Know how you feel. At least you get bird news! All I have missed up here is a Sooty Shearwater :t:
Right then all you photographers, I would like to pick your brains for a little advice. After seeing some of the fantastic digiscoped images on this thread and various other places I have decided to take a tentative step into the world of photography. I have bought a shiny new scope today (Opticron ES80 GA ED with 20-60 HDF eyepiece) but dont have a clue what bits and bats I need to have a reasonable crack at digiscoping. A camera would be a start I reckon. Would anyone be able to recommend a camera/adapter combination which may work well with my scope? If not, what sort of things do I need to be looking for to identify a suitable digiscoping camera? (lens/zoom etc?)
My top budget would be £200 for the lot. Perhaps a bit measly but the scope has nearly cleaned me out!
Many thanks in advance
I wonder how many people have ticked Collared Fly after seeing a Pied?
Andy, was you the guy in the hat, I think I was stood next to you, in a blue fleece jacket

I'd be just as annoyed the other way I think - Pied Fly's my yearlist bogey this year,
camera/adapter kit for £269 for Opticron which includes a Panasonic Lumix FS10
I must have seen about a dozen at Spurn on Friday. They are pretty much guaranteed there this week I reckon.
