  your birds are always ever so lovely-- next year I will start to work on birds, but now I haven't a camera that can take such pictures.

you have to come visit me sometime-- yesterday, there were a pair of white-tailed eagles circling above me, and then some snow-white long-tailed tits in underbrush--and the list is ever so long. You must come visit me and bring your camera and I will take you to look for beautiful birds. And you can photograph my friend the woodpecker. there are 10different woodpeckers in Prague. really, if you want to come here-- I will take you for walks to look for the pheasant and partridge and introduce you to the albino mallard.
