Hi, I took this shot in March, and presumed it was a female Kestrel at the time. Stumbling across the pic files by accident, Im actually wondering if this bird is a Merlin? When it comes to the females I get quite lost. Any help in confirming the bird will be great :)

Hi everyone, Took this grab-shot of a group of Black-tailed Godwits at Marshside last night. Whilst uploading the images to my pc spotted the ringed bird. Unfortunately, there should be four colour bands showing, but two are hidden by feathers. A quick internet search and email got me in...

Hi, Im needing to purchase a new pair of binoculars. I was considering the Nikon Sporters, but now believe the Monarchs are the way to go. Best price Ive seen so far is 8x36 = £127.00; 8x42 = £192.00 Is there much difference between the 36 and 42 versions to warrant the extra cash? EDIT...

Hi, For the last few hours ive been unable to view any of the forum banners or images in the gallery (also avatars and other buttons are missing) Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue?

Some great pictures are included : http://www.msn.co.uk/news/indonesianjungle/

Hi, Whilst photographing the White-winged Black Tern in Crosby, over last couple of days, i was able to get a couple of quick shots of these birds. Initially i thought they too were WWBT's then i noticed the tail shapes and marks on breast/collar, (only after uploading them to my pc) and...

Hi, Not really sure if this has been posted in correct forum. My question is, how can i remove colour casts from my images? Basically im noticing a rather yellowing effect across them. This only seems to affect my digiscoped images. I use Photo Elements 2.0 and also have Photoshop 6.0. Thanks...

Hi, Im looking at my options regarding moving into Digital SLR's. Initially, i may opt for one of the Canons, 10D or 300D, but would consider a Nikon. Is there much of a difference between these two Canons, to justify the price margin? Ive printed out the specifications for both, but was now...

Hi, As a person who has always just 'got by' in the very basics of photography, i would like to really develop in my understanding of this subject. Basically, with a little knowledge of shutter speeds and apertures I point and shoot. I now feel rather stagnant regarding my current knowledge...

Hi, Im sure you will agree, some people are more photogenic than others (im definitely one of the 'others'.... 8-P ) Even amongst birds, Ive noticed, that some seem to take a better picture than others. Shelduck always seem to be a very photogenic bird. I dont know what it is, but i always...
