Recommended Photo Equipment

The distance to the end of the drinking pool where most birds appear is 5.5 meter from the hide. All sort of lenses recommended but a 300 mm is the best. Also take a 500mm if possible, especially for small birds. Occasionally some species perch closer to the hide so a zoom lens can be useful too.
