Birding Tag

Photographers probably already know about Lowepro, who produce a large range of quality camera bags. Well, they have now also added an optics range of bags designed for those who mostly use binoculars or spotting scopes and I recently got the chance to test their Field Station, a belt-pack designed to give you a hands-free and comfortable way to carry your binoculars and other birding gear.

Am I really hidden, is hiding actually really the point, isn’t that fox / badger / bird looking right at me? These are questions I’ve asked myself for years. I recently spent a few hours in a hide that my friend had erected in a busy rookery. Now rooks, being members of the crow family, are in the top set when it comes to bird brains; amongst the very smartest and after hundreds of years of persecution, they are extremely wary too.

Nikon optics are some of the best in the world. Fact. The quality of Nikon’s photographic lenses is well known and appreciated by many Warehouse Express customers, but looking further afield, their sports optics are equally adored by many, from their microscopes to their ophthalmic lenses and, of course, their binoculars.

Spring has sprung and if you’re twitching to get out into the sunshine and go birdwatching but need to first update your gear, then Warehouse Express have got some fantastic deals with you in mind.
