HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

[Jeni Williams]

Apologies for belated Christmas wishes to all. May 2009 bring happiness and peace and many good photo opportunities to all BPN Members.
Unfortunately lightning knocked out our computers and network connections on the 22nd Dec. Hopefully will be back online by the end of next week.

Used my daughter's laptop to process this image of the Bartailed Godwit - will improve it once we're back to normal!!

Happy New Year to you and yours, Jeni.

Your bird is very similar to our Common Snipe.

You did good on the laptop, I use one as my only computer & love it.

Thanks for your greeting and lovely photo.
