Enter 'realtree' on ebay and there's some good stuff available. Besides, the modern camo patterns don't intimidate the public as much as the traditional ones did, you can go into the bank without the security shutters flying down in your face ;)

I've had a look at realtree. The stuff seems quite inexpensive. I will go along this route. Thank you.

Depending what you’re shooting a hide or bag blind can be very usefully. When I photograph raptors I almost always have to do it from a bag blind or the birds won't come close.

Simon, thank you but, what is a bag blind?

check out http://www.michigannature.com/kwikcamo.html it's basically just camo material with some strategiacally placed holes and screens etc. It might be called a bag blind because it fold up into a small bag

Yep, same as I mentioned earlier in the thread, throw-over type that you can get from Kevin Keatley (or W/EX).
