    Thanks everyone. That has lifted my spirits considerably! I'm shocked that you mention"suppression" Xenospesia ... I thought that only happened in Berkshire (my home area) :)

    Birding in Germany

    Hi I will "have to" spend about a year in Germany starting this Spring/Summer It's clearly a bit of a desert, judging from the lack of trip reports. I will be about 50 miles east od Dortmund, so a long way from Brandenburg's waters and cranes Any hope at all? I can't even seem to find a bird...

    Hi Can you please check Pallas's warbler on both iPhone & iPad? How do the colours compare? I've an iPhone 5 & a 2nd gen iPad. The iPad colours are pretty poor (grey/brown instead of green) The developers say it's because of different screen makers choosing different colour palettes! Cheers Jerry

    Review by 'berksbod' on item 'SlingShot 300 AW'

    From my experience this bag is just too big for the single strap design I "packed" mine with 30D, 400 5.6, + couple of smaller lenses The dody+ 400mm just about fitted in but the weight across one side of my neck caused me numbness in my shoulder and arm! The obvious solution was not to pack so...
