    Peanuts...

    We all know the RSPB recommend that you dont feed whole peanuts to birds during April to September (I think my dates are correct). 2 days ago I bought a 20kg bag of 'Firebird Special Wild Bird Seed' and found whole peanuts in the mix. I am not sure if this is a bag left over or new but I...

    Can birds recognise individual people...

Sometimes about 15 house sparrows fly across the road as I...

    Lens without tripod attachment

    Hi - I have a Canon 300D camera and also a 75-300 IS zoom lens. The lens does not have any means to attach it to a tripod therefore I have to attach the camera to the tripod, but as the lens is reasonably heavy it is then not very well balanced. Does anyone know if there is a tripod attachment...

    If you could only.....

    Hi - not been around here long but would love to know.... If (heaven forbid) you could only ever observe 1 bird for the rest of your life which would it be and why ? ...for my part it would be the Blackbird which I think is not only clever but also so comical to watch that I never get tired of...
