    Nest Dismantling

    The link below is to my Picasa web album showing the progress of a Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike nest. The nest was about 15 metres from my dining room window ands I had a spotting scope permanently set up on the dining table. The photos were taken from a point about 10 metres from the nest. The...

    Zen-Ray ED Spotting Scope

    Now that I have my Zen-Ray 8x43ED binoculars, next on my wish list is a similar quality and well priced spotting scope! Hopefully we might see one on offer in the near future.

    Trouble uploading profile picture

    Canon Powershot SX10 IS or Sony DSLR A200

    Last year I lost my Canon Powershot S3IS (in a taxi in Hong Kong) and bought a Sony A200 twin lense kit. I love the camera but the lenses are very ordinary. The 75-300 doesn't get as photos as sharp as the Canon used too. And despite being a huge lense, is only effectively as 7 times zoom...
