      Taken at a local hide!

      These first 20,000 posts flew by so quickly. Thanks to everyone for making ODP a wonderful community, and to everyone who takes the time to view my images and comment on them.

      Thanks for all your contributions not only photographically, but also from a technical point too Morkel........

      It takes a lot of time and effort to reach that number, and you have done so with great selflessness.......

      Well done and thank you.........
