What is"bird porn"?
Well, I reckon its just nice image of birds. Really nice images of birds. In fact, it doesn't really have to be birds if you look down my blog. I started at birds, but it's widened to mammals too. So, really nice images of birds AND mammals then. There, sorted.

OK Steve I will ask the dumb question. How and why does one digiscope with a mirror?
ReplyDeleteWell, Murray - it's all about light. The mirror was places underneath a feeder, which then bounced sun light on the underside of the hummer. This method added around two stops of light!
ReplyDeleteAnd there I was wondering which end of the telescope you were sticking a mirror on and why. D'oh!
