Yes I have finally managed to get out with the camera and although can't post at the moment I have had a degree of sucess for me anyway.

Managed quite a nice shot of a European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) & a couple of others I've yet to identify so will post when I get back & re-learnt how to access flicker again if i can find the pass word. Heaps of fairy Wrens man their hard to get oh well will keep trying.
