And also to check forks in the trees for crow's nests but I haven't seen any this year. Previously a pair of crows always had a nest in one of these maples, but the neighbours have had two of their nesting trees cut down in succession so perhaps the crows have given up. They do have a nest in the oak tree behind us but it's not visible from the ground.
[Update: I finally spotted that nest while up on the roof - see post on 25 August]
I'm using this pair of 10x70 binoculars made during World War 2. The beh code identifies them as made by Leitz (famous for their Leica cameras) and 'Dienstglas' means they were for official service use. With a postwar coat of black paint and replacement leather they're no longer a military collectible but they're still excellent quality binoculars.
