    Any phone to any optics adapter - Carson HookUpz

    Not sure if many people know about this or have one but just throwing putting it out there that this is a handy and easy bit of kit to use. While not being the most small and lightweight, it is pretty quick and easy once you get used to it. And best of all, if you change your phone or your scope...

    Android apps for digiscoping

    Have jumped ship from iOS to Android... Went for the Xperia Z5 compact as it's a size I am used to. Can anyone recommend good camera apps? Don't need the editing software as I have snapseed. Would like an app that let's me lock focus and aperture so I can manually focus with the scope. Advice...

    Is this the future of PhoneScoping?

    Anyone seen this or better yet tried it with their iPhone 6/6s? http://www.dxo.com/us/dxo-one Couldn't see if it had optical zoom so assume it doesn't which is shame as this would make it the ultimate pocket digiscoping kit!

    Black Brant - Hybrids or real deal? RSPB Frampton Marsh

    Hello, Not seen many Brants (1 isn't many) so cautious, maybe overly so, with ID. Having read blogs and ID posts it seems that gen Black Brants are allowed very little variation to be accepted, yet there is a huge amount of variability within dark bellied birds. Why can't Brants vary as much...

    Later tern at Cut End Lincolnshire 6th and 7th of November

    Anyone have any ideas? Longer legs rule out Arctic I think? Not sure if the black droopy bill is real or just the light and conditions.

    iScoping photoshop apps

    As much as I would like to take the perfect picture and upload it to twitter, using a phone camera has its limitations and so to counter those there are some post processing apps out there. Best ones I've come across are Snapseed and tadaa but there are plenty to choose from. There are plenty...

    iScoping camera apps

    So now you have an adapter (or are doing it handheld) you may want to get the best out of your phone and there are some apps out there to help you do that. This is more a list of apps I've downloaded rather than thoroughly field tested and as such I don't really have lots of experience of any...

    All iScoping/mobile adapter questions and queries... And hopefully some answers too

    I suppose seeing as I asked for this sub forum that I actually try and make it do what I hoped it would do and be a reference for all those iScopers out there. Apologies to those that have Android devices but I can't comment on adapters or anything else as I have an iPhone so please excuse...

    Seperate iScoping sub Forum?

    Have been doing some looking around and it seems that there is no designated area to discuss mobile/iPhone digiscoping. Lots of posters are asking for advice on the subject (digiscoping cameras/digiscoping adapters/in seperate optics forums) and I wondered if there would be support/interest to...

    4 way camera show down - users of Sony RX/Canon S model/Nikon P330+V1 please comment

    Want/need to get into digiscoping, both for work, pleasure, ID/record shots and quality images for website. I would like to be able to take record shots at distance for ID and read rings, to take high quality video and just good quality stills to illustrate my weekly sightings blog (so not mega...

    Rare and Scarce birds in the Teesmouth Area

    I have pinched this thread idea from a few other Forums where, while not being the busiest of threads, still has a good following and provides a useful service and allows information to be found and shared quickly. Cleveland has always been an incredible place for good quality birds and with...

    Field guide to the birds of Kazakhstan?

    Have had a search on here but not been able to find anything. Have seen there was something done in Dutch birding. Is this worth trying to get hold of or does anyone have any other recommendations? Any help or advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Birdwachers Diary for iPhone

    Does anyone use this regularly? Is there anyway to make your own lists easily without deleting individually from the main list, ie for webs counts, summer and winter patch, seawatching etc? Any help or pointers much appreciated.

    Seaton Tip and Seaton Common gulling - Winter 2011/12

    With the ammount of bodies and cars along the Zinc Works Road it seems there may be enough interest to get this thread going. This area must be one of, if not the best site to watch gulls in the North East. Like the Rainton Redpoll's last winter there's a chance we won't know the real number...

    Colour ringed Herring Gull

    City birding

    Have wangled a trip for a week to Sri Lanka with my better half from the 10th of this month. While she's working I'll be birding. Will mostly be daylight stuff between 9am and 4pm and I'll be based in Columbo. Can anyone advise on sites within reach during this time and the best travel...

    Artificial lepidoptera garden

    Hello Apologies if this is very lazy post but have been looking all over and got lots of ideas/recipes/designs but not sure if any actually work. I am wanting to create an artificial butterfly patch just north on the reserve which is just north of Middlesbrough. I'm not after anything special...

    Quail sp. in Seaton Carew garden, Cleveland

    Can any of you well travelled ladies and gents identify this? A local couple brought these pictures in yesterday after they saw the White-throated Robin and wondered if they could get in on the action. It was in their garden very briefly and these are the only 2 pictures they got.

    'Grey' Yellow Wagtail - Teesside May 2011

    This bird is currently holding territory at RSPB Saltholme. This thread http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=169438 has some discussion from last year about another grey backed bird on the reserve in 2010 and 2009. This bird looks more similar to the 2009 bird than the brighter 2010 bird...

    Pale White Wagtail

    Got stopped in my tracks by the paleness of this bird at RSPB Saltholme the other day (9th May). I'm sure it's nothing too unusual but just thought I'd share it and see if anyone else has seen anything similar on their travels.

    Mino HD Flip

    I got this as an unexpected present from my Mum a week ago, had a play with it on my Kowa 883 yesterday and was very impressed with the results. I used it with the 20-60 and when fine tuned gave some grea images at pretty reasonable distances. Had a group of fox cubs in focus and of good size in...

    Birdguides 'Birds of Britain' app

    Have done a quick search but found nothing so not sure if this topic has been raised, apologies if it's old ground. A visitor on the reserve had this on his phone and it looks like a pretty handy bit of kit to have when asked questions on the spot about birds on site and to be used with guided...
