I just thought I would share this with everyone. I've been trying for a while to get ' that ' shot of a kingfisher on a local river, but the banks and river bed are mainly rocks and large gravel, making being able to drive a decent perch into it and withstand the river flow difficult. I went about making something more portable. At first I just filled an old paint bucket with cement and put my perch in it to set, it was ok but I was stuck with the same perch. I then got another old paint bucket, filled it cement and pushed 3ft or so of 1 1/4" diameter plastic tube down into it to hold just about any perch I was going to use, but I hadn't accounted for the cement being pushed up inside the tube that stopped the perch too high and made it unsteady,so third time lucky, my third and last paint bucket, filled with cement and this time I taped the end of a pipe over stopping the cement going up the tube...BINGO! I now have any perch I want in any position I want.
