a long long lens and a triport are a MUST

then dun forget the mozzy replients....

lastly, better be there early (free entry before 8am).... once the birdies caught their worms, they go take cover.... until the next meal

Go now. The warders are in. Stay at main hide. There are plovers, sandpipers and egrets on sunday.

Tried with a 420mm lens and still the birds are far away... sigh...

So moral of this story is: Long lens is definitely your friend!
