    Sibley - US birds. Is this still imperial measurements only?

    Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know if the Sibley app (and book, if there is a new edition) is still imperial only? Hoped they would, by now, have a setting to change to metric for users in the rest of the world. Can't get my head around 3 3/8 oz, etc. I thought scientific subjects all...

    UK - heard at a nature reserve in Greater London 14 April 2021

    Recorded yesterday morning. This recording is quite faint I'm afraid. It needs to be listened to in a quiet environment, preferably with headphones. After the obvious, close Willow Warbler, three repeated calls can be heard in the distance. Thoughts please? Many thanks

    Newbie. Olympus LS-P4 recording not good. Do I need a better mic? Help!

    I need advice about a small mic for the Olympus. I already have the LS-P4 recorder but, at the moment, I want to record all the sounds as I do my daily walk in the wood and on the downs. I live in Surrey, near Banstead. I used an Olympus ME15 tie-pin mic (it's mono), fixed to the outside of my...

    Kenya, 3-15 Nov 2019 - 1 Amboseli

    After taking about 6000 photos on this trip, I am left with 50 or so unidentified or not sure about. These are necessarily poor record shots, but I'm hoping that more experienced eyes than mine will be able to pull some suggestions from the pixels. I'll do these in batches and I will try and...

    Madagascar, Raptor, Isalo Nat. Park yesterday

    Hi all. Sorry about the quality of this shot. A photo off the back of my camera of a distant raptor in Isalo Nat. Park yesterday. At first I thought it was a Madagascar kestrel, but the breast doesn't look right. Perhaps a juvenile? Any ideas?? Thanks, Phil.
