Portable Shelter/Windbreak for birdwatching?

[darwin]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any suitable windbreaks or shelter fit for birdwatching. It has to be relatively light and portable for taking onto the fells etc.

The best one I have found is this Cambridge Shelter


Best price I have found inc. postage is £15

What about camo netting you can find that quite cheap these days & you could carry it in a bag might be an option to consider

I`ve used similar shelters for fishing and theyre fiddly to set up,so only really useful if youre going to be sitting in one spot for quite a while. I`d either go with Deerboy`s suggestion or look at one of the pop-up shelters which are less hassle, and allow you more mobility as theyre a lot quicker to setup and take down.

Thanks for the idea Mark, quite a few lightweight pop up tents about and one on EBAY, might just have a pop at that.

Many thanks
