Looks good enough for a visit to Lidl for me Jouke.

That's looks like a great deal. I've been using something similar for the last few years and find it great. Cost me €60-70 though. :cry:
IMHO, sitting down in a comfortable position makes a massive difference while observing.

That looks similar to what I use also, which started life as an ironing chair.
This looks pretty useful for this purpose and is much cheaper then what I payed also. :?

This looks like another thumbs-up for Lidl :D
Now, will the Lidl marketing agent who is frequenting these boards, please step forward? :lol:

We have a very similar chair to this at home, which was also a Lidl purchase. Personally I would recommend NOT going for this, especially if it's a similar model, and it certainly appears to be. The seat is very small (or I have a large arse!) and you end up percehd quite precariously on it. That's fine for the ironing, but becomes very uncomfortable very quickly out of doors. I don't use it at all (not even for the ironing!)
