    Lee Evans Retired from Twitching

    I think anyone who is prepared to write such a useful book as his 'Finding Birds in Britain' which I use all the time can't be all that bad. Thanks from me, Lee, for sharing your knowledge Doug

    Nikon P4 - Is a remote shutter release available?

    Thank you for your comments - I will pass them on to him. He has bought a swarovski AT80HD and mistakenly bought the sleeve type adaptor - do you know if the swing bracket Swarovski adaptor works with the P4 as I notice that the tripod mount thread is located to one side of the camera - is there...

    Nikon P4 - Is a remote shutter release available?

    I have a friend considering the P4 but he can't find out if you can get a remote shutter release for it - the Nikon website doesn't mention one. Does anyone know if one is available? Thank you for your help.

    Falkland Islands - Britain or South America?

    So if they are part of the UK - does this mean we could add some very exciting birds to extend our Uk list? Will the pagers start to cover it? it would make twitching a bit expensive though!!!

    What's the most unusual bird you've seen on a seawatch?

    For me, a Kingfisher, seen while seawatching from the North end of Scarborough. It turned out it was flying from a stream that fed nto the sea and going out to sea fishing then taking its catch back up the stream - to a nest I suppose.
