What photographic equipment should you bring?

What lens?

We're often asked if a guest should bring a large lens, and all we can say to this question is "You'll be kicking yourself if you don't".
The photographic opportunities offered on any of our Birding Packages are brilliant. With low levels of pollution, high levels of light, stunning landscapes, excellent species and being a peaceful, easy-going and safe country, Portugal is a Wildlife Photographer's dream, and being photographers ourselves, we can appreciate your special needs and wishes.

You should bring the best equipment you have and make the most of every opportunity. Remember battery chargers, adaptors, extra cards and tripods.

Just make sure that you carry any of your fragile equipment as hand luggage, and check weight and size allowances of the latter carefully before leaving home or arriving at the airport.

This might help to give you an idea - the picture below is what I took with me last time I went birding abroad.

Of course it's not a "must bring list" for you, but it might help you not to forget that essential piece of kit ...
