    Stuck hood on Ed 82

    Yes that’s exactly what it does, comes out halfway fine then just wobbles. Hood still useable to the halfway mark. Sent it to Nikon uk but as it was out of support date they couldn’t do anything with it no parts available but at least they tried and paid postage both ways. Also tried a well...

    Escaped Lynx killed - UK

    That’s a question that can only be answered by those on the ground at the time, they had to make a difficult call and then live with the consequences. Maybe try walking a mile in their shoes

    Escaped Lynx killed - UK

    Tranquilliser darts are only viable at very short distances as they are mainly fired from air rifles or CO2 powered rifles and the tranquilliser dart does not make an particularly aerodynamic or accurate delivery option. Most competent people familiar with their use would not attempt their use...

    Collins bird guide app

    Don't see the confusion when searching ie if your looking for say a robin, type in robin it will bring up on the main screen 5 options of species with robin in the title press European robin ( if that's what you were looking for) and it displays the plates etc for the robin, it takes seconds. Or...

    Great Leica Service

    My Leica experience was very poor a couple of years ago, problem with focussing on 8yr old 10x42 trinovids, returned them to Germany, 2/3 weeks later got an email saying they were past viable repair so they would let me buy a new pair of Ultravids at near full retail price I think about 1600...

    25-56x / 25-75x zoom eyepiece for 78 ED

    Regarding Stay on Case for ED78, In Focus do a black nylon padded SOC for around £45, if I can find my reciept I will confirm the price, its not a skua but its more than adequate and helps protect the scope HTH Will

    Scope survey.

This scope was practically unheard of...

    Favourite Bird Artist

    Woody Cant speak for others, but in my case you are spot on, I like the 'Illustration format' in bird books purely because it is my only experience in this medium.

    Favourite Bird Artist

    Have to agree with Harry, couldnt find my Collins the other night and dug out my old Birds of Europe by Lars Jonsson and the first thing that struck me was the quality of the illustrations, spend the next few hours just leafing through the book. My experience of Bird artists is totally confined...
