Couple of us are going up to Blaenavon tomorrow morning to photograph Red Grouse if anyone is interested in meeting. Meeting at half 6 in the fox hunters car park, and will be there all morning.

No. Managed to convince the missus to come up with me, but when we got up there, there was 4 or 5 camper vans parked up making a racket as they were getting up so didn't get to see much. Could definitely hear the grouse over the left side of the road, but I didn't take my walking gear and portable hide. Ended up taking a stroll around Newport Wetlands. Planning on doing another trip soon if anyone is interested in meeting. I can always pick people up on my way from Cardiff.

Yes, ended up with a D7100 from Cameraland in Cardiff, plus spare battery. Starting to get the menus etc sorted now, a bit different from the D5100.
