Watch the programme every week and have their calendar's each year, I buy 10, well no more. This month’s picture a bird that looks like a man, is I find repulsive, might have looked good on a Black Sabbath LP cover but not my kitchen, do not want to look at it one more day. I find the choice of some photos last few years not so good. Just who is choosing these pictures. Spoken to others who say they wont be buying again,

Can you post a photo?

It’s a heron with its wings extended isn’t it? Very unusual photo I agree, but worthy of its place in the calendar.

A bird that looks like a man? I'm going to have to look this up.

I had to look it up. It’s a stunning photo, and certainly doesn’t look like a man to me.

There's an open competition for the calendar photos, which is judged by John Craven and two others. Then the public choose their favourite for the front cover. The heron photo is amazing but I'm wouldn't want it on my wall either. It's quite macabre.

Oops, forgot to turn the page yesterday. It is right next to my desk, not sure I want to look now.

They are still advertising them for sale so can't have sold so well this time.
