    Short trip to India

    In November I visited India, just a short trip for work. But I also had two days to visit some sights with a colleague. For work I stayed in Delhi where I only had tome to walk around the hotel in the morning before the day's work started. First morning I saw Brown-headed and Coppersmith...

    Trips from Delhi in November

    looks like I'll be in Delhi for a few days in November and might be able to add a few days for some wildlife viewing. What "nearby" NP would people suggest for a chance at tigers? And are there nice birding areas close to Delhi itself? Any tips on how to get around (taxi?) or best way to book...

    shrike species Israel

    Saw this shrike in the Negev desert in Israel. My guess was a juvenile grey shrike, because it reminds me one. But, as you might have guessed by me posting here, I'm not sure. Help is appreciated :)

    Israel March 2013

    I'm not much of a writer so I'll keep it short. I visited Israel end of March/beginning of April this year and had some time to go look at the wildlife as well. I'm not much of a birder, yet, so no long lists of the huge number of species I saw, but suffice it to say there was A LOT to see. Lots...

    raptors in Israel

    I spent a week in Israel recently and there were lots of birds to see. As I drove up the side of a mountain I suddenly saw dozens of raptors start to soar, eagles, buzzards, kites and there were a few falcons flying around. I'm terrible at identifying raptors, especially the eagles. So, my...

    Good flashlight for spotting

    I'm looking to buy a flashlight for spotting animals at night (and some general use when required). I need it to be of a reasonable size so it can fit in my camera bag, so nothing really wide or heavy. So far a LED Lenser P7 or P14 seems the best option and easily bought here in Europe. But...

    Eagle ID in Israel

    I put a pic in the gallery of an eagle I saw at Agam Agmon in Israel. I find eagles difficult to identify, especially when you add immature vs adult in there. I'd appreciate some help :) http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/433154/limit/recent

    Magic Lantern on the 7D

    Yesterday I saw the announcement that they have finally managed to get the Magic Lantern software to work on the 7D, giving quite a few extra functions. http://www.petapixel.com/2012/10/14/magic-lantern-comes-to-the-canon-7d-focus-peaking-and-a-slew-of-features/ right now its an alpha version...

    Israel in July

    Yes, its going to be hot, but surely there are some nice spots that are more likely to turn up some rare/nice birds even this time of year? I'll be spending a few days down South (Eilat, Dead Sea) and just over a week in the North. Suggestions are appreciated!

    large raptor in Israel

    Last week I was in Israel, at the Gamla nature reserve, known for its vultures. We saw several Griffon vultures and some more raptors, among them the one on the pic attached. It was a large bird, but without a size reference it is difficult to say how large exactly. To me it looked like an...
