Hi
folks, I'm back!(no pun intended!!)
I've not
posted for the best part of a month due to various reasons, not least a 'back
problem' that just appeared for no good reason ,which in turn aggravated an old
work related shoulder injury and together they made it very painful to sit at
the computer for more than a couple of minutes at a time, in fact the only
comfortable place was laying flat out on the floor!!
I'm glad
to say that after about ten days, of doing a good job at doing nothing, the
back and shoulder slowly got back to
normal ( or as good as they for an old
wrinkly, I guess!!). the rest of the time has been taken up with catching up on
all the jobs that I didn't manage to get around to whilst laying about on the
floor!
So, many
apologies for not being able to leave
any comments on all of your wonderful blogs, however I did manage to keep
reasonably up to date with reading most of them, and as always a grand job is
being done by all of you.
I did
manage to get out and about on a couple of days (good back days!) and take a
few 'snaps'.
So by
way of easing myself back into Blogland here are a few old and new portraits.

Grace, I take it that the eye opperation was a success and it's all about making a good recovery now?
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and I'll check on how the posting went later!

Glad your back Trevor and glad you have a better back.
Lovely head shots.
Thank you Roy...[;o)
Glad to see you back Trevor, it's awfully difficult to avoid that word :-)
Back and neck pain can be agony and sitting at the computer definitely doesn't help.
Lovely photos. Those Mandarin Ducks really are very striking, I've never seen on in my area at all.
Thanks Jan.
Very photogenic those Mandarins, even if the male does look like he's been put together by committee!!...[;o)
You're a poor old codger, I am terribly sorry for you anyway. You did find a time to go out and snapped off those birds, brilliant photos.
Hi Trevor it's great to see you back (not meant as a pun either) your images are fantastic.. and can we expect more video clips?
Take care of yourself.
Cracking set of portraits to come back with Trevor.

I was looking over your blog came to the second picture of this outstanding Mandarin duck. Have never seen one before, breathtaking.
Take care of that back and shoulder, nothing more painful than a back issue.
Hi Tammy, Yeh it's a stunning bird closely related to the North American Wood Duck. Brought to Britain from Eastern Asia by private collectors in the early 20th century, it promply escaped and now we have a breeding population of around 7000 birds. can be difficult to locate though as they are very secretive...[;o)
Thanks, my back is okay for now...fingers crossed!!
