    Unknown warbler? (Rainham Marshes)

    All the pictures I gave show a distinctive eye stripe - I guess this one could be a juv?

    Collins Field Guide on PocketPC

    Wish I had a faster PDA though. It takes ages to record a sighting (painfully slow) and go back to the home page again.

    Visiting Elmley tomorrow - suggestions?

    Thanks guys. I took my binoculars and camera with long lens. I should've taken my scope instead of the camera - most of the birds were a long way off, and I know I missed loads. I did get some good photos, but after 6 hours, left Elmsley disappointed. Taking a camera at the expense of a...

    Best UK birdwatching holiday site?

    I can beat that... On our honeymoon we went 'sabbing'. In our early twenties we were Hunt Sabboteurs, going out on fox hunts to protest. Our friends thought we were nuts. We probably were...but we were in love!

    Best UK birdwatching holiday site?

    Next year, me and the missus want to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary with a really good UK wildlife holiday . Can anyone suggest a suitable location? This year we went to Farne (fantastic) and we have been thinking about Islay for 2008 (Simon King has done a good selling job on...

    What to take to Farne Island?

    Hmmm...the roadworks slowed us down for a bit, but we didn't hit any bad traffic until the journey back when we decided to use the M25!! Need I say more?

    What to take to Farne Island?

    Hi Ruby - you'll have a great time. From Sutton, we travelled across London via the South Circular and hit the MI at it's start. We stayed on M1 to Leeds where we stopped in a Travel Lodge (Leeds Coulton). I hate driving, so we split the journey up with overnight stays. M1 to A1 for the...

    What to take to Farne Island?

    Thanks guys Thanks guys for all your help, we had a great time, even though the waether was a bit chilly! I took DSLR & camcorder, got some great video of missus being dived bombed! Got some great photos too (see attached). The boat was packed, and although we got there early to buy our...

    What to take to Farne Island?

    Thanks guys What about the boat service - is it ever that busy that I'll need to book in advance? I'm going for the all-day/dual island trip

    What to take to Farne Island?

    I'm off to Farne Island for the first time next week and I have a couple of questions about what to take with me. 1. Is it worth taking a scope, just bins, or both? 2. Do I need to protect my camera equipment from the arial bombardment ie: 'droppings' ?

    Selling 400mm

    I am thinking about selling my 400mm f5.6L USM and the 1.4X teleconverter. Is this forum a good place to sell (don't like EBAY), if not, what would be better? Can anyone suggest a fair price? They are both just under 12 months old in mint condition Ta

    Can a feeder's colour affect its popularity?

    I have another feeder (not shown in the picture) even lower, they have been using for the last two years. It is neither green or blue - it's light grey!

    Can a feeder's colour affect its popularity?

    I have changed the seeds round. I've put the cheaper mixed seed in the smaller green feeder (their favourite) - and the nutritious sunflower hearts in the new large blue feeder (the one they don't like). Guess what? They still won't eat from the new feeder - preferring to stick with the...

    Can a feeder's colour affect its popularity?

    It's 1/3 empty because I was getting tired of throwing away so much mouldy, uneaten seed. Why fill it full, when I may have to discard it yet again? The mystery remains though...why don't they use it? Puzzling!

    Can a feeder's colour affect its popularity?

    I have birds feeding regularly from different feeders in the garden - but about 6 weeks ago I hung up a new one which has been totally ignored by all the birds. All the others are green and this one is blue, could the colour have anything to do with it? Any thoughts? See photo attached...

    Visiting the Farne Islands

    This is good guys, thanks for the feedback. I've never been this far north before (I can hear all your gasps!), and its all a bit of a mystery to me. Looks like we'll try and go mid-June.

    Visiting the Farne Islands

    We're hoping to visit the Farne Islands in 2007. Could anyone suggest the best time to go? A recommendation of a good place to stay (for me & the missus) would be useful too.

    How long will my DSLR last

    Which is why when I bought my Canon EOS 350D instead of the highly attractive, but more expensive 30D, I did it without any regret. Why spend the extra money - when I'd only have to replace it in a rediculously short amount of time. And when I do, I'm sure the new model will have everything...
