    My central focus on my Conquest 8x30 that I had bought second hand had somehow become stuck so sent the bins into Zeiss. They sent me an email explaining that they had recieved the bins. Within a week I had them back with both focus wheels fixed and a general service! Excellent service all under...

    FZ38 Custom mode advice

    Hi I am very new to photography. I would like to know on the 3 custom settings (C on the wheel) how to actually save these settings? I cant figure it out. Essentially what I would like is to have at least one of them with a manual focus option and the other settings i.e ISO, shutter speed etc...

    'Birder' or 'photographer' it is not in the interest of schedule 1 species to be advertised on this site especially at this time of the year. I know of at least one site last year where the chicks were taken prior to fledging. This was a site that was regulary featured on a local sightings...

    Online Bird Guide for iPod?

    As per my above post and in reply to javva I've posted feedback on the apps site. I think this is a really useful product and have been hoping for something like on the iphone since I got it. However, I rushed in and was slightly dissappointed with the range of species. It needs to update to...

    Online Bird Guide for iPod?

    I down loaded this app yesterday and on first looks it appears very good. Easy to navigate and scroll through. Birdguides have done a good job with this. Essentially it is a mini version of the BWP concise version. With both illustrations and text from the book. Calls are there for most species...

    I stand to be corrected but there was a Pied Wheatear around the Preston area and it may have been that time? Im not at home presently but will look it up.

    Just to add to the above. Whilst working a night shift in Torquay last night between 2200hrs and at least 0100hrs there were lots of Redwing calling overhead I counted 5 calls per minute as an average when I was able to.
