    Olympus Tough TG4

    I bought this little camera used from LCE last year .. I have found the microscope mode combined with the focus stacking to be a nice feature especially to get shots of the tiny insects that sit on fences. The versions of the camera with focus stacking are the TG4, TG5 & TG6 I think. I suspect...

    Nightingales'

    Another one that has raised its head again. I suppose that from Medway Council's point of view 5,000 homes = £several million per year council tax revenue, and of course Nightingales' don't pay council tax and migrants are unpopular. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-21792122

    Sciurus carolinensis in the UK, is it really a lost battle?

    As I walk down the hill into the town today there is only one species "wild" mammal that I am certain of seeing which is Sciurus carolinensis. Thanks to human rights activists it is now certain to have a foothold in Europe and to spread into Asia. Here in the UK it seems to have been...

    What I am looking for is something like a shopping trolley but which has got proper metal rather than plastic wheels and is suitable for wheeling along paths across fields etc. It would need to be compact so as to be suitable to take on buses. Any suggestions on where I could find something like...

    Black Headed Gulls chasing and catching Turnstones

    I was at Preston Sands near Paignton yesterday, there were a lot of Turnstones present and I noticed that often as they took flight out over the sea they were pursued by BH Gulls, in one case I saw a BH gull catch a turnstone and then fly off with it. This was not something that I was shocked or...

    Motorways and Bypasses, are they really negative?

    Motorways and modern bypasses often bring more traffic and extra pollution but they also often bring nice wide vegetated verges that usually have little direct interference from humans. Often these verges are the only such places available to to wildlife in urban areas. Indeed back in the early...

    The history of digiscoping

    I found this interesting site http://10000birds.com/50-years-of-digiscoping-history.htm In this world though there is such a thing as re-invention, back in 1998 (which no knowledge of this) I held a monocular to the front of my Olympus c420 to get a closer picture of part of Crewe Hall. My...
