    I.D request of Kerala Bird

    This bird was seen in Kerala, near Munnar, about 2 weeks ago. We were watching a group of small birds (mainly flycatchers) in a woody area and I saw this bird. Our guide stated it could be Brown Flycatcher but I am uncertain. To be fair there were so many birds he could have been looking at...

    Dead Pixels in camera

    I have an LX3 that I have previously used for digiscoping but also use it as an occasional carry around camera for events street scenes etc. I was at a show at the weekend and took a lot of photos with sky in. I have now noticed in the sky area that I have quite a few black pixels (presumably...

    Menorcan Bird Sighting

    Do you know Menorca Birdlife. I am currently in Cala'n Forcat and today picked up an Azure Winged Magpie feeding in coastal scrub. Never seen one before here (although it is fair few yaers when I was last here). This doesn't feature on any checklist I can find although the range is expanding...

    Infrared Photography

    I appreciate this is not birds or wildlife but as you are all so helpful I wonder if anyone has advice. My old 4500 was sitting in the cupboard doing nothing and I was even considering getting rid of it. At a photo talk the other day I heard someone say that if you put a infrared filter in...

    Hides

    I have seen a hide on the equipment review section of Birdforum at http://www.birdforum.net/reviews/showproduct.php/product/282 Has anyone tried this hide. On the face of it it looks small enough and suitable for birding/photography. Unfortunately the link it takes you to is in a language...

    Settings for 590is

    Does anyone have settings that work when using the Canon 590is for digiscoping? I suspect this has probably previously been a thread but I cant find it, apologies if this is the case.

    Cold Weather Conditions

    Can anyone give me some advice. I am going to Poland at the end of January, hopefully seeing wolves, elk etc. I have a Nikon D80 and Canon 590is both of which state will operate at above 0c. The temperature could reach -15/-20. Does anyone know of the best way to keep cameras warm but not...

    Plastic Digiscoping Adaptor

    Recently I was in Gloucester watching the waxwings and came across a person digiscoping with a 4500 and a Leica. His adaptor was a black plastic tube which was screwed on the camera lens in the usual way. The front end was lipped at the lower part. The tube pushed over the eyepiece and the...
