Last year in the national park, some two kilometres from my house, we met an ornithologist. He is employed by the Government and his job is to take care of the birds and insects in this park. He needs to spot them, count them and map them. Several months a year he is daily at work in this national park. With his binoculars and his photocamera. He takes gorgeous pictures and is always willing to explain what he has spotted.
One day we asked him advice about binoculars. Wich one is the best to buy. He patiently explained and answered our questions. He let us look through his professional binoculars and camera. He asked whatfore we want to buy a binoculars and so on.
Well if you want to spot birds you are lucky this year! Do you know that an eagle has landed here in this park? It's very rare, normaly he would not fly over this area. But for some reason he landed here a couple of weeks ago. And because he has an abundacy of food here he decided to stay.
The friendly man explained everthing he knows about the bird and told us some tricks how we could recognize him and when it is the best time of the day you could spot him. We thanked the man and walked on.
Many days when we were walking in this park we have seen the eagle. Sometimes high in sky watching his hunting for food and sometimes when he was resting. Thanks to the good advice of the man we have bought a monocular and we are happy with it. We enjoy the beautiful and sometimes hidden secrets of nature.
Have a nice day, see you next time.
Until then: don't worry, be HAPPY!
