    Tory Island Autumn 2014 Looks to have been quite a good Autumn on Tory so far. I'd appreciate if anyone visiting would post their sightings or a link to other reports here. Many thanks, Richard

    Lesvos - Skalla Kallonis or Sigri ?

    Having been to Lesvos for the first time in April/May 2014 I would like to try a hotel or apartment in Sigri some year. You could get up nice and early and have breakfast and be out birding by 8:00am I think this would give a real advantage, rather than driving from the Skala area. Must try...

    Arranmore Magheroarty & Blanket Nook Southerly winds made our trip to Arranmore Island a bit of a damp squib. Overcast conditions with sea mist and low cloud spoiled birding. No sign of the Snowy Owl & no seabirds other than a few Gannets & gulls. Walked the Burtonport Railway track footpath...

    Not much in the way of recorded visits to Tory this year? I hope to get over next week. Looking forward to an autumn trip or two this year, never know what may turn up. Richard

    Dragon era I'm looking forward to a week's birding based in Port de Pollenca at the end of April. Is Dragonera worth a day trip? How easy is it to get out there? Richard

    Swarovski ATX 85mm

    New modular spotting scope by Swarovski Optik. An excellent scope with a noticeably bright and sharp image. This scope has a very handy digiscoping attachment which allows rapid attachment of camera to scope.

    Swarovski ATX 95 Case

    I had a look at the Cabelas case and its doubtful it would fit the ATX. I prefer the stay on case design as it offers good protection to the scope when out and about. I had ordered the Swarovski stay on case and finally picked it up yesterday. It is excellent and is everything I expected from...

    Swarovski ATX 95 Case

    I was looking on Uttings web site and they showed stay on cases for both the eye piece and front piece as separate items. The price was close to £200 for both. Sounds very expensive as the last ones were £155.
