    Timelapse camera recommendations?

    I was wondering if anyone in the camera/photography forum has any recommendations for a timelapse camera? Budget would be around £300 max, but anything cheaper would be great. Doesn't have to have amazing specs (1024 would be fine) and ideally be able to cover 1-2 days worth of footage. I have...

    Tarsiger website

    Does anyone know what has happened to Tarsiger? Having had a look in the last week it is no longer listed on (insert your search engine of choice). It had the most comprehensive online database of WP rarities and as such it would a shame to lose access to such a resource.

    Common / Iberian Chiffchaff - Conwy

    Sound recording of an unidentified Chiffchaff singing at Conwy RSPB last SAturday afternoon. Song not typical of Common Chiffchaff, but I am unsure if it really matches song of Iberian. Not a great recording unfortunately but best I could do with the phone.

    Lakenheath Nettle-tap

    Photographed this Udea lutealis at Lakenheath Fen this morning and only noticed the micro at bottom left when I downloaded the pics. At a first glance, it looks like a Nettle-tap, but a couple of features strike me as odd, for example the shape of the outer edge of the wing as well as the amount...

    Water Rail - Ireland?

    A couple of minutes ago I flushed a bird from the stream at the end of the garden while setting up the moth trap for the night. Unfortunately I didn't get any kind of view of the bird, but it did give several surprisingly loud calls which I would transcribe as "kek-i-wek". It sounded similar to...
