    Norfolk birding

    Regarding the feeding of mealworms. I spoke with some bloke from the Holkham Estate the day after the Steppe Grey was last seen. He said he'd been in touch with someone assisting the re-introduction of Corncrake at the Nene Washes and that feeding of dried mealworms was detrimental to their...

    Cambridgeshire Birding

    I went to the Ouse Washes yesterday morning. The water levels were higher. Lots of Duck and feral Geese, the Great White Egret seen from Grose Hide, a Spotted Redshank and a couple of passage Swallows were the highlights. I only walked to Churchmans and back but I don't think the Glossy Ibis has...

    What was your most embarrasing....''string''

    Ken, By 'string' do you mean calling something that could well be something else? If so...I'm guilty as charged m'lud . But, and a big BUT, you've got to be aware of the rare. I reckon the folks that look for the 'string' find more rare birds than the one's expecting the usual suspects. Open...

    Tunisia. Which Book???

    Johnny, We were a tad further south than you're going, but saw.... Laughing Dove were all about. Spanish and Rock Sparrow on the resort. On a day trip to the Ksour I spied Black and Red-rumped Wheatear, Spotless Starling, Brown-necked Raven, Trumpeter Finch and House Bunting. Not bad for mid...

    Tunisia. Which Book???

    I agree with Richard. Collins was fine for helping me id birds I saw on a non birding hol near Djerba. I added 10+ new uns and I wasn't paying that much attention...no change there then ;-) dave..

    Cambridgeshire Birding

    Ouse Washes 22-09-12 I felt a tad birdy this morning and seeing the weather forecast, I decided to get out today rather than tomorrow. Not been to the Ouse Washes for a long time and was mightily impressed by how the reserve is being managed. The scrapes were full of birds. It was Coot City in...

    Please help me identify these vintage USSR Binoculars

    Can't really help with the id Adam.... sorry. I bought some Tento 7x35 bins (1983 vintage) off of e-bay recently and apart from a tadge yellow tinge to the image they handle lovely, are light and surprisingly crisp. I reckon you'd have to shell out £300+ for a new/used binocular that's as good...

    Are birders sexist?

    So, that's a yes and a no then ;) Must admit, I've not noticed any sexism whilst out birding. Then again, I'm probably not in the right 'place' to notice.....I'm birding! That's why I commented previously.

    WIN an Opticron MM2 52mm travelscope, 13-39x zoom eyepiece, case & tripod worth £400

    In these times of economic uncertainty and 'double dip' recessions etc, I sadly had to sell my beloved APO telescope and DSLR camera to buy a car for my commute to the job centre. Leaving me with only a pair of un-collimated, thrown in a ditch, secondhand Miranda 32x12xzoom binoculars to pursue...
