Title: female Daurian Redstart
Post by Neil on Mar 19^th, 2006, 4:41pm

Digiscoped over on Lamma Island this morning in less than ideal light. Using my new Benro Ballhead and Manfrotto Micro focusing balance bar. I hadn't see the Redstart in these woodlands before . Interestingly , I used to see the Blue Whistling Thrush here every day but I haven't seen it for 3 days.

Stunning! How long are you usually in the hide?

Ken,
On weekends I don't get so much free time so only about 2 hours. During the week between 3-7 hours. As Guy was in the hide this morning and it was a bit small for the two of us (also too much movement with two lenses moving around ) I just sat in the woods in a small clearing with some camoflage material over my head and my scope/tripod covered.
