Apologies if this is the wrong place for this sort of post, perhaps a kind 'admin' person can move it to the right place!!!
With the onset of winter, as a relatively new 'birder', I really want to get out as much as I can this winter, but I dont really have any suitable 'gear', namely jacket and boots.
Last February, I went to Elmley Marshes in Sheppey unsuitably dressed, and nearly died of exposure!!
I want to spend up to say £250 on a good jacket and up to £100 on a pair of boots, it sounds extravagant, probably is, but it seems to me worth going the extra mile to not freeze my cods off!!
Can anyone recommend makes/models/distributors of boots/jackets that they have had success and would recommend to others?
I would be much obliged!!
Regards.
Paul
