Do you struggle to get close to waders, can't afford the long lenses that everyone else carries around.

The good news is your problems are over. Purchase this revolutionary new camouflage outfit from the Notverywild Birdwatching Supplies, including violet ski jacket and white fluffy hat, and birds will flock to you.

Scientific testing shown below has proved beyond doubt that Avocet, Ruff and Black Winged Stilt find this combination irresistible!

Just think what you can do with the money saved from using a £10 18-55 instead of a 500mm f4. How you laugh at the poor s*d carrying that 300-800.

Stocks are limited, so send your cheque off immediately!!!

Love this (and yes, I'm aware of today's date)!

Assuming this isn't a demonstration of your Photoshop skills, where was this taken, Paul?

The rigorous scientific testing was carried out at Pensthorpe in Norfolk, which just happens to be where you are heading soon. So if you come back with any stunning wader shots questions may be asked

Amazing

It has to be the hat.

Pensthorpe is on my radar funnily enough, Paul.

Ironic then that I've just been out today testing my new Kenko 1.4x on my 100-400mm - I only bought it to be sure that I've got plenty reach for far-away waders!

I could've saved myself £130 and just got a taxi from Sheringham to Pensthorpe evey day!

In fact, come to think of it, I could've saved myself the £1K + my 100-400mm cost, and just used my 50mm jobbie!!

two years ago i used to sell material off the roll [fact] , we stocked camouflage [ d. p. m. material ] but it never sold well because we could never find it . invisiable thread never sold well either.

That aviary could certainly tempt you to the dark side! I'd got a very nice Bearded Tit about 10 feet away from me when I took this.

Not only do I intend to try it, but I'm suing Paul if it doesn't work!

Assuing he's not been beaten to a bloody pulp by Mrs Paul first..!

Sorry Paul!
PS perhaps you may use the same camo stuff to get you concealed in your dining room for a couple of weeks

I know this thread was posted as a joke, but it has got me wondering...

I wonder if anyone has gone over to the dark side and taken photos of birds in aviaries and then passed them off as wild? I wonder if any such photos are in the gallery here?

Which could lead to a real dilemma... what would you do if you knew someone was doing this?

Plenty of dodgy ducks have turned up in the gallery Peter. I once did what I thought was right and pulled someone up for this. I was soundly criticised in the gallery but got a 'thankyou' pm from one of the mods, so make what you wish of that.

Nowadays, I reckon lifes too short so if someone can't be bothered to read the gallery rules or wants to cheat to get a few 'nice shot' comments so what.

A totally different issue though is people who are looking to gain a commercial advantage. I've read the views of Andy Rouse and Steve Young among many others and they are most unhappy at what they say is a growing trend to pass off captive images as wild. From a book review I read they are not afraid to name and shame.
