Thank you Gustav. You are doing full-time job in the tent, no wonder you need lots of food. You can even make a small kitchenette to cook food considering the time you spend inside, also, some kind of sofa to rest a bit. You must get tired sitting on the stool all the time. I guess washroom is not a problem, ey?   
Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in my mind.

I wish you even more success in capturing images of the beautiful bird.

I mean things like disguise, set-up for the bird to stand on and all the other little tricks you do to get that outstanding picture. One thing puzzles me. You said that you need food inside of your tent because you spend a lot of time inside. How long do you stay on average?
