    How to set IPD accurately?

    And how much did you pay for this advice? My 'financial' acumen is way low, and I could've suggested that!

    Goldcrest on feeders

    I saw my first goldcrest yesterday, in the garden....lovely. My wife has seen them before here but she has had more opportunity than I. It was a good day, yesterday, for the first time in the garden, I saw a tree creeper. In the past I had only seen their backs as by ran up a tree trunk; I...

    Stalking the Elusive Alpha

    There are some who would claim that they can see more detail observing through some Canon binoculars but they don't seem to emerge as being in the alpha class.

    High end hide luxury

    I went to a location,' where birds were the main attraction but loads of kids running up and down and junmping on the hides' floorboards: they loved it. But the bird watchers didn't. Solid floors? And shelving?

    New released Swaro CL Companion 8x30 B

    Gijs, Presumably, for a concave surfaced eyepiece lens, her measurement is not from the entire but from the edge??? I would wish that all manufacturers measured from the plane of the rim to the sharp focus AND the depth from the rim to the ocular's centre surface, (which is c. 5mm on my ELs...

    birds seen on live webcam in makov, Czechia

    I am not sure that the you tube sites are live. I normally watch the live cam listed separately, where it has lying snow and some flakes falling. However, this site shows no snow and it should be dark now. Saw a pheasant and a stork.

    Great live HD Birdcam from Czech Republic

    This miserable morning, I have enjoyed watching the live feed for much of the time. Although no expert, I think the tit I see is a marsh tit based on bib shape. Two jays have dominated activity, disturbed confrontationally by GS Woodpeckers. Have also seen collared doves, nuthatches and, at...

    Why is it such a common problem now days for binoculars to have too much eye relief r

    Justabirdatcher I agree with Lee. One of the problems with fold down eye cups for specs wearers is often that fully folded back eye relief is too short and the lowest intermediate position gives not enough.

    New Canon IS Models

    I have ordered 10x30 is II ex demo at a good price. Might get them tomorrow. I have been wondering what advantages that the new 10x32 offering holds for bird watchers that would justify the triple price. 2m close focus as against 4m would be a help, but hardly critical; 13.8% more light yes...

    Simply bearings also sell O rings by linear measure and diameter, plus a glue: I have never tried it but if the glue is good that might be a better way of doing it if you are more nimble in the DIY department than I am now.

    Why is it such a common problem now days for binoculars to have too much eye relief r

    When I started out with O rings, I bought a mixed bag from the bay. I am in the UK and if you search for simplybearings.co.uk you will be able to choose sizes. Not cheap but a helpful company.
