    Hi all, Off to Taiwan in March. If any of you have been recently, it would be much appreciated if you could share info regarding feeding stations, road closures, sites for the more difficult target species and up to date info regarding getting to Lanyu/Orchid Island. For instance, it seems...

    Waterproof camera bag for Canon 400mm DO lens

    Hi all, I would like to buy a waterproof camera bag for my Canon 7Dii coupled with a Canon 400mm DO lens (or 300mm f2.8) . I have a Lowepro Flipside 500 AW which is far too big for carrying around whilst birding. I'd be happy with something much smaller and I don't mind reversing the lens hood...

    Shetland Accommodation now available in October this year

    Hi all - I had provisionally booked accommodation at Hannigarth on Unst but I am now staying somewhere else. As such, it is available for the week beginning 1st/2nd October. Cost is £380 for the week but note that the property does not have wifi. It is very basic in general. Perhaps ideal for...

    Budget Cruise to the Antarctic

    Hi all, If I booked one of these at a cost of £1,548 + excursions, eg, circa £200 on the Falklands, how much would I miss compared to the trips costing up to and even over £10k? Obviously I'd miss the South Georgia stuff, but apart from that...

    Large Bat over Walberswick

    Hi all, Whilst waiting for a sonogram and DNA tick at Walberswick yesterday, one of the guys present spotted a large bat feeding high over woodland. I would say that the feeding action wasn't as measured as Noctule and it was a bit flappy. Probably slightly smaller too. What are the options...

    Philippines from 11th Jan 2019

    Hi all, Three of us were due to head off to the Philippines in January but it seems likely that one of the crew may no longer be able to go due to personal reasons. As such, I’m tentatively looking for a replacement just in case he decides later this week that he shouldn’t go. We were just...

    Ghana Ashanti lead birding trip 18th February to 6th March

    Hi all, If anyone is looking to plan a trip early in the New Year, I would thoroughly recommend an Ashanti lead tour in Ghana. Ashanti also help all or nearly all the big tour companies. Their guides, especially James Ntakor, are exceptional :t: I'll post the trip details and some photos over...

    Duinrell, Netherlands. Any birding sites nearby?

    Hi all, Yup, it's time for hell. A family holiday. Any birding sites nearby where I can perhaps go and weep quietly for an hour or two between being bumped into repeatedly in an over-crowded swimming pool, putting up with loud unruly teens keeping everyone awake till 3am and sleeping on mouldy...

    Ghana Feb 2017

    Hi all, Bit of a long shot at short notice but due to one person dropping out for medical reasons I need one more person to make a trip to Ghana cost effective. The trip will cost £2500 all in including flights for 15 nights. We would arrive in Accra at 19:50pm on Saturday 18th Feb. We would...

    Carry Bag for Canon DO 400mm and 1D Mk3

    Hi all, I'm after a suitable carry bag (rucksack type) to carry the above combo. Ideally I'd want a bag that fits this combo when they attached plus the hood. Lowepro do some reasonable bags for around £60. What does everyone use/recommend? I'd also want one that can be used as hand...

    recent Micros Dartford

    Hi all, No amount of Googling has helped me to find matches for these. They are all distinct, it would seem. The agonopterix looks easy but the white spots seem to rule of aranella. Could it be a yeatinia? Cheers, Andy.

    Green Pug?

    Having had a nice 'green' Green Pug earlier in the week, I then caught this one last night. The Grey central bar seems to rule out anything else. Is that correct? Cheers, Andy.

    Turtle Dove, Kent

    Hi all, I've been sent these images this morning of a Turtle Dove photographed in Kent within the last day or two. The centres in both moulted and unmoulted scapulars are rather broad and dark perhaps? But also note the white ventral region and pale tipped primary coverts. I can probably...

    Hi all, One is probably just a H. Rufescens whilst the other may be Acleris Schalleriana. Comments appreciated. Thanks, Andy.

    Eucosmomorpha Albersana?

    This rather bright and seemingly easy to ID micro has me almost stumped. I can find a perfect match on just one website (see thread title) but it is a May-June flier. Any other suggestions? Caught 3 nights ago. Cheers, Andy.

    Ortholepis Betulae

    Pempelia formosa

    Hi all, Is the attached this: http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=1445 this: http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=1447 Or the old favourite: http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=1470 Quite fancy it's the former which I don't think is in Lewington..... Cheers, Andy.

    Pugs, Dartford, 21-7-14

    Hi all, 4 pugs for ID. I reckon 2 are Plain, 1 is Yarrow and the other is a Wormwood without the white spot (so could fool me into being something rarer). Cheers, Andy.

    Pug

    This rather small, straight edged pug from 2 nights ago has me scratching my head. Is it a rather small, poorly marked Green Pug? Or is it a NFG Shaded Pug? Cheers, Andy.

    Luquetia Lobella

    Hi all, Trapped this micro in mid-May. On shape, I can't find anything that it fits other than Luquetia Lobella. What else could it be? Cheers, Andy
