Hello from Lille , FRANCE (1 Viewer)

[Choc59]

Hi there !

I am 35yo and I live in the North of France. I have an interest for birds since I am a kid, and now I take things to the next level by taking some amateur birding courses with the GON (North of France nature conservation association) and NATAGORA (Belgian nature conservation association). I really really enjoy it , it feeds my brain to learn new things, and it makes me go on outdoors trips during the week-ends , with a bunch of cool people 🙂

Now I take my travel binos anytime I’m going on week end or to my friends in the countryside !

What else can I say?

I am more into visual observation, photography is not so much my thing;

And I will probably visit the forum mainly for questions about equipment (binos/spotting scope); and to learn more about birds in my area (identification, behavior, difference male/female).

I am currently taking my morning coffee on the patio, binos on the table, listening to the green woodpecker that lives in the town cemetery down the street.

Wish you all a nice Sunday !
Choc59

Bonjour Choc59. I'm new here too, so try to dive in and have fun chatting. I like to collect old binoculars and particularly French made binoculars. I have several Lemaire as well as Deraisme, Le Fils and others. I toured France at age 16 and loved in immensely. My favorite areas are St.Malo and Mont Saint-Michel. Enjoy the forum!
