    Canon S95

    Just thought I would let others know that Amazon are now doing this camera for £199. I have just purchased a second hand P5100 so sadly I can't risk it! Still seems like a good camera for digiscoping and looking back through posts the pictures are very good.

    Cape May & New York June 2012.

    A trip that came from nowhere really as I had no real desire to go to the States but having spoke to Pete Dunne I realised he could sell ice to Eskimos. Two very different places that made for a very enjoyable, and relaxing birding place where I unusually allowed myself to be a tourist when in...

    Algarve 3rd-17th Oct 2011 (just in case you need another)

    Having settled for Portugal I can say I was gobsmacked at the amount of birds in both species and quantity. I feel I could have done much better with more luck and better judgement. I have been putting together a trip report and intend to add more detail with text shortly. For those willing to...

    Tavira Saltpans

    Could anybody give advice on (mapped on google earth if possible) where the place referred to as Tavira Salpans is? Does it have several names etc? Any help would be appreciated as this spot is hopefully close to where I am staying this Oct. Thanks.

    Ebird Listing Software

    I thought I would just make mention of this piece of free online listing software. I noted it has been discussed a while back but I never got around to using it.

    Wildlife Recorder - Voice Recognition

    I have used this program for some years and the voice recognition with windows XP worked like a treat. I upgraded the computer to win 7 and the voice recognition is just horrendous.

    Gitzo Tripod?

    I am looking at the Gitzo range of tripods for my Zeiss 85 scope with Nikon P5100 stuck on the end but I will be honest I am lost as regards which tripod to choose. I would like a 3 section as I am only a shorty and the Carbon Fiber is the one I would like. The problem is which one? At a guess...

    New Gitzo Head

    I was heartened to hear that a new tripod head to replace the soon to be defunct 2380 was coming out. No details were given although I did try to get more. If something with the features of the 2380 yet that weighs more like a 2180 were released then for me at least, I will have found my holy...

    Martin Mere Bunny Boiler

    Today my wife and I decided to have a day at Martin Mere. This was a day of "enjoying" the birds so we left all our cameras and scopes at home and ventured out with just our bins. A leisurely start with a cuppa and then a walk around the mere that we never normally venture into due to all the...
