I could argue that: a) With a webcam you are merely transforming a form of electro-magnetic radiation into another and then back again, so it should count b) Even with the best optics you actually only get 9x% of the light coming through, so it can't be a "full" tick as you haven't had the full experience but I won't!

If you're looking at a bird through binoculars/scope, you are technically still seeing light rays from the actual bird as all the lenses do is bend the light. If you're watching a webcam, you're not seeing light from the actual bird. How's that for a technical argument ;) Cheers John Graff =============================== www.birding-aus.org birding-aus.blogspot.comTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: =============================== |
