  • I caved last night and ordered myself a birthday present for next week in the form of a scope. Will be my first scope and I had been putting it off as already carry a camera and bins normally but I struggle to id small waders at distance too often now and having the Purple Heron at my regular spot last week brought in lots of birders and I got to see a bunch of scopes and realised some fairly compact ones exist, so I should be able to add one to my bag at the expense of a couple of lenses I always have in there for just in case and never use lol. There are a couple of good spots near by as well which are working gravel pits and get a lot of waders but access is so far away it's a real struggle with bins, especially at the moment with water levels so low so will add some variety to where I can visit.
