Great Photo! I can hear him sing: C'est à boire, à boire, à boire. C'est à boire qu'il me faut!...which translates: "I'm thirsty. Come on. Give me a drink!"

There were so many opportunities Cherie. So I photographed a lot of birds!

I was. It has a tea room, restaurant and Hammam. We spent a pleasant hour or so drinking sweet mint tea and pastries

Aww now that's a wonderful thought Claudia!

You should do Mono Weekly with a shot like that. Ubiquitous spadger.

As almost every second comment one can read in the so-called blogosphere is a superlative such as Excellent! - Oh my, that is absolutely gorgeous. - Amazing. - Stunning!! - Gosh, that's soooo cute! etc. etc., it's not easy to praise f.e. a photograph that is really extraordinary / special.
:)
So what can I say / write to make a difference?
Oh well, what about this one?
Certainly not the worst picture you took so far, Jams. Chapeau!

I've certainly taken far worse Sean!

Alas it is a swarm of infidel birds
in the drink. No doubt the birds were
under the influence of Ayn Rand and must be stopped.

Did you see Hitchcock's The Birds?

Thanks Hans

Haha Beakerkin. THey were going to bore humans to death then?

Indeed Ren. Mercifully they were just after titbits and not to peck our eyes out!
