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.

A simply excellent illustrated short story Beryl. The photography is commendable......By the way Beryl I don't hand credit out all that lightly so this is certainly what I say it is, in my view anyway.
