Shock!! Horror!! Has Bill Oddie deserted Leica as he is wearing Swarovskis now in Autumn Watch?

What time is bird?
There was talk of this last Springwatch when on one of the last issues he pulled out some ELs. Seems he's not gone back to the Leica fold in the meantime!

I was wondering about that too. Not knowing Leica too well I was wondering is there open-bridge Leica out?
Swaros do seem to be popular though. The recent series on Unknown Africa the presenter was using Swaro ELs though a lot of the time she just had a hold of them without the strap around her neck which seemed rather dicey when descending a very steep muddy slope. I think some SLCs appeared a little later in that one too.
Bill also has new glasses (now with frames!) and an even more +ve prescription which does not look good under TV lights (as they converge the light behind the eyes).
So which ones was he using in the hide? Swaro EL 8x32?
