Birding with 12s: Swarovski NL Pure 12×42

10,000 Birds

I tested the 12s at my usual stomping grounds where I am used to local species and landscape, at their usual distances from the observer, so I could immediately spot a different experience. But, before I share my (very subjective) impressions with you, let me introduce the NL 12×42.

Why I Question Animal Testing 2.2

Critter News

If they are "only" animals, if they are beasts which abstract not, then my comparison is a piece of sentimental foolishness.

10,000 Quails’ reply: Ah yes indeed Swampy, this is another issue where I am able to call on personal experience to help you. But I must agree that your nest-building efforts do look a little paltry by comparison. Can you help please? 10,000 Quails’ reply; Is this her picture?

Hybrid Teals

10,000 Birds

In my experience, Cinnamon Teal x Common or Green-winged Teal hybrids are the rarest; I have seen pictures of only 2 such birds and a 3rd bird (the one mentioned above) in life. Even so, hybrids not identifiable after comparison with the images presented here might involve one (or two) of these other teals.
