    Golden Eagles

    Without wishing to rain on your parade. I doubt that anyone will be providing exact locations of birds for obvious reasons. I would also forget trying to photograph wild Golden Eagles as you will not have a lens long enough to get a decent shot and you will likely be arrested for getting too...

    Some facts about CF cards

    Thanks for posting this - very informative and potentially cost saving :-)

    See Ya Norton...but...

    I use AVG free edition (by grisoft) which can be downloaded from File Hippo, also use Adaware for spyware and Spybot search and destroy - with those three on the go, nothing gets by. In my opinion they are just as good as the versions that you pay for

    Which raw converter?

    I use Capture One and find that pretty good, otherwise I use Capture NX by Nikon.

    Neat Image Software

    I use Noiseware which is a similar product - except there is a free 'community version' available - I have in the past used Neat Image, and I moved to noiseware as it generally did a better job. I started with the community edition and eventually upgraded to the Photoshop plug in Here is the...

    White Sparrow type bird? Can anyone ID?

    I have looked through a wide variety of books that I own and cannot find anything that even comes close - so I am assuming it is probably an escapee?

    White Sparrow type bird? Can anyone ID?

    I am posting this on behalf of my father who saw this bird. My father lives in Benfleet, Essex backing onto the Hadleigh nature reserve and Thames Estuary Can anyone give any suggestions for an ID? "The bird was virtually pure white with no visible other markings and was in the company of...

    New Lidl Binocular offer

    I picked up a pair today and was surprised at just how good they were for the money. These will make a great pair to leave in the boot of the car or at the office. You can never have too many pairs of binoculars you know.................

    Best Bird Book

    I think that the link above is to the hardback small format version and not to the hardback large format version.

    hi everyone

    Hi, I grew up in in Essex, by the sea - Southend on Sea to be precise. It's a great place to watch birds and I have fond memories

    Scaup or Lesser Scaup?

    I found a scaup on my local patch today. It didn't have the usual dark green head, instead it had a black head. It also had a dirty scruffy grey body, where it should have been crisp clean white. I think that it was a lesser scaup - I am still waiting for someone to verify it. Unfortunatly...

    Birds you think you saw but didn't tick.

    A kingfisher which flew past so quickly that I caught the blur of blue on it's back. But as I was on a saltwater marsh standing next to the sea I thought that I must have been seeing things. I saw it again some months later sitting on a fence post and ticked it then, and maybe will learn to...

    Funny white wader

    Possibly although it's back was completely white and I would suggest that the beak was slightly longer than on a plover?

    Funny white wader

    I was down at my local patch today in the Bird Hide in Wigtown, Scotland. It is a large salt marsh nature reserve. One of the other people who was in the hide spotted a strange little small wader which he could not identify and neither could I. It was largely white on it's entire body apart...

    I have Frog spawn so soon

    We had frog spawn three weeks ago - it has frozen twice since then! It seems to be getting earlier each year, and the winters are getting milder.

    Best Bird Book

    I bought this book at the weekend based on your recomendation - I managed to find it for £12 which I was quite pleased by, and guess what, I like it too :-)

    Books by Simon Barnes

    I enjoyed his last one which was the Bad Birdwatchers Companion (At least thats what I think it was called). A humerous and interesting look at 50 UK species. Very nice to read over a few evenings with a glass of wine.

    damned wellies

    I also wear Hunter wellies not sure which model but they have the Vibram walking sole on and they are lined with neoprene. I have had these for three years so far and they are still going strong. I think I paid £40 for them. A good investment it seems.

    Mammals seen while birding

    I've seen otters, roe and red deer, seals, foxes, badgers, red and grey squirrels, rats, voles and bats I'm with Mark on this - as much as I love birds, I'd rather see a rare mammal that I haven't seen before than a rare bird that I haven't seen before. There I've said it [feels guilty as he...

    Is Gull watching for experts only?

    I think the great thing about most gulls is that they are big birds that you can get pretty close to, and therefore really see lots of detail through binoculars, they are also not timid and therefore tend to stick around for a reasonable length of time for you to observe, photograph or compare...
