    Twitchable Eurasian Lynx, Estonia

    I have just returned from Estonia (site 1hr from Talinn), having successfully twitched Eurasian Lynx (female and cub). While the snow remains, there is a decent chance of others connecting - but you need to move fast. I will write a short trip report/blogpost, but unfortunately broke my ribs...

    Where to see lekking ghost moth?

    A plea for help in relation to my next book. I'm trying to track down good sites to see lekking ghost moths (clearly, without causing disturbance). Probably best by PM - and ideally with grid reference. Please don't send me any sensitive sites: whatever is sent may end up in the book (i.e...

    Badger-watching in Europe

    In Britain, there are plenty of commercial opportunities to watch Badgers from hides overlooking setts. But what about mainland Europe? Does anyone know of any European equivalents? Thanks James

    Is Canon 1d mk iv compatible with Speedlite 580EX?

    I have a Speedlite 580EX (mark i) that works fine with my Canon 1d mark iii. However, I can't seem to pair it at all with my 1d mark iv. e.g. - When I use the camera's Menu function to try to control the Speedlite from the camera, it says 'please connect a suitable Speedlite' or similar. -...

    PS Elements/Organizer - batch renaming files

    As a result of computer (Apple) change, I have had to 'upgrade' from PS Elements 6 & Adobe Bridge to PS Elements 13 & Organizer. In Bridge I used to efficiently batch rename multiple files, including using useful presets (e.g. date; retain existing filename). How can I do the same using...

    UK butterflies 2014

    A bit late, I acknowledge, but we had a decent thread on UK butterflies last year. So an equivalent this year to share information on emergences, activity, sites/species, vagrants etc.

    UK herps 2014

    A bit late, I acknowledge, but we had a decent thread on UK herps last year. So an equivalent this year to share information on emergences, activity, well-known sites/species etc - but steering well clear of divulging sensitive information (e.g. precise locations for adders).

    Where to see waxcaps?

    Each autumn, when not birding, I gradually venture into looking for and photographing fungi. Like any new group, starting out is rather bewildering. Has anyone got any suggestions for good sites to look for waxcaps? Ideally SE England, S England or E Anglia. thanks James

    RFI Coralroot orchid, Culbin, Nairn

    If anyone has a good idea of where to look for Coralroot Orchids in Culbin forest, Nairn, I'd love to hear from them. I'm off there early June - and it might be worth a shot with some decent gen! Best by PM, I suggest. thanks James Lowen

    2013 UK orchids

    Kicking off the annual thread now in the vain hope that someone has seen something (anything) sprouting above ground. Anyone else hoping for a second consecutive wet spring to raise hopes that Ghostly Vision might have some wonderful news for us at some point in the summer?
