Hi wildlife snappers :)
Do any of you use vests and have you any comments or favourites, or do you use a camera bag?

Hi S,
I have a centon camera bag with plenty of room in It but not at all bulky, that I am happy to sling over my neck,my camera Is quite light and I don't carry any lenses at the moment.
Hi S.
I do use a Fotima bag but have to admit that this summer my camera spent most of the time tucked inside my waterproof. That with the bins I must look a real strange shape walking along.....

I've spent all my money on camera + lens so don't have a proper camera bag yet! I tend to wrap everything up in thick jumpers and put it in a big rucksack. If Mr aiki and I are driving straight to wherever we're birding, I might just put my bins plus camera + lens around my neck as we set off (as I'm not the one who does the driving!). Spare battery, lens cap, memory card etc go in a pocket or in the rucksack. I do like the look of some of those gilets though, and they also look useful for art materials if you're a sketcher.

It carrys everything I need for a day out . Scope Bins Cameras sarnies coffee Tripod tied to the outside still room for my wet weather gear too and my note books and bird guide ye hardly know its on yer back Just the very job caues all my travel is by bus to where im birding!. real good buy for £20
I also wear my Combat jacket Plenty room init and the pockets can easy hold a loaf of bread for the ducks and swans when I wanna get some close up shots of them. Darn handy jacket always warm and dry in that thing and have slept in it a few times too !!.

If its no fun Yer no doin it right!
Hi Seymours
I have a camera bag but one to fit the camera, and not any bigger. It is good for many reasons other the obvious one. If I am on my own with the camera it is good to hide the camera so it is close-by at times rather than have it around my neck all of the time.
We also have a designer bag for the scope to keep it dry, and clean. We bought it for about £55 pound from the Bird Fair this year.
We use a plain backpack for our tripod, scope and optics. The rucksack was bought especially for the optics - it was just the right size and at half price in a sale not bad going.
.......of course and the thermals for the bird hides ......need I say more!

Kathy and Dave
