Well, this morning came an AWESOME surprise!
Jo had bought me a 55-200mm VR DX Nikon lens!!!!
I've been after one of these for a little while now, so hopefully I should be able to get a lot better and closer shots to the wildlife in our gardens!
Here's one of the first shots I took (through a window!)
I shall have fun with this - I've already thought of loads of ideas!
:D

I am so jealous!! I desperately want a decent camera, just can't afford it right now. Looking forward to seeing you pics Stig, oh, and have a great birthday.
Happy Birthday! We will be looking forward to all those great pictures you will be taking.
How is the battle of the mole, going?

Thanks all!
Yes it's a great lens! I hope to take more photos, but at least I have it for when I want or need it!
:D
My Birthday isn't until the 16th Feb, so a little while yet.
More mole updates coming your way...
...I've stepped the campaign up a notch, and some people won't like how I'll be attacking when my new traps come.
Keep an eye out though - this is my last form of attack before I call out the mole man!
:D
Very nice picture, you're very lucky. I've always loved taking photo's but have only ever had crappy cameras. Happy Birthday!
Me too Lyn, the camera was a present for myself after a Great-Aunt died - I thought I'd get something that would last.
HOPEFULLY I'll be able to take some half decent photos with my kit!
:D
A belated Happy Birthday, Stiggy! No better gift than a new lens. I look forward to the photo shoots you envision.
My long lens was not working yesterday, and Don saw a little lever at the end that goes into the camera that was jammed, and he fixed it. And that felt like my birthday too! :D
Thanks Ruth - as I said on his blog - is there nothing he can't turn his hand to?!?
:D
It's not my Birthday until the 16th Feb.
:D
you are going to have such a great time with this lens!
I hope you had as much fun on your birthday as the bowling party!
