    external microphone for smart phone

    Hi everyone, When I say "smart phone" I am currently using a new iPhone SE (2020 version). However, I do have a lightning connector/jack-plug converter so connections on individual devices are not entirely relevant. It shouldn’t be relevant but I’m in the UK. I have recently been trying a...

    Hedgerows

    This only applies to people with a UK postcode. If you have seen the disgusting photographs on "social media" about netting hedgerows and trees to prevent birds nesting, here is a parliamentary petition to sign and register your objections https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/244233

    Spectacles and birding

    Not sure which forum is best for this question but here goes. Hopefully the mods will put it in the right area. I'm very short sighted and I’ve worn spectacles for nearly 50 years and have always worn them for birding. Over the last few years I’ve become a varifocal wearer. Recently I...

    Tablet Computers

    Hi everyone, This is going to look pretty lazy but I’m hoping the experts on this section of the forum will have some words of advice they could share. I’m considering getting a tablet computer. I have discounted the iPad on cost. That leaves me with what is probably still a big choice (the...

    Skye

    Hi chaps and chapesses, I have a colleague who is off to Skye next week. As the company expert (ho-ho) on all things ornithological she has asked my advice on seeing White-tailed Eagle. I haven't been in ages and can't really help. Any recommendations about boat trips - which one; how much - to...

    Swarovski Binocular Booster

    Anyone out there with any experience of one of these ? I see they can be had for £170 and that makes them seem good value. But I've never even seen one. I use Swarovski 10x42 SLC binoculars which I take everywhere both in the UK and on holiday (France, Spain, Portugal, etc.). The master plan...

    Folks, It’s looking like I have a slight chance of getting to Tenerife this spring. Could be late February or early March subject to suitably priced flights. I’ve spotted a decent trip report on Surfbirds (http://www.surfbirds.com/mb/trips/tenerife-kt-0802.html) but it is a few years old. Any...

    Hey everyone

    Found this forum years ago but lost interest until a friend directed me here to read the Manchester mystery warbler thread. Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with my opinion of the bird. I live in Stockport and would call myself a Cheshire birder. Only been birding for 17 years and try...
