    Have you looked at the last photo in "blobby Godwits"? A bit windy yesterday evening for taking photos with the digiscope but better than nothing :) - light aircraft scared them off around 18.30, don't know if they came back again.

    Must pick your brains about digiscoping?

    What kit do you use?

    Its an AG60 scope (x25) with a little 8M camera. It's a bit prone to camera shake and scope shake in the wind. The chiffchaff was maybe 15 ft from me on a bright still day; further away I use the digital zoom, wait for the wind to drop and hold my breath :)
