What do you do if you see a VERY rare bird that is a LONG WAY from where you are, you don't want to disturb it, all photos you've made are blurred, it is hot, windy + you just CANNOT get a good shot?! No witnesses but you HAVE to get some convincing evidence.Well, try the video program of your digital camera + put in front of your telescope eyepiece!

Lovely bird! Brilliant capture!
Certainly a juv. Isabelline Shrike. Opinions differ on the subspecies. It stayed in Geneva for at least 48 hrs in Early October.

Great video. I’m a birder from the U.S.A., what species was it?
Very cool, thanks for posting.
C’est cool pour tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de la voir… Venant du Valais, je n’ai pas fait le déplacement
