Nah Oddesy, I had that long lens and still did not pull it off …sniff. You had a good opportunity and made very good use of it…well done, boet

My hubby and I was there between 16:00 and 18:00…maybe we should have arranged that all have yellow ribbons around our heads LOL
Only reason I know RJ was there, was that I joined a FB group today where I saw his pix and recognized him as one of the people that were on the motor bridge when we arrived.
We did not stay on this bridge too long (because the bird apparently moved on)…I however found it while looking from the footbridge…seriously cool sighting!!

Jumbo, a couple of forumites were there on Friday and the yellow ribbon might have worked. :lol:

While I was there, I saw WTM, DotDan and RJ and just missed Yolandé.

I keep a YR on my bino harness all the time. I added a red ribbon for the occasion on Saturday. I didn't see any other ribbons, and wasn't asked about mine. Perhaps I shall add another ribbon to my hat as well!

Hi Joshilewis...
We were at the Botanical Gardens from about 9 till 11. I also have a yellow ribbon on my binocular straps but it is a bit small!
I was with my son in law - who was pushing a push chair and my 3 year old grandaughter.

Any idea if the Wagtail is still there?

Noel,not the grey wagtail. I think rather one of my favourite singers, the Cape Robin.
