flying

Hi. Next month I'm planning on flying to Greece with my DSLR, along with tripod and 2 lenses... Planning on checking in the tripod, but carrying on everything else? Would that be ok with UK and Greek security? And any packaging tips? Thanks!! :D

Was out in Bushy Park the other morning watching the swans on one of the ponds, when I noticed this grey heron flying almost straight towards me. Think this is the best of the photographs I managed to grab. Stephen
