    Bempton Cliffs

    Hi Barry, not visited Filey Animal Park but I would think its more of a children's park. You will enjoy Bempton. I could not get this years, still recovering from a recently broken ankle. Perhaps you may get some other replies from BF members. Farne Islands are worth a visit, we had a cottage in...

    kowa 611

    Eddie You get what you pay for. Back in 2003 I purchased this scope for my first attempt at digiscoping. After using this for a year, I decided to go for the Swaro 80HD there was a difference between night and day in image quality. If you can afford the best, my advice, don't waste your money. I...

    Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS II USM advice

    Hi George, there was a member selling a 400 f2.8 a couple of weeks ago, looked like a tidy lens. I can tell you they are big and heavy I saw a photographer at Cadwell last year, I asked, is that a 600, he said No 400 f2.8..what a piece of kit but that one had been really knocked about, think one...

    lens/camera connection

    Rob is right, he loaned me his MK3 for testing this is when I discovered the grub screws had come loose the second time it happened I fixed them with lock tight but I still check them they have not come loose since. Roy.

    lens/camera connection

    Sean Don't worry about that movement that is normal. But I would advise you keep a check on those small screws in the converters, I have both TC's same lens but I use the 1.4x mostly those screws have come loose twice they have since been treated with lock tight. I recentley sold the 7D, still...

    Annoying birding conversations in hides

    I agree, great comment...Especially Ness Hide Far Ings, banging door as they come and out. You should be there in school holidays when a gang of kids arrive accompanied with a teacher who should have given the children some tips, how to keep quite, not to run up and down. Its obvieous some of...

    Donna Nook Seals

    John I agree what you say about the public, many years ago before they introduced that fence the seals had free access inland before you had to be aware when walking through the dunes. They could put that fence higher on the sea bank but suggesting that this is public land they are going to have...

    Donna Nook Seals

    I received this notice this morning. In my opinion this desaster has been just waiting to happen since they installed that fence stopping the Seals moving inland from the tide edge. 20 to 30 years ago you had to be aware of Seals being hidden in the sand dunes, now they have no where to go in...

    Farne Island information

    From experience, I rented a cottage for a week in Sea Houses starting May 13 2005. I did the full birding trip to the islands. Having done this I would go later in early June. Many of the Puffin's were under ground on eggs, got lots of pictures, birds are in your face, brilliant place but I...

    Monopod for Canon 300mm f2.8

    Hi Sean, would agree with UH....I have the 300 f2.8 used it on a ball head manfrotto mono pod..I now use it on the Jobu HD Black Widow, I am also waiting for a carbon fibre Velbon to be delivered from China. My mate Lensmaster Gimble does a good job if you don't want to purchase a Jobo but I am...

    Blackbirds fall from Arkansas Sky

    My guess, I would think they were sucked up from a roost by that tornado to high altitude causing them to die from lack of oxygen...From what I saw they looked like our Starlings, I have seen them in Florida they don't look much different to our native Starlings. Hopefully they will find the...
