Day Out to Martin Mere WWT 2nd October 2011
I had been looking for a new pair of binoculars and since I usually get my kit from the “In Focus” shop at Martin Mere WWT I asked them to let me know when they had a pair of Swarovski 8.5 x 42 ELs in stock so that I could have another try of them before taking the plunge – having tried them before but being in need of further certainty before lashing out on an expensive bit of kit. So we headed up there and spent about an hour trying them out and – eventually – buying them. I needed a quick cup of tea to recover from the spending so we headed off to the new cafe for a refresher before setting off around the site. As usual, we headed down to the Ron Barker hide first.
