We are pleased to announce that from September 1st, Leica Camera UK will donate £5 to BirdLife International for every rare bird photograph that we post here on the UK Stop Press Page. All serious birders know that the quality of Leica's binoculars and telescopes are unsurpassed and, through Leica's commitment towards environmental campaigns, we are proud to be able to bring you new rarity photos every few days on this page. Please check back regularly. |
