It's an adapter that in theory allows you to take a photo with a smart phone camera through a spotting scope

How are the bushes looking today? Devastation here on Rum with many trees down and blocked tracks. One caravan taken out by a tree, thankfully no one inside. A couple of dodgy trees propped up in danger of toppling on buildings

Interesting. Hope it survives the winter storms. Perhaps the shell can be removed for the winter?
