    The only one that ever worked for me was the squirrel proof one by CJ's.

    Watching wildlife at night - night vision bins?

    Cheers guys! I ended up with the Bushnell Equino Night Vision monocular in the end. It took me a while to get used to it, but i think it will serve me well. I'd especially like to see some owls, as we have so many in Normandy - i can hear them but i can't see them... i'm hoping this will change!

    What beautiful photo's LesR, A real treat for someone like me who only gets to see them fleetingly from the kitchen window!

    Goldcrest on feeders

    Had a Goldcrest in my garden recently, although i didn't see it near the feeders. They're rare in my garden, so i was delighted.

    Saw this on Facebook and thought it rather good. I'm not sure if an extended version exists.

    Another Great Day in the Pyrenees - 2017

    I seem to remember someone saying they had to produce their Livret de Famille at the airport, but i may be remembering this wrong. What i do find odd is that if the child has the same surname then generally no paperwork is asked for, so if the childs parents happen to be unmarried then it can...

    Bear with a sore - tongue!

    Crikey, it's amazing he lasted as long as he did with his tongue like that. Good to see a happy ending.

    Another Great Day in the Pyrenees - 2017

    Welcome back to Blighty! I also travelled back from France too. I've heard there's now a ton of paperwork to present when taking kids in and out of France, and people being stopped at airports. In the U.K. no official form really exists so it's just a case of getting the other parents written...

    Protection from midges

    I'm somewhat late to the party also, but i'm also one of those people who gets eaten alive, and nothing really seems to work. I was in Naples in August and staying in a lovely old house with a terrace garden, and would happily sit out at night and would then get bitten badly on the legs...

    Watching wildlife at night - night vision bins?

    Many thanks for your reply Jurek, a quick question - a normal everyday torch with a bit of red acetate on the top, or a purpose built red torch? I know astronomers use red torches but I'm assuming they wouldn't be strong enough.

    Watching wildlife at night - night vision bins?

    Hi everyone, Apologies if this has been posted before, but I did do a quick search and nothing came up so... what would you recommend for watching wildlife at night? We have deer, wild boar, badgers and lots of owls in this neck of the woods and we'd love to see them as well as hear them. I...
