    Two days for birding

    i've just contacted giannis, these were his thoughts. though he wont be to easy to find as he's there now up in the mountains. He should visit Evros Delta, Dadia Forest and maybe the area between Lake Vistonis Lake Ismaris. Around 2000 Dalmatian and White Pelekans were at Porto Lagos the...

    Sea watch bins?

    if you really wanted bins rather than a scope for sea watching then i'd go for something like the celestron sky master 25 x 100. which are designed to be used from a tripod, not hand held. but a scope is more versatile magnification wise
