A Birdwatcher’s Paradise at Lake Narach
Lake Narach and its surrounding national park are a true haven for birds. Over 230 species have been recorded here, with around 185 nesting in the area. In spring and summer, the region becomes a natural symphony: larks sing overhead, starlings chatter in the trees, and deep in the reeds, the elusive bittern calls with a sound like someone blowing across a bottle.
On the lake itself, you might spot coots, great crested grebes, mallards, mute swans, goldeneyes, gulls, and even the rare smew—only about 15–25 pairs nest in all of Belarus! Above the wetlands, cranes and marsh harriers soar, while the forests echo with the tapping of woodpeckers and the songs of tits, chaffinches, and thrushes.
Lake Narach isn’t just a scenic retreat—it’s a vibrant home for countless winged residents. Bring your binoculars and a bit of patience, and you might just catch a glimpse of something extraordinary.
Mountain hunting in 🇿🇦 South Africa?
A target at 500, 600, 700 meters and even further?
Yes!
If these are the green hills of the Eastern Cape province and hunting wild pigs.
👍 A very interesting hunting format - tracking from afar, and then sneaking up on the mountains and, if possible, a long-range shot.
1️⃣ First, traditionally drive up by car, 2️⃣ then climb higher, find a comfortable position and 3️⃣ binoculars neighboring hills. Telescopes were very useful. Now is the most active time - the rut of wild pigs. No need for bait, ambush near water - this is unnecessary now. All the action is in the mountains and a patient hunter will not miss it!
👉 It is worth noting that the trophies of foothill pigs are excellent: the size is impressive, the weight is under 80-90 kg - this is not a warthog (!), but almost a bushpig. The fangs are also decent.
The number of trophies for a 5-day tour is from several to several dozen. Depends on desire and possibilities.

Honest Review of the LEICA GEOVID PRO 10×32 Binocular-Rangefinder: A Hunter's Perspective
As an avid hunter who has spent countless hours in the field pursuing various game, including wolves, I can confidently say that the LEICA GEOVID PRO 10×32 is a game-changer. This device combines the functionality of high-quality binoculars with a precise rangefinder and an integrated ballistic calculator, making it an indispensable tool for any serious hunter. Here’s my detailed take on its performance, including the pros and cons.
Pros:
Optical Clarity and Build Quality
The optics on the LEICA GEOVID PRO 10×32 are exceptional. The 10x magnification provides a clear, bright, and sharp image, even in low-light conditions. The 32mm objective lens strikes a perfect balance between portability and light-gathering capability. The build quality is top-notch, with a rugged, weatherproof design that can withstand harsh hunting environments.
Integrated Ballistic Calculator
This is where the GEOVID PRO truly shines. The built-in ballistic calculator is the best I’ve ever used. It allows you to input your rifle’s ballistic data, including bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Once calibrated, it provides precise holdover points and elevation adjustments in real-time. This feature is a lifesaver when taking long-range shots, especially on moving targets like wolves.
Rangefinding Accuracy
The rangefinder is incredibly accurate, with a range of up to 1,600 yards (depending on the target’s reflectivity). I’ve tested it on various terrains, from dense forests to open plains, and it consistently delivers reliable readings. The ability to measure distance while maintaining a clear view of the target is a huge advantage.
Compact and Lightweight
Despite its advanced features, the GEOVID PRO is surprisingly compact and lightweight. It’s easy to carry around all day without feeling burdened, which is crucial for long hunts.
User-Friendly Interface
The menu system is intuitive and easy to navigate, even with gloves on. The display is clear and provides all the necessary information without cluttering the view.
Cons:
Price
The LEICA GEOVID PRO 10×32 is undeniably expensive. While the features justify the cost for serious hunters, it may be out of reach for casual or budget-conscious users.
Battery Life
The device relies on a CR2 battery, which can drain quickly if you’re using the rangefinder and ballistic calculator extensively. It’s a good idea to carry spare batteries on longer hunts.
Learning Curve
While the interface is user-friendly, mastering all the features, especially the ballistic calculator, takes some time. New users may need to spend a few hours familiarizing themselves with the settings.
Limited Low-Light Performance
While the optics are excellent, the 32mm objective lens can struggle in extremely low-light conditions compared to larger models like the 42mm or 56mm variants.
