    Ultimate homemade adaptor??

    Following on from the adaptors I have previously made, here is the Mk 3 incarnation. Inspired by the Swarovski DCB, and made for my Nikon ED82. I have uploaded a general view of the adaptor. But by visiting our Digiscoping page here http://www.digiscoping.lynandmalc.co.uk/newadaptor.htm...

    Kestrel eating a snake ...whole!

    Have witnessed a Kestrel this evening, swallowing a snake in one piece. Can you please advise me if this is common food for a Kestrel. I did manage to digiscope several pictures of the snake being swallowed, so will post them when I have photoshopped them, as taken from about 100 metres. Malc

    A question for Swarovski DCB users please.

    I am trying to help a newcomer to digiscoping, they have the DCB adaptor which was obtained second hand. When you try to adjust the camera from side to side to centre it on the eyepiece, it is almost impossible, as the slider the base of the camera fits on to is extremely stiff to move, and...

    Mouth operated cable release

    No don't laugh. How much easier to digiscope with two hands free. I made this simple device before going to Portugal in September. While trying to digiscope Sardinian Warbler in bramble bushes, they were constantly moving in search of food, one hand on the focus ring on the scope, the other...

    Digiscoping in windy conditions.

    Went out in near gale conditions this afternoon (Saturday) to Stanpit marsh near Christchurch Dorset, between 12.30 and 3.00pm. Main objective was to see if digiscoping was at all possible in high winds. Using the Nikon P5100 with VR on. (I normally shoot with VR on anyway) I took about 56...

I haven't a clue really what this means, never heard of it before, but then I have never been asked for photos before. :eek!: Does it mean convert the picture...

    Ok so I am a newish birder, but can anyone tell me why thousands of pigeons are heading west, down here on the south coast near bournemouth. I thought they pretty well stayed around the same place, do they also migrate, and if so to where. Here is part of a report by a local bird club "CHOG"...

    How many of you use spiked feet on your tripod

The Grey Heron was at a distance of more than 100 metres And the Robin at 42 metres (I paced it out) I must say I was a bit suprised at the results. Nikon ED82A scope...

    Fuji F30 good digiscoping camera?

    Well I have been using one for the last 3 months, my first foray into Digiscoping. My first trip out, I was quite suprised to get a few decent pictures. The weather since then has been decidedly iffy, so just a quick visit to the local marsh between the wind and rain had to suffice. Today I...
