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.

Babs the film is brilliant and thanks for passing it on to me/us. I personally had missed this news feature and would most certainly never have known about this super hero and his Grey Heron.

Pete.

I only saw the tail end of it on the news. I just saw this heron chasing this man and wanted to find out more. Glad you all enjoyed it
