    Canada holiday - advice please

    I am visiting Canada in late May - not all birding- I am with my wife. We have five nights in Calgary and then five in Vancouver. Any tips or advice welcome. Specifically 1) is it easy to hairs a car when in Calgary? 2) is it best to book pelagic/whale watching in Vancouver in advance or when...

    Mallorca 2019

    Just returned from a week in Puerto Pollensa - I had thought that this would be not such a good week given migration has finished, but it was really enjoyable. Bird highlights included Ruddy Shelduck, Spotless Starling, Woodchat Shrikes and Cirl Buntings feeding young, Purple Heron, Tawny Pipit...

    I saw the Ruddy Shelduck with Cristina on Saturday. Can I ask what the locals view on the provenance of this bird is please?

    Baikal teal

    Thanks for that Steve, unfortunately the bird hasn't been seen today which is a shame as it sounds like a great spot with nice back up. I am in Norfolk/Suffolk for a couple of days so will pop in if there is any positive news. Loads of birds (Black Terns and waders) pouring through Yorkshire...

    Best tripod/head for Swarovski 95

    Many thanks for all of this advice I will now take these recommendations and look for these models. I am quite tempted to go somewhere like Cley Spy and try them out. To answer some questions asked by Torchepont and others, it is the angled ATX95. I did have a super heavy Manfrotto tripod...

    Best tripod/head for Swarovski 95

    Apologies if this question has been asked and answered before. Last year I bought a Swarovski 95. Still reeling from the cost of this I bought a new, lighter tripod at the cheaper end of the scale. It is not really fit for purpose. I would now like to invest in carbon fibre tripod and a head...

    Spurn VC I share your view John, but apparently there is no right of appeal.
