No idea how you could make a tripod out of string - would be a challenge wouldn't it :)

Yes torch=flashlight in American so just handy to see in dark with or look down holes, etc. LOL

Surprised with all the birdie photographers about no one has got bird seed/food in their bag ? No honey for insects ? Water spray for that fresh dew look on flowers ?

Someone besides me must cheat surely ?

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
