    Kowa DA-4 user experience.

    Hi, I only have a digiscoping adapter for the zoom eyepiece of my 883. I also have the 30xw eyepiece and am considering biting the bullet and purchasing the DA-4 (+ DA-10) digiscoping adapter so that I am able to digiscope with both eyepieces. Before I shell out the thick end of £500, I would...

    100-400 L repair.

    Hi, My 100-400 lens has developed a fault with the autofocus. It will not autuofocus and makes a rather horrible noise when trying to do so. I have gently shaken the lens and can hear what appears to be the sound of loose ball bearings inside. Manual focus is ok, but I have mothballed the lens...

    Kowa 883 stay-on-case

    Hi, Having just taken delivery of a Kowa 883 + zoom today, I am rather appalled by the design of the Kowa stay-on-case: Objective lens flap not removable, flap for foot of scope gap not removable and poor design of eyepiece cover. It doesn't seem a patch on the Skua stay-on-cases I have used...

    Canon 350D fault

    Hi, My Canon 350D will not switch on. I have tried several different, fully charged batteries. Before this happened I had noticed nothing happening at the time i've attempted to press the shutter on a few occasions lately. Could this have been a symptom? Before I take it to a shop, i'm...

    The cost of ringing in birdnews to pager services

    Hi, I am curious to know whether a significant level of discontent exists amongst birders with pagers, both RBA and Birdnet, regarding the issue of incurring call charges when ringing in with birdnews/updates? Personally, I think it should cost nothing to ring in with bird information, and i'm...

    Problems at Leica? / Leica APO 62 / Lens coatings.

    Hi, I've just spent the best part of this week thus far deciding upon which 60mm scope to go for. In the end it was a no-brainer for me as I already have a Leica APO 77 and most of the eyepieces, so I decided upon the 62mm angled APO. I had looked thorugh someone elses APO 62 and was blown...

    Aquatech sports shield lenscovers

    I'm thinking of purchasing the Aquatech SS-200 lens cover for my 350D / 100-400 Zoom combination. Does anyone else use the SS-200 over the 100-400 lens. If so, how do you rate it? Cheers, Bill.

    Portable Power Stations for Mothing.

    Does anybody have experience of using portable power stations for mothing - I.E. - the POWER STATION - JNS1880, as an alternative to a generator? I hope to run a 100w MBT Bulb over a sheet, or a 22w Actinic Trap for several hours with it? A link to further details of the product can be seen on...

    Shooting Gulls on Landfill sites and the law.

    Given the high number of Gulls in my local area at the moment, anticipation was high today as I approached my local landfill site, on foot, intent on giving the Gulls a thorough look through, only to hear before I arrived at the tip edge what sounded like two blasts from a shotgun. My intial...

    Black MV (and Actinic) Bulbs.

    I'm having to consider purchasing a black bulb for the garden MV trap. However, they are expensive and I believe the catch rates are a lot lower. Therefore, is it worth forking out £40 for a black bulb? I am aware they run hotter than an ordinary MV bulb, I have a large rainshield on the MV so...

    The bird/s you most regret NOT twitching.

    To kick this thread off, for me it has to be Ancient Murrelet (surely a once in a lifetime bird if ever there was one). Yellow-throated Vireo is another. I suppose the Druridge Bay Slender-billed Curlew (ditto the Murrelet comment) would be extremely high on a lot of peoples list? Most recent...
