Hi Everyone

Iv'e just stumbled on your website as we often do during our quiet periods surfing the net and generally relaxing. As a passionate 'birder' for around 20 years I thought I may find something of interest here so iv'e registered. Time will tell and we will see how it goes. Meanwhile I have a reply ready for one of your contributors when I'm allowed access.

By the way....under 'Cameras and Equipment' iv'e entered 'nothing but my notebook....' which is utter nonsense. I saw the word 'Camera' and obviously ignored 'Equipment' and replied from there. However, I do of course have an excellent telescope/eyepieces/tripod/binoculars all of which required a second mortgage on the principal....if you are going to do it then do it right!

Happy Birding

Pete.

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
