Further to Rick’s email,

 

For those CoBirders who don’t yet know about how easy it is to “phone-scope” ..

 

There are actually great adaptors out there, many specifically for iPhones : 
basically a replacement case with a screw on  ring that will slip over your 
scope eyepiece – which are very easy to use. 

 

EG: Google  “ iPhone digiscoping adaptor “ and look for one specific to your 
scope eyepiece – bearing in mind that there is some crossover – eg I tried a 
Kowa one that fitted my Swarovski perfectly

 

Phone digiscoping is a great way to document unusual birds.. and help with any 
subsequent id discussion

 

Best rgds

Subject: [cobirds] Emergency Digiscoping ;-) Franklin's Gull, Marston Reservoir
Importance: High

 

I thought there might be some interest in this.  I was surprised to see a 
Franklin's Gull at Marston Reservior on Friday the 4th.  I didn't have my 
camera, so attempted to take a shot through my scope using my iPhone.  I was 
actually amazed with the result.
