Swarovski NL Pure – the Sexiest Binoculars Ever

10,000 Birds

Not having any cooperative birds in the garden at the moment, I opted to follow a train of ants. Next time I will try my local patch of Beljarica backwaters in Belgrade and check how much different the NL experience is. So I watched an unknown duck now, quite bright, clearly a male.

10,000 Birds

Redgannet was originally conceived as a way to encourage my colleagues (in case you haven’t read the profile, I work as a flight attendant for an international airline) out of the shops and their hotel rooms to experience something that the local natural scene has to offer.

Birding in the UK after twenty two years

10,000 Birds

From Manchester we took a train east to the closest train station to my parents’ home and over those three hours we watched eagerly from the train window for any British birds! Our first birding experiences with UK ducks after so long was frustrating when they all seemed to be tail up! Tufted Duck.
