OK! Hi there!
Bit behind with entries but you can follow where we have been on www.flickr.com/photos/colinbp & www.flickr.com/photos/paulabirds
Since last entry we went to London Zoo again-just Paula & I, not often on the train-great time had by both of us.
Also we went to Liberty's Rapture & reptiles which was excellent and can be found off the A31 a mile or so out of Ringwood, Dorset. We went on a friday so did not see anything fly but we had a hot day and a friendly and good day.
We've been to Marwell Zoo too(twice i think). The new walk through walaby and Kookaboro enclosure plus attatched lovebird cage was very photogenic this time.

We've also done two things with Rhys -one a trip to the seaside-mainly Oceanarium -at Bournemouth on a rainy day-we got parking -arriving at 11.15 on a Sunday(no chance if sunny!).
The turtles - "Cruiso" and "Friday" were magnificent!! as were the sharks, rays etc.

We also helped with the Shaw Trust Horticulture Plant Sale/Open Day and in order to raise funds to replace a delapidated bird table - i have great delight feeding seed to the sparrows families and other birds- we sold some framed 10" x 8" prints as seen on www.flickr.com/photos/colinbp and also some of Paulas' photos. Rhys was a great help with many suggestions and organisation skills...we hope to do more. Fun was had. Caught the sun too! (i was lucky as i left the polythenne cover in the garage.).

"Snaps!" team (i am a volunteer helping now only) celebrated the 10th Aniversary and were filmed and have displays at Kingsclere library and central Basingstoke library.

We hope to see the Champions League Final-hopefully action packed and excitingly good football once again!

Birdworld visit too planned...so until next time!
Bye for Now
Colin & Paula (citypool)
