    What a beautiful shot. My wife's favourite bird. Ours have a more russet under-belly in south of England. I was thinking of going to a Canon 350D to try to do similar shots, do you think that I would be better to go to your digiscope way? Have you experience of the Canon?:)

    Hi Mitcom, how do you find your Canon 350D using the EOS lenses? I have a Canon EOS 50e with the same lens but I want to go digital now. I thought I might buy a body only and use my lenses and flashlight. Is this a good move? Regards, colpurps. :)
