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.

Just so you don't think I'm ignoring this Babs I have no idea what it is other than a close up of an animals mouth complete with teeth......your/somebodys dog?......a weak guess.

Edited to say Beryl beat me to the dog guess by one minute.

I was going to guess at Alpaca, but I guess the Camel takes it.
