Competition

[Calculon]

As promised I've dug out a couple of things out for a comp for a bit of fun.

First up a Collins Gem Birds book, these are great little books, small enough to fit in a pocket. I've always got mine in my rucksack. This one is brand new & unused but as I already have one someone can have it.

Second, a nice little Opinel No6, fits nicely in a pocket. It has a beech handle, locking ring & a carbon steel blade. Again new & unused, I have two No6s so away it goes,

The first person to guess which elusive bird I've been watching this week wins both.

Please, to give everyone a chance no 'multiple' guesses in one post

I'm not really sure of the legalities regarding the knife, so to avoid me falling foul of admin & the law you must be at least 18 years old to enter & by entering you are stating that you are 18 years or over & resident in the UK.

Cheers
