    Thanks Delia. He is 11 at present, just loves his ticklists. We recently went to South Africa, and in a bookstore found a small notebook with all the birds names and a space to note where and what time you saw them. He loved it and was just trying to sort something out for UK birds.

Now it is time to upgrade our Binoculars, and am looking for recommendations, at the moment my son and I have 2 pairs of £5.99 jobs off the market. which means lumping the scope everywhere we go.
