The Sub LV goes well with the green of the binoculars and telescope: might become de rigueur for the discerning birder....?

Great watch & spectacular binoculars. I have a pair of them too.

C.J. · 4 April 2006, 03:28 AM

Great specs.

I used them at work for a while, nothing else seems to compare

As far as the watch,

JJ Irani · 4 April 2006, 04:08 AM

Great pics, Nick...and beautiful watch!! But don't Swarovski make crystal items too?

Islander · 4 April 2006, 06:50 AM

Yes, different companies, but brothers... one makes the crystals, the other makes high end optics.

Just the optics suit my tastes, but I realise that both are market leaders in their field

Niiiiiiice.

Maybe you can get closer to the birds with the LV Nick. The green might not frighten them off. Nice Barbour jacket..............I have one in the boot of my car in case I need to change a tyre in the rain. I bought it in the 80's for my bike but they seem to have fallen out with bikers.

Apologies for the delay in reply: had to dash off to somewhere that a Barbour is not needed (but not in your direction

).

I like the Barbour range for ruggedness and the lack of noise they make... something that most people don't have to consider, but - as you know - a rustling arm at the decisive moment of firing the shutter is a good way to ruin a photo!

They're certainly not high tech, but are high quality... and still liked in pro farming and fishing communities

Next you'll be telling me you wear a flat cap.

Are you suggesting that I might be going a little thin on top?

I wouldn't know.....................I can't see that far up.

PS

I put a few more pics up on the bird forum. Very nice ones, if I do say so myself.

That's kind!

I'll have a look at bird forum - I'm sitting here working on one computer for work and this one on TRF... when I can tear myself away from work
