    Little Stint?

    Can anyone confirm if these are Little Stints? Being based in lovely landlocked Warwickshire, waders aren't my strongest subject. Taken today at Draycote Reservoir, Warwickshire, with three juvenile Ringed Plover.

    Mighty Midget 2 - what about a case?

    A question for everyone using Opticron's Mighty Midget 2 scope - what do you do about a case? I am used to having a stay on case for my main scope, which provides great peace of mind as it rattles around in the boot of my car, inside a rucksack or even just hanging off my shoulder. Now I have...

    Green energy providers

    Does anyone have any experience or views on green energy providers in the UK? I'm thinking of switching to a renewable energy provider - currently the RSPB branded Southern Electric service looks favourites. As far as I can tell I'll either make a tiny saving or a tiny loss on it - but the...

    SLR vs Prosumer - what camera will please us both?

    At the risk of being melodramatic, please help save my relationship with some sound advice on budget DSLR equipment. First the question...

    Bird races near the West Midlands?

    Does anyone know of any Bird Races coming up near the West Midlands region of the UK. As part of a charity fundraising drive at work we have all decided to look at our hobbies to see if we can do anything that might raise money. Myself and a colleague are keen birders, and thought getting...

    Timing a coastal holiday

    I am planning a coastal trip for a two-week holiday this year, exploring the UK from Lindisfarne to Cornwall, taking in Yorkshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent and other points in between. My question is this - when should I go? My local patch is Warwickshire, so in my 18-months or so birding, my...

    Chiffchaffs or Willow Warblers?

    Visited a local nature reserve this evening (in Warwickshire, UK) and watched 12 or more warblers over a pool, flying out from waterside trees, catching insects in mid-air and returning to their perches. I was totally alone, it was totally quiet, and I was engrossed for nearly an hour. It was...

    Returning to birding

    Hello from someone who knows even less about Internet forums than he does about 'little brown jobs'. I'm not at all sure what I'm doing, but I'm confident you will all forgive me a few beginner's errors (birding and computing). I've been browsing the site for a few weeks and it seems like a...
