| You have just spent several hundred pounds on your bird and wildlife watching kit, the least you can do is protect it. A good bag or carrying case is invaluable, not only to guard against the inevitable knocks and bumps in travelling to your next wildlife location but also while your equipment is in use. |
| Optical equipment needs good care to give the best performance. Looking after your kit will also reap dividends on resale value when trading up again. |
 |
The best advice is try before you buy. Take your camera kit along to your local camera shop and try different bags and camera cases. The best ones also have various accessories available and spare shoulder pads etc are very useful. |
