You may well have noticed that a lot of my posts are from Besthorpe I really like the place it's generally quite people wise the odd walker and even a bird watcher now and then 
it's around 12 miles from home and once your past the killer roundabout on the bypass it's an easy drive
It sees little interest from many bird watchers there's a bigger reserve a few miles away so I mostly get this place all to myself this year I intend to spend more time there and perhaps keep a record of my sightings, other than in my head
So it seems I'm becoming a bird watcher I've always carried my bins or camera but now I'm a fully blown sit down break out the flask and see what turns up kind of guy
Last year I bought a new scope Hawke 16-48x68 Endurance ED it's very good and last week I bought the matching bins Hawke Frontier 8x42 ED X there so bright and sharp quite amazing
Only had them out in the wild once so far and looking forward to getting out more if the weather ever lets up
