    Warbler help please

    Can someone help identify a “warbler” I saw this morning in South Leeds near Middleton Woods. The bird was about the same size as a Dunnock and the body was a dark slate grey except for the chest which was blue grey. The bird song was like a Grasshopper Warbler but played at a slower speed...

    Bassenthwaite Kite

    Optics question

    Beautiful clear night here and I did see the moons when I used the tripod but I wasn’t impressed the better view was with the binoculars. I didn’t buy the scope to look at the stars I bought it for the birding and I am very happy with it for that but now the trouble is I seem to have got the sky...

    Optics question

    Hi this isn’t exactly a bird watching question but an optics one. For my bird watching I use a pair of Nikon Monarch 8X36 binoculars and a Nikon ED50 scope both of which I am very pleased with. In the eastern night sky at the moment is Jupiter and on a clear night I can see through my binoculars...

    I was walking at Spurn Point today and as I was going through the bush I flushed a bird with bright yellow under wings about the size of a blackbird and in flight it had the silhouette of a snipe? Any ideas
