    Catoptria pinella?

    Hi, have I got this right? Also is the macro a Least Yellow Underwing, and is the other micro a Lozotaeniodes formosanus? Thanks Jonathan

    huge antennae yet cannot ID

    Hi all This seems very worn - I thought Pale Eggar might fit, I can detect a line across the wing, but totally wrong time of year, and I cannot explain the largish black spots near the base of the wing at nearly the widest point. Pretty big too. The other is likely a carpet on shape, but not...

    Wood or Mandarin?

    Evening, This loomed out of the fog at me this morning. We've had a couple of proper Mandarin appear recently (a very rare bird in Wanstead, where I live), and in the mist I assumed this was one of them. When the mist lifted a little the leucism became apparent, and then I wondered about Wood...

    SLC HD 10x42 vs EDG

    I will be in the market for some nice 10x42s later this year. The ones I am most interested in are the Swaro SLC HD and the Nikon EDG. They’re both the same price, pretty much, so that’s not a differentiator. If anyone has used or trialled both, or has chosen one over the other, what is a...

    EDG 10x42 or SLC HD - any opinions?

    I will be in the market for some nice 10x42s later this year. The ones I am most interested in are the Swaro SLC HD and the Nikon EDG. They’re both the same price, pretty much, so that’s not a differentiator. If anyone has used or trialled both, or has chosen one over the other, what is a...

    13-30x zoom (25-56)

    Hi, I have seen this for what seems like an excellent price (£100). What I want to know is if it is any good? It is the narrower one with a rubber eyecup, I think the full name is "13-30x/20-45x/25-56x MC zoom eyepiece" I've got an ED50. I'm currently using it with a tiny tiny eyepiece called...

    Various 27x eyepieces

    For an ED50, there would appear to be 3 different 27x eyepieces. 1) 27x MC (tiny, weighs 35g) 2) 27x MC Wide (far less tiny, costs much more, weight 165g) 3) 27x DS (for digiscoping, 180g) #1 tiny, cheapest, narrow field of view, weighs nothing - what is the optical quality versus the others...

    Nikon 8x32 SE question

    Hello All Out of sheer curiosity I picked up a s/h pair of these here on BF. I wanted to try them for myself, and the price, for the UK at least, was OK. They are not intended to be primary bins, I need waterproof and fogproof for my type of birding, but I'd heard enough good things about them...

    Trinovid 8x32 BA eyecups

    Hi all I lent these to a friend, and unfortunately they now have sand in the eyecups, despite washing them out. Objectives are fine, but when I push-pull the eyecups, you can hear a lot of grinding! I cannot seem to remove them - I twist and twist, and they don't come off. Twist them back the...

    Warbler, New Delhi

    Another one I have no confidence in, this was taken at the Okhla delta in New Delhi in April 2009, feeding by the side of the path next to the river. This went down as unidentified at the time, so anyone have any thoughts? Thanks Jonathan

    SINGAPORE bird

    Hi All I've been going through my photos and I have a small warbler-sized bird that I cannot identify. This was taken back in 2009, in September, in Singapore. I had put it down as Arctic Warbler at the time, I think, but on reviewing it I just don't know. Thanks Jonathan

    Swarovski 30x

    Hi Is there a difference between a 30x SW and a 30x W eyepiece, or is this simply differing website terminology? Thanks Jonathan
