The theme challenge for November 2006 is 'Digiscoped Birds'.
Brd Forum has always had a strong connection with digiscoping and there have been repeated calls for digiscoping to feature as a stand alone competition - which surprisingly we've never done. This is the month for it :t:
It's time to dust off your camera/scope combinations and submit your best efforts.
A reminder that digiscoping relates to taking photos through a birders telescope (spotting spotting scope) and includes devices where camera and scope are built as all-in-one devices.
Apologies are made to those members who don't digiscope but normally enter the monthly competitions. This may or may ot be a repeated theme depending on the interest shown.
