This happened to me earlier this week on my trip up to Scotlandshire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOu3KgTLi9c&feature=youtu.be It's been suggested that the second bird that can be seen to the left in the final slowed down section of the video is some sort of hawk that was chasing the pigeon. Are there any twitchers here that can recognise what this is?
Whatever it is, I need a new screen now. The screen I lost to the pigeon was a nice MRA Vario flip up screen but I'm thinking of replacing it with just a flip up to the original screen (once I've dug it out of the loft). Has anyone experience of using this and how would it compare with the MRA Vario? TBH the Vario was much better than the standard screen but I still had quite a bit of blast to my head with it as I'm quite tall (6'3") and I'm thinking of going for the even taller maxi vario screen if not the basic flip up extension.
Thanks for any advice,
Gareth
