    Canon G7X Digiscoping

    Seemingly having the same spec as the Sony RX100 I'm a little confused as to why the Canon G7X doesn't appear among the dying breed of digiscoping compacts. Is this camera totally unsuitable for digiscoping?

    Ruddy Duck Cull

    My local patch will be getting a visit from the nice people of DEFRA on Friday. Any thoughts on how I could make sure their visit is as fruitless as possible?

    Goa Sandplovers

    My boss was just showing me this pic of Kentish Plovers. I pointed out to him that there is infact (in my opinion) 2 species of Sandplover (Lesser and Greater and Kentish Plover nin the pic.

    Samsung NV3 Digiscoping adaptor FREE

    Not actually free in the true sense of the word but it is likely that the established digiscoper will already have the parts to make one. I bought an NV3 with the intention of using it adaptor free against my Swarovski AT80HD. This is indeed possible and the results are quite impressive, even...

    Old and New Swaro' Eyepieces

    I have recently accuired a brand new condition AT80. I was wondering how the 20-60X and 30ww on this scope compare with the new eyepieces and if anyone would consider trading up. Mark

    Velbon 635 EL from Hilton Photographic Hull

    After having two 631 EL's on order from Jessops (for six weeks) they decide to tell me that the item was no longer available and infact discontinued. As they offered me no alternative I decided to trawl the net for a 635 EL (the replacement). I came across Hilton Photographic who were selling...

    Sick 995

    My 995 has recently taken a turn for the worse. I should however point out that several months back it took a brief dip in the local dragonfly pond!! However despite this the only malfunction (after drying out) was the flash, which ceased to operate. I continued to use the camera with little...

    Dullest Spring Ever?

    Is it me or has this, so far, been the dullest spring in my birding lifetime (25 years). No I'm not just bleating on about the lack of rare birds, but the general lack of overshoot migrants Golden Orioles, Bluethroats etc. So far today I have had only 8 pager messages 4 of which were the BW...

    Belkin USB Anywhere

    Recently my laptop took its 2nd and final tumble off the table and was written off by those nice people who like to quote you happy. After salvaging the hard drive, and selling the remainder on ebay, I bought a 2.5" hard drive enclosure off ebay (for just £8). Bingo I now have a 30Gb...

    A dose of the Shet's

    I'm finally getting the chance to spend part of the Autumn on the Shetlands albeit one week, but no doubt a full on dawn till dusk birdathon. I'll be there from the 1st - 8th October so hopefully it will live up to its expectations. Staying with a very good friend of mine, who recently bought...

    Spotshank turns in local trapper.

    Whilst at my local patch (Rother Valley Country Park), myself and one of the other regulars were reminiscing about days gone by. I recalled a Spotted Redshank that we had had some years ago. There was nothing unusual about this bird other than the fact that it was present for around a...

    Panasonic FZ20 is it worth it.

    Panasonic FZ20 is it worth it? I am considering buying a Panasonic FZ20 and wondered what other users think about this camera. The reason for puchasing will be for the superb zoom qualities that this camera has. I don't want to go down the SLR road due to the cost and the incredible weight. I...

    Speyside and Mull

    This weekend the family and I will be visiting Northumberland, followed by a three day trip to Speyside and two days on Mull. The Speyside 'stuff' I think I'm alright with, but could do with a less arduous site for Dotterel and Ptarmigan. Any info for Mull would be gratefully received as I've...

    Micro Direct don't touch them.

    Any of you considering purchasing PC items from MICRO DIRECT think twice. Over the Christmas Holiday I bought a 17" TFT monitor for £140 from them a bargain? After it had been on for 30 mins' a line of dead pixels appeared on it. After speaking to a customer advisor they suggested that I...

    Worlds youngest digiscoper

    Could this be the worlds youngest Digiscoper. There I was showing my, six year old, daughter a few ducks and a cormorant when she whipped out the Kodak and held it up to the scope. The resulting photo attached. She also nicked my notebook and cane up with a sketch of a drake Teal complete...

    Scillonian Pelagic 2005

    A bit early in the year to start thinking about this one I know, but I was sorting out my leave for this year. Anyway I had set aside four days in August for me and the family to go down to Cornwall. Whilst there I was going on the Pelagic whilst the wife and daughter spent the day on the...
