Hi Marie (and B-A in general), Regarding Birding-Aus members donating bins, I wonder if it'd be an idea to get some donations together and buy a job lot of cheaper bins. I got a few pairs for 15 pounds each from an online shop in UK which have done me very well and are quite tough. However, beforehand, I'd contact the Sri Lankan embassy to make sure that the bins aren't going to be confiscated. Another possibility would be that using pooled monetary donations, it might be possible to bargain with a supplier for a better price for a larger number of pairs. It may also be worth writing a trip report about birding with with the locals for a magazine such as wingspan - if the suppier of the bins is told in advance, they might even chuck a few pairs extra in if there's going to be good publicity. Cheers, Tony |
