Yesterday evening I got home from the second Swarovski Skills Camp at Lake Neusiedl in the east of Austria. I am still tired from the long drive, but it was great to play with the very best toys for birders, to be able to share experiences and to ask the factory staff all sorts of silly questions. impressive for Central Europe.

And then at the 2017 launch in Austria there were to be heard Ooooh’s! It is my opinion from personal experience that there is really no point in buying the BTX without the extender. A couple of months before its actual release, Swarovski announced something big coming our way. Nobody was prepared for what that something was.

Yesterday was a public holiday in Austria and we had decided to take a drive out to Lake Constance / Bodensee to see what we could turn up – given that migration season has just started to kick in and we had had a dramatic turn of weather (fresh snows), we had high hopes for something spectacular turning up.

A little over a month ago I was hiking up a mountain path outside of Innsbruck, Austria, with birders from around the world. Perhaps on a lakewatch while ducks flew past and you hoped for a Long-tailed Jaeger ? This revelation brings us back to when Dale was done with his presentation on that mountainside in Austria.
