    Yorkshire Birding

    Barnsley Starling Murmuration Not rare or anything but here's a quick shot of the Starling murmuration which is currently showing well on an afternoon near former Woolley Colliery site, Barnsley. Plenty of predator action-great to watch. All the best Mick

    Puffin photography June 2014

    I've done a few Puffin trips over the years including the Farnes & also Lunga but my personal favourite island is Skomer. To be honest you can't go wrong at any of these locations. Mick.

    Olympus OM-D EM-1

    Yes did it all via Olympus website. I notice the offer states "while stocks last" though. Hope we got in there early enough. Exiting times! The remote ipad control feature may have some birding/wildlife advantages also the focus tracking possibly. Mainly looking forward to using high iso values...

    Olympus OM-D EM-1

    Had an all too brief go with an em1 with bigma & 70-300. Seemed to focus at least as fast as my e510. Would have liked longer to be certain. Having said that....I've ordered one. Fingers crossed.
