    1.4x converter for record shots

    I've been looking at getting a 1.4x converter for my 7DmkII and 400prime set up but struggling to find decent reviews, basically I'm looking to see if it would help me nail record shots of something a bit more distant like over the sea, lots of reviews say loss of image quality so just crop but...

    Poss Pine Bunting in flight, Spurn, UK

    Had this bunting u-turn at Spurn on 7th October with a Yellowhammer, frustratingly I couldn't subsequently relocate it along with a few others so all I have to go on are these 4 flight shots and the call seemed a little harsher than the accompanying Yellowhammer more akin to Corn Bunting. Pro...

    So as a hobby level entrant into the world of sound recording I purchased a Sennheiser MKE-300 off eBay and am now looking to get a recorder to go with it.

    Rare and Scarce in Yorkshire

    Seen as the Yorkshire thread doesn't seem to discuss rare and scarce birds very often, I thought I'd start a thread here for posts concerning rare and scarce birds that occur in Yorkshire, rather than for Red Kites and garden birds. What better day to start it than with Yorkshire's 3rd and...

    New ID tool?

    Just done a blog post on a potential new ID tool, I've applied it to white-winged gulls but I'm sure there must be other species it would be useful for. http://timsbirding.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-id-tool.html

    Weather conditions for Porthgwarra head

    I will be going on holiday next week for 2 weeks with the family and as much as I would like to spend my time on Gwennap head my time will be more likely limited to a few mornings, so my question is what are the best weather conditions for a good 'fall' of sea birds there?

    Recording bird song to iPod touch/iPhone

    I ordered a small microphone to go on my iPod touch and was thinking of trying to record bird song with it. Its one of the really small ones off Amazon so I'm not sure how well it will pick up the song but thought it'd be worth a try. Anyone else tried this? Will post on here my results for...
