    Tortoise ID Bulgaria

    I saw this guy in Krasne Gorge in SW Bulgaria in June last year and id'ed it to Testudo hermanni. But I'm in doubt - could it be T. graeca? Thanks, Thomas

    40D packed it? Comments appreciated

    Hi, On the last day (fortunately) of a recent trip to Australia my beloved 40D started to misbehave. More precisely it started to blow highlights in situations where the light may have been slightly tricky, but nothing really out of the ordinary. And my old 350D (which I keep as a back-up) was...

    Lens/camera service in London

    Hi there, I hope someone can help me here. I recently moved from Edmonton, Canada to London, UK. Now my camera (40D) and main birding/wildlife lens are both due for service - preferably before the spring really arrive. And definitely before I go back to North America in June/July. So my...

    Another South African

    Hi, I shot this eagle in southern Krüger NP a month ago, asssuming it was a subadult Tawny Eagle. But when I look at the picture now, I don't think it's an Aquila, at least not one of the larger species. The jizz doesn't really fit, and it seems to be too small for a medium-sized eagle. A...

    UD South African bird

    Hi, I just returned home from a trip to north-eastern South Africa. I took a couple of pictures of this bird in southern Krüger National Park on June 26. I have not, however, been able to identify it (using Princeton's "Guide to the Birds of Southern Africa"). Can anybody help? Thanks, Thomas

    Canon 350D and old macro flash

    Hi, I hope some one can help me with this question. I have an old Canon Macro Ring Lite ML-3 flash unit that worked perfectly together with my EF 100/2.8 Macro on my EOS 50E back in the film days (a year ago). From what I know, Canon's dSLRs "will not work" with non-EX flash units. But what...

    First pics with my new 100-400L - please comment

    Hi, I just bought the Canon EF 100-400L IS, and have more or less automatically joined the ranks of paranoid 100-400 owners (is the lens really sharp, or do I have a bad copy?). Well, here is the first decent picture from the lens (and Canon Rebel XT) and a 100% crop of the bird (Eastern...
