No bino's but a Smashing Time.

Above a Lizard Buzzard stands his ground whilst being harrased by a brave Piapiac

and below a Shikra hiding in the tree tops.

The day didn't start of well i had made a journey to the Lamin rice fields in The Gambia and i had forgot my binoculars, but for me that sort of thing is normal i forget alot of things.  What made matters worst was! while i was a Kotu bridge the previous day i had dropped my Nikon D5000 camera and smashed that. I was now down to my D60 for both digiscoping and photography and for today bino's aswell. But then a morning trip gaining 34 lifers! soon made me smile and reminded me how thankful i was to be having this experiance in life.
