Just how does Fred Bloggs, Joe Public or Nellie Mackintosh tell whether or not wildlife crime may have taken place? Is it enough that a pair of raptors disappear? Lots of dead...

    Transferring pictures in field

    I use a Nikon Coolpix 4500 in the field. Wonder if anyone has tried to transfer images directly to one of those USB-pen things when their CF-card(s) is/are full. Does it work? How do you do it? Grateful for any tips and advice. SW

    A little tip for anyone who owns Nikon High Grade / Venturer 32 mm models (8x32 or 10x32): In order to afford extra protection to the objective lenses then it may be of interest that Swarovski have integral objective covers (the kind that can be attached to the barrels and which hang...
