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.

Nine 'spot on' pics Rolf.

Don't want to keep repeating myself, but another excellent montage of the Shoveler with such a treat to view in this format.

Pete.
