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.

Default Contemplation

Saw this man many years ago sat under the waterfall (Thornton Force) at Ingleton, North Yorkshire when I was 'really' doing photography. I titled it 'Contemplation'.

I highly recommend this walk and if anyone ever ventures into the North of England I can't tell you how delighted I would be to escort you round this wonderful and exciting 5 mile circuit.....just let me know!

Sorry......it goes out the bottom/top of your screen if you expand it.

Pete.

Picture's fine Pete, I use quite large resolution on my monitors.

Like it a lot, haven't been up North for a year and a half now, but due up later this year.

Very good photo Pete. A few years ago we rented a caravan for a week at Ingleton, we had a fabulous week. Not into photography then. One day we decided to walk up Ingleborough, right near the top it got very windy and a bit shaley under foot I was glad to get to the top.........when I did I saw people walking towards me in high heels, they had just parked on the roadside and walked to the edge.
