    Captur Wireless Remote Trigger

    Hi, Wonder if anyone can help me please. I have a Captur wireless remote trigger which was working fine last time I used it. But now, the piece with the shutter button on it has a red light where it used to be green and doesn't fire the shutter. I've replaced the batteries but that hasn't...

    Little Owl Nest site disturbance

    Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a penalty for anyone disturbing the nesting site of little owls? A local farmer had some owls nesting in one of the farm building and they've nested there for years. But this year, although the adults have been seen regularly flying to & from the nest...

    Hi Mike C, Thanks for the info. I might try it out anyway and see how it goes as although we can hear the song the singer is much harder to find!!! Thanks for your time. Eazyglider

    Bird Recognition App

    Hi All, Does anyone know whether there is an App available for iPhone which will give UK wild bird recognition from their song. I'd like to be able to let the phone 'listen' to the song and then identify the singer. Not sure whether this is something which might be available but am sure...

    Binocular Repairs

    Just an update on this thread. I've returned the binos to the RSPB site where I purchased them on 3rd March. They were to return them to Viking who should call me with an estimate for repair prior to going ahead with anything. They are still in the warranty period but I don't have the receipt...

    Binocular Repairs

    Hi, Can anyone suggest where I could get some RSPB (WPG) 8.5 x 42 binos repaired? I've had them about 8 years now and suddenly I can't get them to focus on both sides. If I focus on one side the other is blurred. I'm near York. Thanks in anticipation of any suggestions.

    CamRanger

    Hi All, Has anyone used the CamRanger to create a wifi area so you can access your camera settings from a tablet or smartphone? I wondered if anyone had used it for wildlife and whether it was successful or whether it's best to stick with a remote shutter and hope the settings are correct...

    Strange Bird - help please

    Hi All, Thanks for your suggestions. I've shown pics of a Jay to the guy who saw the bird and he's pretty convinced that's what they were - he never mentioned the blue on the wings or I would have guessed Jay straight away. So he's settled on Jay. Thanks again. Eazyglider

    Strange Bird - help please

    Hi Everyone, I hope someone out there with more knowledge than I could help identify a bird seen in the Pudsey area of Leeds over the weekend. They were magpie/jackdaw size with identical colours and markings to a Hoopoe but without the crest and a much shorter beak than the Hoopoe. There...

    I can hear the motor run on for 3-4 seconds after I've taken my finger off the shutter button. It didn't do this before.

    500mm F4L IS USM mk i USM problem

    Hi All, I have the Canon 500mm F4L IS USM mk i which I bought in April 2011 so it's out of warranty now. I use this with the 1D mk iv body. I have just started to experience the USM 'running on' after it's focussed on the subject for a few seconds. It does focus OK but you can hear that...
