    Observation bins or scope?

    I live in a steep sided valley. The far side of the valley is about 1000ft away and is wooded with some meadow areas. With my old 12x50s I can make out wood pigeons in the trees and can watch foxes in the clearings but not in any great detail. I am thinking about 20x80 observation binoculars...

    I found that the picture quality from my Mini DV camcorder was far better than my mini cams fitted in my nest boxes. As 1 of my nest boxes was due to be replaced this year so I decided to build a larger box and fit a Mini DV camcorder instead. I managed to buy a camera from Ebay for £35 and...

    Nest Box Raider?

    Can anybody ID this bird from it's beak? It was picked up by my nest box camera yesterday morning. I have a feeling it may be a woodpecker. I have included a Gt Tit pic from the same camera to give an idea of scale. Thanks. Brett.

    Great Tit Eggs?

    After discovering 3 eggs in my Blue tit box yesterday I was a bit suprised to discover what looks like a couple of eggs in my Gt tit nest box.
