    Tomtit?

    Thank you! However South Island Robin is mentioned as "Uncommon endemic" at The Hand Guide to the Birds of New Zealand by H. Robertson & B. Heather (3rd Edition, 2015)

    Tomtit?

    Thank you! I also think that it is South Island Robin but it is uncommon bird and Tomtit was mentioned as common bird at this region - so I ask other people for their opinion.

    Tomtit?

    Please, can anybody help me with the idnetification of this bird? I supposed that it is Tomtit, however I don't see white wingbar. So it most resembles South Island Robin. I observed it at South island at Routenburn track. Thank you for help! Ivan

    Egret from Israel

    Please help me identify the small white heron from Israel - there were two on Tel-Aviv beach - one with black and one with light legs. The feathers were white with some yellow / light brown markings. The beak is yellowish. Previously, I assume these are young Little Egrets. Thank you!

    Tiritiri Matangi: Brown Teal or Auckland Island Teal?

    Thank you Dave, it was my misunderstanding - I supposed that the term "Auckland Islands" belongs to islands near Auckland.

    Brown Teal - New Zealand

    OK, probably the same birds. However - Auckland Island Teal (Anas aucklandica) or Brown Teal (Anas chlorotis)? Probably it is a question of taxonomy (Brown Teal was divided to 3 species).

    Tiritiri Matangi: Brown Teal or Auckland Island Teal?

    Sorry, but I repeated my question from forum about identification: At November I visited Tiritiri Matangi (New Zealand) and I was really exciting! I would like ask you about taxonomy/identification of Teals - especially about Brown Teal. At the leaflet of Tiriti Matangi reserve it is written at...

    Field book

    BTW http://www.bookdepository.com is really cheaper way to buy books! Sorry, it is not advertisement, I compared many possibilities for this New Zealand's birding book, such as Amazon, e-bay, NHBS, Penguin Books etc.

    Field book

    As I understand, Hand Guide: "A much smaller, cheaper book than the Field Guide, it will be attractive to a wider audience of less serious bird watchers as well as the more serious who want a more portable version...Ideal for use in the field" when Field Guide "an additional handbook section...

    Meopta Meostar S2 82 HD

    Hi Martin, enclosed you can see other photos. For me the case have minimal influence on the focus (it looks that some interference exists but it is minimal and have only slight influence). However I have to mention that nowadays version of S2 have better focussing - older one little scraped.

    stay-on case Here is a photo of my new Meopta with new design of stay-on case (I bought it at early December). The case is more usable than previous version (see removable covers of lens and ocular)

    Spottinc scope - survey

    Anders, do you think that 20-70 is better then 30-60W? It is really interesting for me - I think that I have the last few days for changing because Meopta said me that they will have 30-60 after some 1-2 weeks (maybe it is large interesting for it?). of course it is a question of magnification...

    Spottinc scope - survey

    Hello, I didn't make any "scientific" comparison. As I know from people and internet, S1 (there are two types - S1 75 and S1 75HD) is a very good scope but S2 (82 HD) is excellent (comparable to Swarovski). For the type of view (what do you think - angled or straight? there are both). For...

    Spottinc scope - survey

    Thank you very much! It's great that you have good experiences with this scope. Surprisingly, as in Czech Republic we have any advanced devices (lens, camera etc.) more expensive than in other EU countries, it is not the case of Meopta. Probably because it is Czech company. AND now I have a...

    Spottinc scope - survey

    Thank you for your response. However I think that it is not only question of money. I made a broad search at web, various reviews etc. but I think that it is interesting to know experiences of users of various scopes. The question for me is not academic. So now I made my personal decision - I...

    Spottinc scope - survey

    Results of survey is possible to see at my webpages - you can see results of two survey - at Czech republic and at the World. Briefly - winner is Swarovski (no surprise), in Czech Republic Meopta (also no surprise). Unfortunately not many people attend in these surveys. I would like express my...

    Spottinc scope - survey

    I think that in principle you could be right (expensive means great) BUT I think that many times you pay for sign and not for quality. At the list I write brands, but it means ED scopes, so high-end of scopes from each manufacturer. For all who are interested in right choice of spotting scope...
