Twitchers, Ornithologists & Feathered Friend Fanciers #5

Hello, and welcome to the fifth edition of "Twitchers, Ornithologists & Feathered Friend Fanciers".

As usual the previous issues of this illustrious thread are located below.

Do any of you go on regular bird-watching trips? If so, what do you normally take along with you? I understand that you'd need binoculars and a flask of tea, but are there any other bird-watching "essentials" that you just cannot do without?

Nice sighting ttfn, Buzzards are pretty big Birds as well. It's a great hobby Birdwatching no matter which Season as each has its merits. Summer is probably the nicest as you can have a Picnic whilst watching the Birds.

Better still, red, just wander out the back door with a glass of something and enjoy the many birds in the country. We were able to see the remarkable plumage, wonderful markings. Last year I was able to train one of the resident robins to feed on meal worms from my hand - magical. In the end he would stand in my palm and take his time to eat his fill. I thank the lord for the patience with which I was blessed.

So nice ttfn ! How some people can be cruel to our feathered friends is beyond me, life would be so much poorer without our wildlife and beautiful Countryside.
