Hello Richard

28-300 mm telephoto but taken at about 100mm at f5.6 from a distance of about 5m focusing on the eyes.

Yup Codprawn, how could any one...?

Keith (not really a softie) Hart

Spooted a porpoise in the Thames off Gravesend last week !

I always thought it was a sign that any such mammal was sick , injured or lost , but apparantly not . The Zoological Society is keen to record any such sightings in the Thames.

see....
