Leicestershire & Behond

 In a couple of weeks Dave, Andy and myself will be on our way to our anual pilgrimage to the Shetland Isles, so I thought I'd post a few images from a few local places around Leicestershire and beyond before we go. On Satuardays, along with our other mate John, we go to different non-league football grounds around the country, with a bit of birding before hand. Talking of John - I've just bought a 100/400 Canon lense from him, so I'm looking forward to using it up on Shetland
