he didn't take a mate with him. Look what happened to Trafalgar Square! Mars will never be habitable by humans if the pigeons get there first!

I like the bandana :D

I thought "Skua Bob" was just a hip'n'trendy name, didn't realise Skuas were actual birds :P

Is it possible for any creature to be worse than pigeons?

# Aah...
...but they could be preparing an invasion force at this very moment?

Now that'd make an interesting movie. "Skua Attacks!"

# i don't think
it has to be that great.

It is just taped to some binoculars after all.

I've never been able to get decent pictures out of my digicam when pointed through a set of binoculars.

Mines just a shite Fuji Finepix A202. Really must get a new one.

# aah
but have you tried selotape?

i "attached" (read balanced) binoculars on a tripod with the lens of the camera taped on, zoomed in, then set the auto-focus off and twiddled the binocular knobs till it looked ok on the screen.

pressing the button without wibbling was quite tricky though..

# I'll admit
I've not tried sellotape.

I've not even got a tripod. Woe is me :(

# Strewth! How many layers of sellotape

Oh ... I see ... sorry. Woo!
