    Birders on Vancouver Island

    Help please all you birders on Vancouver Island. I was in Victoria early August and during brief bird watching opportunity saw what I thought were Bushtits. They were quite high up in conifers and even with binos I was not completely sure of identification. There were quite a few of them - are...

    Outdoor Jackets

    Anyone ordered from these people before? Their prices seem competitive but I don't like ordering online w/out recommendations. Looking at their North Face gear (and a firm recommendation from me for North Face which I find excellent). www.outdoorkit.co.uk Nick

    Is this a Pale Flycatcher (Bradornis pullatus)? Looks about right but habitat it was photo'd in doesn't sound like usual habitat - small kopje in the Serengeti.

    Nightjar ID

    Nightjar taken on the shores of Lake Victoria, Tanzania in Aug 06. They are a nightmare for me. All the info I have seen/read leads me to think that it is probabaly a Freckled (caprimulgus tristigma) but the white throat patch seems to spread further round to the ears than in any photos/pictures...

    Tanzania 2006

    Thought I might tell readers of some of the birds that I saw during a hol to Tanzania last month. I will probably produce this over several days so if you think you have read enough let me know and I will stop. First of all, I like birds but could not describe myself as a really enthusiastic...

    Recommendations for Tanzania

    I am off to N Tanzania for 2 weeks shortly but am not sure what field guide to take. I currently own: - 1. Collins Guide by van Perlo. OK and light but not great detail. 2. Field Guide to the birds of E Africa by Williams/Arlott. I like this a lot and have used on other trips to Kenya. 3...

    Complete Novice

    I apologise in advance for the long thread, but I know that there are a lot of very knowledgeable photographers out there, and hopefully some of you can point me in the right direction. I am not a photographer, and have not owned a camera for a number of years. However, I am off to E Africa for...

    FinePix S9500

    Thinking of buying one at £380 with a 28-300lens included. I'm not too hot on cameras, so has anyone practical experience with it either good or bad. Going to E Africa this summer which is main reason for purchasing. Looking at camera mags, they seem to rate this model highly. Nick

    Swaro 7 × 50 SLC

    My local optic shop has a second-hand pair of 7 × 50 SLC for £399. Don't know how old they are but from the window they look in good condition. A few questions for anyone who does/has used them: 1. Are they good? Assume they are as they are Swaro 2. What are they like for birding as they look...

    Chinon 7 × 35

    I have a pair of Chinon 7 × 35 that my grandfather gave me 25+ years ago and that have seldom been used. Does anyone have an opinion on their quality as I can find little info on them?
