Counting down now . . . .

**rolf** · 19-04-2008, 11:07 PM

. . . . . for the trip to France, I have an orchard full of birds, Linnets, Black Redstarts, Yellowhammers, Whitethroats and others waiting for me, plus perhaps I'll get some decent audio this time with my new shotgun microphone and Remembird-x.

Ordered a pistol grip microphone handle and a new bird guide of Europe and Uk for my Ipaq as well.

Now all I need is some good weather.

Ahhhh. Big excitement . A nice break
I'll keep my fingers crossed for nice weather and lots of photos

**rolf** · 19-04-2008, 11:26 PM

Yes, looking forward to testing out the new equipment as well.

***Chocky*** · 19-04-2008, 11:29 PM

You will need some exercise too

***Chocky*** · 19-04-2008, 11:36 PM

And I was THINKING
If the weather permits you can take your cossy and do some sunbathing.

**rolf** · 19-04-2008, 11:47 PM

Yeah right.

***Chocky*** · 19-04-2008, 11:55 PM

You have to remember not to leave any equipment behind.
We can expect some nice bird song. You sound like you have some serious stuff

**rolf** · 20-04-2008, 12:07 AM

No problem with that, I have my high-tech corner and remove everything from it when I go.

***Chocky*** · 20-04-2008, 12:25 AM

Just don't forget you card reader this time.

I'll hold the fort whilst you drive the train to France

Well I've got two of them now and another couple of spare leads.

They won't let me drive the train, I asked, but they were being unreasonable.

I still can't believe I thought it was a road. Probably due to the roads through the mountains in Italy. That is what I visualized as I have never been through the channel tunnel

Bet you can't wait rolf it sounds fantastic can't wait to see your pictures

**rolf** · 21-04-2008, 11:14 PM

I'm just hoping the weather holds out Babs, looking forward to trying my new Remembird-x, microphone and pistol grip as well.

***Chocky*** · 21-04-2008, 11:25 PM

Looks good Rolf.
We can expect to hear some French bird songs then
