    Tree Sparrows

    Just a quick question. I am still a real novice, and happened to see the Bill Oddie's programme on Beeb 2 this afternoon. He mentioned that tree sparrows are now quite rare, and that the only place that you are guaranteed to see them is the Rutland Water Reserve??? I have 6-10 that visit my...

    Comment by 'Frosty' in media 'ID Please'

    Thanks for all your replies - it was back again today and turned around to show its golden tail feathers - so it must be a Juv Goldfinch! http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gary.pickering/DSCN3991%20copy1.jpg Cheers Gary

    Can anyone ID this please!

    I popped out to my garden shed last night, it was quite late and by the light of my mobile phone spotted this! I apologise for the focus but it was pitch black! I would estimate its length to be 6-8 inch (15-20cm). It was very slow moving, but appeared by its shape and size to be preganent...

    Optolyth TBG80 - CP 4500

    How did you get on then? In answer to your response - not long. I bought the gear about two weeks ago and that was the first day with decent weather. I would guess that about 1 in 10 shots are sharp, in focus and don't suffer from camera shake. I have since bought an adapter (eagle eye) but the...

    A bit of advice please - CP4500

    I have just bought a CP4500 - my first digital camera, and noticed the same re-occuring blue/green spot on all photos. After a little web-surfing I came across the term 'stuck-pixel'. I will be speaking to the retailer and Nikon but would like some expert advice on how many pixels you think are...

    Optolyth TBG80 - CP 4500

    Hello all, I'm very new to this digiscoping business but am finding it facinating. I was looking to buy a digital camera in any case, and my friend had the above scope not getting much use. I bought the CP4500 last week and have taken a few hand-held snaps this weekend. I have followed the...
