Wonderful place. One day we were sitting on the balcony and howlers showed up in the tree beside us.

Hi David,

Look deep into my lens - very steady hands indeed and a great capture!

Dare we ask what happened next? (Hopefully one of you ducked... ).

Went on a chilly hike in the woods today. Spent about an hour and a half looking for anything to shoot, but nothing, just very quiet (also quite nice). Then suddenly a Eurasian goshawk swoops down in front of me and nails either a thrush or bulbul...hard to tell. Had the shutter speed set low (low light under the trees), so the action is blurred, but a little excitement for the hike.

Hi David,

Looks like you were there at just the right moment.

We've probably all had to deal with irresistible itches at some point (ours usually involve buying expensive gadgets... ).
