    Berry Head, Devon

    I have the opportunity of a dawn seawatch at Berry Head tomorrow. A quick glance at the weather forecast, and it seems it's going to be cloudy with sunny spells and a light south westerly, but no rain. On Saturday however, the rain is back, with stronger south west winds. Anyone think it's...

    Isle of May, August

    Hello all. I have distant relatives (bird ringers, although not strictly birders) who visit the Isle of May each year. They tend to visit in the summer and ring seabirds (full permit A license), but they do very little actual birding when up there. They've kindly invited me up to stay with...

    Bits and pieces

    Hello all. I recently decided to have a go at sketching. A rainy day, internet was down, and I had little else to do. Obviously I didn't start out any good, but I did my best. Since then I have done a few sketches, and although still very new to it, and even though they aren't brilliant, most...

    Settings on Samsung NV10

    Hi all. For the last few months, I have been digiscoping with a Samsung NV10 handheld to a Swarovski ATS65HD. The Samsung has been a good all round camera, not bad for landscapes or macro work, but I have been struggling with the settings for digiscoping. It is very tempting to just use the AF...

    Greece April 2008

    I'll start off by saying that this was in no shape or form a birding trip, simply a family holiday which happened to be in a good location. I did as much birding as possible however, and was pleased with the final tally as well as catching up with a few tricky species along the way. All photos...

    Potential feldegg split?

    In 2005, a male Black-headed Wagtail motacilla flava feldegg turned up in south Devon. I and many others had great views of the bird on many dates. Here is a picture of the bird still moulting into full adult plumage. It later attained a full and spectacular black cap. I was wondering, which...
