong, as well. It was taken on January 16th!)

With the weather continuing to be dull, grey and miserable, we have been occupying ourselves with trying to fing a great white egret which has been sighted at Hoveringham. After three fruitless journeys, I am beginning to feel like Cap'n Ahab ... and we all know how he ended up! So no more chasing GWE for me, give me a friendly robin any day.
