    Hi everyone, Very general question, I know, but does anyone have good tips for finding gull roosts in winter? I was thinking of trying to locate one in my area to check it for rarities. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, C

    Scope advice

    Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy my first scope and would appreciate any and all advice. I'd like to keep it under 500 euro/$ if possible. It would be great to have a scope that's good for sea-watching as well as conventional birding. Any advice with this would be great. Kind regards, C

    Equipment overhaul?

    Thanks a lot for your reply! The 500mm PF looks a good lens, but it might be a bit beyond my price range right now. Also, I'm looking for something with a bigger aperture to give a nice bokeh to my photos, F4 at the very least. That's why I'm shading towards the 300mm. What do you think?

    Equipment overhaul?

    Hi everyone, I'm thinking about updating my bird photography equipment and would appreciate any advice. I currently shoot with a Sigma 150-600mm C lens on a D7200 body.
