    Yorkshire Birding

    New but Old Kids on the Block! Hello, Just in the process of relocating to Bempton! We are renting a holiday cottage in Bempton until the exchange of contracts for our "rest of our lives" home in the village. It will be nice to meet up with local birders in the area to share information etc. We...

    Poor Scope User - should I give up?

    Joe - "Best tip I've seen is to put a cable tie on the end of the telescope for quickly getting a bird into view (this absolutely works wonders)." Can you elaborate on this please? Thanks |:S|

    Holding something makes sense! Another comment suggested refraction of light.

    Unusual Gull - Brandon Marsh Warwickshire A couple of days ago, I was taking images of a Grey Heron on east marsh pool at Brandon Marsh. When I brought the images up on my laptop, I noticed the gull on the far left of the attached images. It appears to have a rather long bill! I did not notice...

    Canon EF 300 f4 L IS USM lens

    Hi Max - I think Di Stone has a Canon 300 f4. Perhaps you could arrange a meet up at Brandon to try? :t:

    Many thanks Damian. Due to an injury at work, my plans have had to be revised so I may not get to all of the sites. Still hoping though! Enjoy your break and I hope you get your targets. Excellent images on your flickr! Kevin

    Extender help please.

    Hi Max - I've got a Kenko 1.4, canon fit but have to use it manually as autofocus wont work. Don't want to tape. To be honest, it stays in my bag as I haven't seen much benefit!

    Information Request

    Hi - We will be having a family holiday at the end of May staying in the village of Nebo, near Llanwrst. I know the major bird watching sites in the area but wonder if there are any local spots that would be good for woodland species, particularly Redstart and Pied Flycatcher? If information is...

    External Flash - Benefits?

    Thank you for your kind reply. I will be using a Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8Di macro 1:1 lens on either my 7D or 40D. With regard to macro, I hope to be able to generalise with images of plants and insects. I am of limited budget so cannot afford expensive flash units. Macro will be a new...

    External Flash - Benefits?

    This is probably a "silly" question but I am wondering about the benefits of an external flash unit over the built in camera flash, particularly for macro. I have a Canon 40D and Canon 7D (main camera). Cheaper flash units have a guide range lower than the Canon 7D (guide range 39). Question is...

    Safely on Newton Lane then walk with great care to the viewing point on the A5. You might like to check that your life insurance is up to date prior to undertaking this venture ;)
