    Derbyshire County Birding

    Yep, I had a Shag the day before Valentine's Day. As always, I'm suffering from premature identification

    Derbyshire County Birding

    Sorry this is late, but I was at Carsington yesterday and 90% certain had a Shag. Only had bins and I was looking off Stones Island towards Millfields. It was really difficult to watch on the water (surf was up, dudes!), but it then flew way off heading into Hopton Arm, though it might have...

    Marsh Warbler Gosport Hampshire?

    Good God, that mimicry of the police siren is unbelievable. Seriously impressive!

    Afternoon at Carsington. 2 Whimbrels off Stones Island on the next rocky island (don't know what it's called), they were flying over Stones Island calling for a while then settled at 3.45 and were still there when we left after 4. Little Gull at the Wildlife Centre. Both divers between Sheepwash...

    Hi Dave, glad to hear a few got it. I waited around for a while but I couldn't find a single birder to tell. Had to leave suddenly when my daughter went into meltdown!

    Wood Warbler at Carsington today on Stones Island in the first little patch of silver birch & scrub on the right. It was singing around 2.30 and showing quite well. Also 2 Little Gulls by the Wildlife Centre, 5 Lesser Whitethroats and a single Common Whitethroat singing between Sheepwash and the...

    Once again, Marsh or Willow ? English Midlands

    Based on how so many of us repeatedly cock these two up (and ringers are also getting them wrong), does anyone else worry whether the historic published range and population of Willow Tit and Marsh Tit could be completely and utterly wrong? How do we know whether surveyors were identifying them...

    Panasonic FZ-200

    Well as I've said before, other than the really annoying manual focus (which I've pretty much given up on now), for what I want, this camera is just fantastic. Best 480 quid I ever spent!

    And just so you can see how useful this camera would be when a Tufted Puffin comes past you, and you don't want the birding world thinking you're a bigger liar than Jeffrey Archer

    Panasonic FZ-200

    Some more pics. I've got no intention whatsoever of deploying fieldcraft or using any skill at all to take photos of birds. I just want something that I can achieve an acceptable record shot of birds I stumble upon. However, having seen those shots on Flickr, I'm almost tempted to try and use...

    Panasonic FZ-200

    I think the verdict is they're pretty much the same, give or take a few minor changes. If you have the FZ150 you probably wouldn't be wise to upgrade. I tried to get the FZ150 because it was being advertised for so much cheaper than FZ200, but it had sold out everywhere when I was looking. I...

    Thanks Malcolm. Took a while but did it in the end. I think I'll just make sure to record in MP4 from now on!

    Panasonic FZ-200

    I though I'd set it to record in MP4, but it's not showing up in iMovie. So presumably it's recorded as some stupid .mts file or something.
