However, don't leave it too long before you start fulfilling your dreams. You're young but, believe-you-me, when you get to my age, the reduced ability to carry heavy weights also imposes its own severe limitations. Do it while you can!!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-62875319466201507262012-05-05T09:05:12.574+01:002012-05-05T09:05:12.574+01:00Richard (and Paul), thank you for the advice re. t...Richard (and Paul), thank you for the advice re. the hide.

There's no getting away from the fact that the male Mandarin is spectacular but, yes, the female is very beautiful too, in a more subtle kind of way.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-75430081993266992492012-05-03T12:27:55.238+01:002012-05-03T12:27:55.238+01:00Lovely pictures, the Mandarins are so lovely, the ...Lovely pictures, the Mandarins are so lovely, the male with his brilliant plumage and the female with her white eyeliner, handsome couple:)Linda Yarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804368844243909168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-75999669475050428032012-05-02T21:17:06.886+01:002012-05-02T21:17:06.886+01:00Thanks mate.

I have retro fitted mine some what with the opening of the front door to give a larger apature which makes viewing and photography easier.

It has all the comforts of home with an armchair, and a cup-holder in one of the arms, a large zipped opening at the front, and two zipped openenings on each side - all openings can be fully open or camo-net covered. It comes in a bag which can be carried as a light-weight back-pack. www.warehouseexpress.com have them for £79.99 - and they're worth every penny! However, if I was buying again, I would probably buy the two-man version for £20 extra in order to get the extra room inside (and this also has a rear window). Check them out. Won't get you any better images than with your home-made hide, but probably a lot more convenient - goes up in seconds. Biggest danger is falling asleep in it - which I've done on more than one occasion!!!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-80446119352277781142012-05-02T20:27:27.527+01:002012-05-02T20:27:27.527+01:00Superb LO shots Richard in beautiful light.
