'ERR 99'....



Yesterday was not a good day!...it was sunny and warm, reaching a high of 14°C...in fact it was  a proper spring day...but it was not a good day!




I went to Verulamium Park and Lake in St. Albans, the main reason for going was to take pictures of the Grey Herons that nest on the small island in the middle of the lake. Unfortunately  as I got to the perfect position for taking photographs my camera decided that it didn't want to play anymore and, after massively over exposing a few shots,  it decided to cry enough and popped up an ERR 99 message on the LCD screen!...So that was it...Game Over!!


A few images taken before the camera died...


This Black-Headed Gull looked like it was trying to make a noise but when it opened it's mouth nothing came out!


What Ice?

A Coot - not fighting for a change!

A Grey Heron delivering nest material.



Tomorrow  I'm taking the camera to the 'fix it man' to see what the prognosis is, hopefully he'll say a couple of quid should fix it!! (I can hope can't I?)

The good news is that Keith, (he's a wonderful chap) while he's away in Wales, has offered to lend me his spare camera until mine is sorted. Thanks Mate..[;o))
