Thankfully my 100-500 lens is a small fraction of the size and weight of the monster in the video, and I can manage to lug the whole lot around now problem, plus, crucially to me, if I need to suddenly capture a bird flying overhead, I won’t have a monopod dangling awkwardly.
Perhaps if
My numbers come in I’ll suddenly find myself in the market.

I must source a beanbag for use in hides.

Tree pipit. Light was bad so quality not great.

I think this is a swallow from the bars on it's tail.

Very acrobatic and on the hunt !

Nice on Mike, one of my favourite birds. When I hear them singing it takes me back to summers of the past, very evocative,
