Birdwatching and birdwatchers are odd.

In keeping with this observation I am building a hat that can be configured to almost any sort of landscape and conditions in which one might observe birds, rare and otherwise, in their natural habitat.

No longer the need to observe them from long distance. Years of painstaking research by our... researchers mean that you will attract them right onto your hat. A periscope, with 360 degree swivel means you can see any bird that lands.

NB Not to be used if you are looking for emus, ostriches, rheas or cassowaries.

A little like that, [cromagnon]. I was thinking of something that also allowed the wearer to see the bird... live. That sparrow looks as though it might be pining for the fjords.

Fevereshly searching for an incredibly cool sounding remark mentioning either a) Louise Lane or b) some other chick...No, don't have one.

they have a birdwatcher's hat (inferior to yours I might add) on last night.

Now it has a periscope.

I was expecting something on the lines of "a hat with built in binoculours + digital camera + autozoomer + bird recognition software + Wikipedia information retreiver. + google searcher"
