Does anybody else feel this recurring sense of confusion? Deflating ecological Déjà vu - Passing landowners working through their autumn ‘job-list’, and in one sweep of a hedge trimmer, blitzing thousands of small red energy rich lifelines for wildlife, into nothing - I despair.

Last summer, the kind and exceedingly knowledgeable team at @vikingoptical kitted us out with some of their optics on our Icelandic seabird expedition. We took the Swallow ED 80mm Scope (With trusty phone adapter) and the Osprey ED 8x42 binoculars with us (1/3).

In life and its pursuits, it often takes some convincing for people to get behind your mission and the things you are trying to achieve. It turns out that the team at @vikingoptical were the first people to put their trust in us. And for that alone we are so grateful (3/3).

We made a film about each piece of kit. You can watch both films that we made for Viking over on our YT channel. In short, they enhanced our expedition, allowing us to zero in on colour ringed Puffins, spot Gyrfalcons and scan through the auks in Iceland’s seabird cities (2/3).

Standing, watching and appreciating, what a time to be alive.
