MissYC, famous at last...

[Baph]

I'm sure a fair number have seen this already, but....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8079000/8079780.stm

Check out the photo, even with MissYC's name printed in the corner as credits. No, they didn't put "MissYC" - that would be stupid.

I personally, will spare a thought for the great male tit. :salut: All because of you Maria. :D

(Sorry, I couldn't resist that bit. hehe. Yes, it should be male great tit, but it sounds better the other way around - they should change it!!)

Lol, I only took the photo, nothing much to do with the project, apart from checking on nestboxes for the last 3 months. Turns out my lecturer has used that photo for all his publicity and it will be published as part of his paper when it comes out in the research journal :cool: Was a bit of a surprise!

Hey fame at last! :D

A friend of mine might have had something to do with writing the article too, she's doing an internship as a science & nature reporter with the Beeb at the moment. There's no name on the article though. <shrug>

[Tara]

[Kate Moss]

Anyway back on topic, I think your photos are better than your sketches. But thats just mearly my humble opinion,.

[missyburd]

Hmmm now I understand, can't say I was familiar with the phrase though :-P

Wow my drawing must be pretty crap then #sniff#

[dizzyblonde]

no, not at all silly moo!
I studied Art, theres nowt wrong with your drawings. However, you've more of a flare for photography than I ever had. I just do 'snaps'..lol

[missyburd]

:-P just winding you up hehe. Well I just do snaps too, not entirely sure what's so special about them. I have fast reflexes which helps when I'm trying to "capture the moment" but other than that #shrug#
