North Norfolk coast - Last week of March
Thanks Roger and Darren Staying at the White Horse in Brancaster Staith so sounds like it will be nice to leave the car for a change and just walk from the Hotel. Any ideas if a problem re time of year - i.e. will the wintering birds have left and the summer migrants not yet have... -
North Norfolk coast - Last week of March
Managed to get a week off work have decided to spend 4 days staying at Brancaster Staith (last week in March) As relative beginner birdwatchers we would welcome advice on how to get the most out of 4 days birding in this area. Is this even a good time of year to visit? What especially... -
Wheldrake Ings
My wife and I recently joined Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and decided on Sunday morning to visit Wheldrake Ings Nature reserve. After a very pleasant walk in the November sunshine we suddenly realised how quiet it was. As we approached the hides we suddenly realised why - No water in any of... -
Fairburn Ings RSPB
Spent an excellent afternoon at Fairburn Ings yesterday. Immediatley after a couple of heavy squally showers the sun came out and had a lovely walk in the woodland area where recorded Willow Tit - (the differences between Marsh Tit were pointed out to me!) and then an hour or so in the... -
Pipits
Great views yesterday of 3 Water Pipits close to hide at RSPB Fairburn Ings in West Yorkshire. Although not a first for me - this was the best view I have ever had and able to sort clearly from Rock Pipit etc. Nice when you are not alone and experts confirm your opinion all the same!! Cheers- TimF

Canon G5
Al Got to confess - I had no idea about the size of the Leica eyepiece matching the canon lens adapter when I bought the scope! Just decided to get the scope as it seemed to fit my criteria from a viewing perspective. Thought that I would spend some time improving my birding skills before... -

Managed to track down a leica case after phoning 18 different dealers - Wilkinson Cameras in Burnley had one in - Came in post today - seems like an excellent piece of kit. Thanks to all who tried to help Cheers -
Basic bird feeding questions

Leica 62 APO

Leica 62 APO
I too bought APO 62 angled at the weekend. Been testing and deliberating for weeks and decided on bargain priced APO 77 - until last minute! - really think smaller size and weight of 62 will mean more use and therefore better value in the long run - 99% of image quality of 77. I preferred the...
