    Looking to get some camo netting for a spot of wildlife photography in my local woods(while I was up shooting some bluebells I spotted a Pine marten) so I'm digging out the 100-400 and want to blend in. So any recommedations you might have. I don't want to place a pop up hide there as it private property and I'm kinda sneaking in there.
    So any advice please?

    Army Bargins, Little Mary Street have an online presence. https://www.military1st.ie/camping-survival?brand=439
    I've never used them so I can't vouch for their reliability. Also, look up ghillie suits just for ****s and giggles. :)

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I got one on Amazon for gbp 16. Nice, lightweight so easy to carry. Link below but it shows out of stock.

    Edit: another option is a bag hide (I have never used one myself though)

    AB are to surplus as Maplin were to electronics. You can do a lot better.

    Purchased a poncho in Amazon last year to keep rain off me and camera gear. Link:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mil-Tec-Poncho-Ripstop-A-TACS-FG/dp/B00ELEBFGY/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Mil-Tec+Ripstop+Poncho&qid=1588872891&sr=8-1

    Colour : Colour: MIL-TACS FG
    Current price is £22.99 sterling

    Have used the poncho once to photograph the kingfisher and it seemed to work as I managed to get some shots within 7 meters before he heard the shutter noise and departed at high speed. The camera was on a tripod and not really covered but once restrictions are over I plan to use again.
    One issue I can think of is how hot it might get during the summer months using this method but still worth a try. Amazon feedback seems to cover the whole range of ponchos all I can say is happy with the one I purchased and its rain proof.

    Just pulled the trigger on this....with a cover for the camera and lense and some scrim netting....see how that works out.....cheers New Wave
