This was a relatively small cloud of them that was moving around outside the hide, and I just had to wait until they got into the right position for the sun and a focus object. In the hide they didn't give us any trouble at all. If you stood outside there'd be a cloud of them descend on you within a couple of minutes.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-86178295181377865442013-08-03T10:35:36.609+01:002013-08-03T10:35:36.609+01:00Thanks Linda
