    Hmmmm....... If the person in question really owns a pager then I would find it very hard to believe that they have never ever been to see ‘someone else’s birds’ ?!..... Really ??

    Truly Inspirational !!

    Hi MSA, thanks for your support and generous donation on Roy’s fundraising page, it will be very much appreciated I’m sure. Roy is a modest bloke but he has a few friends who feel strongly that the world needs to know his story. I think a few of us are secretly working away in the background to...

    Truly Inspirational !!

    I didn't know where to post this so I thought I'd put it here.... An amazing guy reacting so positively in what must be an extremely difficult situation for anyone to deal with. He is a keen birder trying to raise awareness regarding disabled access in the countryside...

    Rare and Scarce Birds in Staffordshire

    I was back home in Staffs this week to visit my family for a couple of days. I dropped in to see the nearby waxwings in Lichfield and they didn’t disappoint. It was real treat to be surrounded by trilling calls and have these little stunners feeding all around us. Whilst driving around I...

    Just taken a look at this. It is true many sheeple bored of following the flock are turning their backs on the listing and twitching thing in favour of patch birding. There is a lot to be said for that. I like the idea of a blog where keen local patchers can share experiences, highs and lows...

    Yep, the wardens have sorted out some daytime access to the area, just got back and its showing well again.:t: The 6pm rustic boat is still running for anyone interested, this is the latest boat today ?? It goes direct and doesn't involve a 3 hour tour of the islands !

    Rustic Bunting Update Hi all The Rustic Bunting is still on Inner Farne but it is not viewable from public areas, so not really do-able on a standard boat trip. Andrew at Serenity Boats is running a 6pm trip again which will let you have access to the area where the bunting is (after the...

    Northumbrian Birding

    Hi Brian Try asking Andrew at Serenity boat tours, he'll know if the bird is still there this morning and last week he left my mate on there for 2-3 hours to photograph the birds. He is really into his birds and always keen to help, he took us over last night to see it...

    Hoax rarities... So, it sounds like this rare bird hoaxer has been rumbled then..... Let’s face it, using your own mobile phone to report make believe rarities to a host of different bird news services is a supremely idiotic thing to do !..... An excellent candidate for the Darwin awards I’d...

    So, it sounds like this rare bird hoaxer has been rumbled then..... Let’s face it, using your own mobile phone to report make believe rarities to a host of different bird news services is a supremely idiotic thing to do !..... An excellent candidate for the Darwin awards I’d say !! Anyway I...

    And there's a good few of those idiots up here !! Having encountered them myself on a number of occasions I think people are perfectly within their rights to suppress any potential breeding attempt of rarer species, I certainly would. You just need to look at the recent incidents in the north...

    Panasonic Lumix LX3 adapted for Leica 65/82 scopes

    Hi Steve This is impressive looking, simple and very neatly made, and I like your thinking re - using the original lens cap ! Just the sort of thing I need to look at, however my old F31d finepix does not have a thread on it for a fixed collar.... How have you got on with it anyway ? Is the...

    More appalling service from Leica

    Hi All I have in the last 15 years owned 2 leica scopes (televid 77 and APO televid 62), and 1 pair of leica 8x32BA’s that I still use to this day. Like many on here I have had problems with leica over the years, my bins have been back 3 times (stiff focussing), my televid 77 went back once...

    Leica APO 65 & old Fuji F31d ?

    Thanks for your reply Steve. I currently use the F31d with a fixed 32WW eyepiece just straight through, I never zoom on the camera at all (unless I need a record shot of something distant). I find the images are good quality for a cheap camera, and there is zero vignetting. But as soon as you...

    Leica APO 65 & old Fuji F31d ?

    Hi all Just wondering if anyone has ever tried this combination ? I currently use the old F31d with my 62 APO and 32WW eyepiece and I am very happy with simplicity of use (I've made my own simple collar for quick use) and the results. The newer 65 APO only seems to come with the zoom...

    Was sat checking my e-mails this morning when I heard it calling (all a bit strange !). I looked up to see it was circling over the house. It circled quite low and drifted northwards.
