I've not managed to get a shot of one in this position but would love to!<br /><br />Also, do you think their numbers will increase and good numbers of them start using the posts up near the bridge again?<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />BenBen Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684753305450000748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-43420074514842028172016-08-29T01:52:49.881+01:002016-08-29T01:52:49.881+01:00Well at least it seems he isn't trying to teac...Well at least it seems he isn't trying to teach the next generation to do it.
