Thank you Andy. I did see one of these throw overs used by someone watching beavers. It was on a Bill Oddy programme. I wasn't thinking of sticking one up in the middle of a foot path LOL, I normally dissappear into little used areas of Sherwood Forest. Even so sometimes someone with a dog comes looking for me, or passing by at anyrate. What do you think about camerflage clothing?

What may be a better idea is one of the throw-over type hides, so you just sit on a little stool with tripod in front of you but covered by camo, with an aperture for your lens to go through (bit restrictive for visibility though).. this wouldn't give an air of permanance about it.
cheers,
