    Southern France - recent news?

    I've got a long weekend booked off for next weekend and am considering either going to south of France for Wallcreeper, Spotted Eagle, etc. or NE Spain for Wallcreeper, Dupont's Lark etc. Does anyone know if Wallcreepers have returned to Les Baux this winter - I read there was only one last...

    Zeiss slide-on adaptor compatability

    I've been digiscoping with a Nikon Coolpix P5000 and a Zeiss slide-on adaptor (not sure precisely what they're called but it looks something like these). This is connected to the camera using a UR-E20 converter ring. The adaptor simply slides over the eye piece extremely quickly and easily and...

    Western Palaearctic bird sounds

    What are the best collections of Western Palaearctic sounds that can be played on a phone (iPhone or other), and can any of them be purchased and downloaded directly to my phone, or to my computer for transfer to my phone, rather than being sent to me on CD? I'm off to Turkey early Saturday...

    Best cameras for Zeiss 'scope?

    I'm after some advice for buying a new digiscoping camera. I use a Zeiss Diascope 85T FL with 20-60x eyepiece and as I use it for birding as well as photography it's essential that the camera can be put on and taken off almost instantaneously. I have been using a Coolpix 4500 for years and...

    EOS 400D + 70-300 IS: recommended?

    I'm thinking of splashing out on a DSLR having made do with digiscoping with a Coolpix 4500 for a few years. I intend to continue carrying my scope & Coolpix for looking at and photographing more distant birds, but want something hand-held that will enable me to catch birds in flight and small...
