I hope Africa turns out to be all you want it to be and you do get to chill out a bit - you sound as if you need a good break and get away. That will get you all geared up for Tanzania and all those photo's!
I hope you can ID those attackers and they actually are prosecuted and punished and that it hasn't it knocked your confidence too much. Thank goodness someone came to help you, there are good people around though some times it's hard to believe.

Hi and thanks for the congrats!
Its good to see you around again -you have been missed!
I am in the middle of packing, we have been in Cumbria for the last 17 day and have had a great holiday, tomorrow we are off home for a rest, I am exhausted .
We went to Hay Bridge - not that we saw the honey buzzards you mentioned ages ago.It was really nice though and we will be returning in the future.
Also we went on a Bat walk and talk at Roudsea wood with The Woodman (WAB, what a lovely man, i had never met him before) which was excellent, I knew nothing of bats really so learned lots - it took all my strength not to photograph everything, couldn't of frightened them away or I might have been linched! Another great place if you haven't been yet - you need a permit though.
Apart from that there was plenty of walking and thankfully good weather.
I am waiting now to see how my piccies have turned out.
Take care and see you around - great moth shots by the way .

Great to see you back Black, I was wondering where you'd got to!

Hi!haven't heard from you for a very long time!

thank you.

thanks.it was taken with one of those special cameras you hide in bushes.it's in south america.

Good Luck from me as well!
I am always in awe of people who can give presentations like this and I know they will all be in for a treat with your experiences and photos.

Good luck for tomorrow - you should knock them out with your photo's!

Have you given your talk and slide show yet?
