When you wrote yesterday 'these birds are not part of the waterfowl collection' I could sense your frustration. Today the truth is out: 'pests' it is!
How are you getting on with your scope, have you seen anything interesting through it yet?
Greetings from Madrid!
José Luis,
There is nothing worse than lugging a heavy tripod around. Mind you the one you had I think was the same as the one I use for work. I didn't think it was that heavy. The trouble with lighter tripods are they normaly struggle for stability in windy conditions. Have you thought about getting one of the scopac type carriers. If you went for the cheapest type, without a pocket it would make life so much easier for you. They give you the chance to use binoculars without having to put the scope down. I guess you wont read this until Monday so I hope you had a good day at Oare Marshes and got to see your target bird.
It is nice to know that you love Regent's Park as I to do. I am glad you look at my blog, it is a shame that it has been so quiet lately. The weather patterns have been against us most of the year, the park needs all the help it can to get birds to visit. I checked out your site it looks much more professional than mine. It is a shame that I can not read Spanish.
