Thanks Ralph I am to some extent lucky to have a couple of pairs on a regular walk and pretty much know where these will be most of the time I have spent hours just watching these which helps with understanding how close I can get and what they are likely to do. As for how close I can get that is not very close so I can live with that the pay off is worth it for me
