    Bempton Cliffs

    Hi Barry, not visited Filey Animal Park but I would think its more of a children's park. You will enjoy Bempton. I could not get this years, still recovering from a recently broken ankle. Perhaps you may get some other replies from BF members. Farne Islands are worth a visit, we had a cottage in...

After using this for a year, I decided to go for the Swaro 80HD there was a difference between night and day in image quality. If you can afford the best, my advice, don't waste your money. I...

    lens/camera connection

    Sean Don't worry about that movement that is normal.

I recentley sold the 7D, still...

    Annoying birding conversations in hides

    I agree, great comment...Especially Ness Hide Far Ings, banging door as they come and out.

Its obvieous some of...
