    Hello from Colorado.

    Hello Tenex and welcome. What part of Colorado are you from then? I've family living in the Springs and IMHO, one of the nicest States you can live it. Di

    Stealth Gear Trousers

    Good luck with your search Pete as I've also been trying to find somewhere that I might actually be able to try a pair of trousers on. Only having short legs, I don't want to end up returned ones that don't fit. If only Morris Photographic Centre which was close by hadn't of closed down, I...

    Insoles help foot pain?

    I suffered from plantar fasciitis recently and wouldn't want to wish that pain on anyone. Tried all the exercises advised to do, throw out no end of pairs of shoes as each one still gave me grieve. Then when we were at the Caravan show last October, I tried on pair of Sole Mates and haven't...

    Can only echo what others before have said Penny. You've provided a wonderful account both in words and photos of the devastation caused by the storm. Di

    Waterproof jacket for birding in the UK

    Hi Frootz I've got an old Lady Falcon Jacket which is fine. Got it when I first started birding but it hasn't seen much light of day recently. The smock is very comfortable and you soon forget about not having the conventional front zip style on. If you get the chance, I'd say head down to a...

    Cataract in my right eye V's birdwatching optics!

    I've got my check up next Wednesday having had my right eye done a few weeks back. I'd love them to do the left eye but don't think it is current at the level it needs to be at for surgery. I'm loving the idea of hopefully just going down to reading glasses. As Barred Wobbler has suggested...

    Chew Valley Lake

    Thanks Chris. It's a coach trip so not sure if time will allow for Ham wall but I'll suggest it for perhaps another occasion. Di

    Stone and Lichen hide

    You can get them much cheaper from www.wildlifewatchingsupplies.co.uk as well. Light and small enough to have rolled up in any rucksack. Di

    5 red kites in one field

    They are a wonderful bird to watch. After I've done an airport run this Saturday, I'm planning on stopping off at Watlington hill to get my fix of them. Di

    Pub accommodation/B&B

    We've previously used the Sandringham caravan site as a base but the MuchBeloved doesn't want to head out that way again this year so I have a leave pass for early September myself. Just wondered if anyone could recommend any pubs or cheap B&B to say in? Will be trying to cover the usual areas...

    Canon 7D advice please!

    Thanks for the details Leigh. I figured that using C3 would be the most one to use for flight shots. Twist til the end and I won't end up on the wrong setting. Now just need to get out and use it. Di

    Canon 7D advice please!

    Don't wish to hijack Penny's thread but with Leigh mentioning a profile for birds in flight, I'd be interested to hear of the settings you're used. I've only had my 7d for 3 weeks now so still learning about it. Hope you get it sort Penny. Di
