As I spend(ok, not at the moment) most of my time out on the hill or on one of the farms and have done so for most of my life, I am never far from a pair of binoculars. I do not pretend to be an expert, but I do and have seen many interesting British birds. I have no problem in admiring an interesting bird or animal whilst also being a keen hunting(UK definition, with horse and hounds), shooting and fishing man.
