    Shents Scribbles

    I did have a thread a few Hundred pages down but as I hadnt produced much since my first thread ( whats this a pencil ) I decided begin another and hopefully I will contribute a little more.

    RSPB changing

    It is perhaps just myself but I feel RSPB just isn't what it used to be for birders. I have been a member for longer than I care to remember but late evening begging calls and a swing away from the Royal Society for the protection of birds has got me thinking of supporting the BTO. Even the...

    Opticron Revamp

    I have a ES 80 GA ED and have recently thinking about upgrading but to be honest I have always thought the scope excellent for the pennies. The lens now does seen to lack some coating on it and has quite a few scratches ( very fine ) but not noticeable when looking through the eyepiece. Is it...

    Sparrow Hawk Mouse Hunting

    Ive had a Hawk in the garden for a few weeks, the pair have hunted in the garden for years in the typical flyby attacks.

    Staffs Species in 1 day

    I'm sure a few of you have tried to see how many species you can clock in 24 hours without venturing out of Gods County. I have never tried in Staffordshire alone, but I'm going to give it a go in May when most summer species will be back. Does anyone have any records of species seen in 1 day. I...

    Panasonic FS7 v Samsung nv15

    I have bought a camera adapter for my Opticron only to find my old digy wasnt up to the job. I had a quick look at the Opticron site and they seen to have swayed away from samsung and gone with the FS7.
