There are only 6 people in the group.

Primarily a birding tour to try to see all 84 endemics with endemic subspecies, and many migrants. Also the perfect holiday for anyone interested in rare plants. I have been visiting Taiwan for 23 years studying mainly palms, bananas, trees and ferns. And I also speak Chinese.

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II wasn’t launched until the end of that year so I didn’t have this dilemma at the time.

You may be surprised that I only have the one, as most nature photographers will usually say they have 2 or 3 quality tripods. I have no idea why they do, maybe they collect them!
