    Norfolk birding

    Thanks very much. Is Titchwell as good a place as any? Probably is, just checking if there's some weird stat that things hardly ever turn up there! Cheers Oscar

    Norfolk birding

    I'm staying in Norfolk at the moment. I was at Titchwell today, and am going to get out early tomorrow morning. Is there a best place to go for rares? Cheers Oscar

    D3S or D700

    To be honest, the D7000 is a very good camera; why were you unable to get good flight shots of seabirds? If you have it with both a 300 f2.8 and 500 f4, I am not sure that one bad experience is enough to warrant spening a huge sum of money on an upgrade. Oscar

    Little Owl Nestbox

    Hi all, I am fortunate enough to be in the position where my aunt has a pair of little owls that nest very near her every year. I would like to put up a nestbox, but do not which one. Does anyone have any experience with little owl nestboxes? Thanks Oscar ;)

    Input please on upgrading from D80 to D700

    As you are doing bird photography, I would go for the D300s. I have it on a Sigma 50-500 and it performs fantastically - the quality is stunning - if you wait for a possible new camera to come out, the price of the D300s will drop. Oscar

    Help with dull image / exposure correction please?

    If you are shooting against a white sky, the exposure is verydifficult and the sky will never be flattering to the bird! Try to isolate it against a blue background such as shy. Dark grey clouds can look quite nice as well sometimes. Ths sun also helps to bring the bird out from the background...

    Ducks on water question

    Although it is a widespread belief that ducks like bread, it is not a nutritional source of food for them and so is best not to feed them with it. Have you tried using a hide to get closer to them. Also, try to shoot and the beginning and end of the day, when the light is at its best. Another...
