Wow, wonderful picture. They must be considering you as one of them already. But please tell us more. If it is 15 in. away, how you can take this photo, you switched lens or added a close-up ring in a hurry.

Amazing shot! You can see the individual salt crystals glistening on its bill.

Wow, truly great shot of the "Lammaite of the Day" (in the Blog later this week).

Who thought that a Lammaite has to be a human animal? It could be any Lamma animal, even a pet or somebody like Old Nog who has his/her private portrait photographer shooting him/her from any angle over a long time!

Wow, Old Nog is truly a beautiful, majestic bird!
I love the textures, colours and patterns of the feathers!

How big? Seen in YSW harbour?

So, when do we get to see Egg Nog?

Another nice shot - the wings are in fine condition.

A bit of background on the name "Old Nog" - the character was invented by Henry Williamson in his lyrical nature novel Tarka the Otter set in the "Country of the two rivers" alleged to refer to the River Torridge near Bideford in Devon. Today you can see twee little houses in North Devon with names like Old Nog Cottage. The opening chapter or Tarka the Otter begins with the famous first lines:

Twilight over meadow and water, the eve-star shining above the hill, and old Nog the heron crying kra-a-ark!..

If you type "old Nog the heron" into google, though, there are 16,500 results, and guess who is at #1?!
