    Willow tit or Marsh Tit?

    It was at Rufford Country Park in Nottinghamshire. I went there for Hawfinches, I did see a few but only for a minute or two before they flew off, but I was speaking to a man who said he came to Rufford to see the Willow Tit. If this is it I'm unsure. Thanks for your help.

    Mallorca 2016

    Hi Folks Regarding the Yellowhammer I saw it on 09.05.16 at Albuferata. I have seen many here in England but it could have been a very yellow Cirl Bunting, I cannot really remember. I have no proof as I don't have a camera but my son saw it as well and he also said yellowhammer.

    I saw it on Monday 22nd at Flitcham. At the barns on the Flitcham to Docking Road just outside Flitcham. Very good views it was eating a little bird it had caught in the hedgerow along the side of the road. It was on the floor about 50 yards from us.

    Has anyone used Photospecialist from Holland?

    Well ordered a pair of 10x50 EL Swarovisions and they came within 4 days, and saved me £400. Nothing but good praise for PhotoSpecialists.

    Filter thread size

    That's a shame, I thought they did. I suppose you could make your own lens shade and get a step down ring so you can mount 2" filters to it. Thanks

    Filter thread size

    I'm considering buying a pair of 10x50 EL Swarovisions and was wondering what size is the filter thread. Reason being apart from bird watching they will be used for star gazing and I have a pair of nebula filters I would like to use with them. TIA

    Nottinghamshire Birding

    They have been at Budby Common for about 2 weeks now, I saw them on Sunday and there were 14 of them then. They normally breed between Jan and March so perhaps they will stay, as there is plenty of food in the area.
