The Floating Bird Hide by MrJanGear offers a unique perspective when photographing water birds or other wildlife that may happen to pass by. This one on offer has been in the water only 4 times and is only 18 months old. I'm afraid at 82 years of age I was a bit ambitious when making this purchase. The experience in the water among the water birds is exceptional but because most of the time the photographer spends lengthy periods on the knees it is more suitable for someone 10-15 years younger For detailed information on the operation of these floating hides see the US nature photographer John Gerlach experiences https://www.gerlachnaturephoto.com/single-post/2019/06/14/bird-photography-in-floating-blinds and "Become Invisible inside a Floating Blind" By John Gerlach This email address is being protected from spambots.
