A trip out today to pick up this superb print by Brian Small of the triptych of rare shrikes in Suffolk last autumn. There are a limited number still available. A great gift for yourself or the Suffolk birder in your life

My Swarovski STS 65 HD scope, with 20-60 zoom is available, although lens caps missing. Comes with stay-on case (front lost its lower clip). Tripod available. Know any local young birders who may like it? - free of charge @landguardbo.bsky.social @landguardbirder.bsky.social @david-walsh.bsky.social

TERRY HOLLAND R.I.P.  TERRY HOLLAND    1944 - 2025 Sad news this morning that Terry has passed away. Terry was a regular at LBO a couple of days a week in his retirement until this spring when declining health eventually curtailed his regular visits. He will be missed by all. R.I.P.
