    Hi Clive I've taken my camera into CRD (camera repair direct) down at Dunsfold aerodrome a couple of times. Great service, pretty sure thet do lenses. Ask for Wes. Cheers Dave

    Autofocus fail for distant subjects. 7D2+5D3

    Whilst on this subject. My Mk2 won't shoot when the target isn't in focus (eg a distant dot). Seem to recall a setting for this but can't find it anywhere! It almost cost me a distant Cattle Egret a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know how to disable this feature? Cheers Dave

    Algarve Coast

    My advice would be to book Simon for a day (or half) and leave the girlfriend on the beach. That's what we did a few years ago & pretty well cleaned up :t: Dave

    Best DSLR value for money body+lens combo?

    I have the 7D mk1 & 400 & 5.6 set up. If the light is good it's a great combo. The lens I brought 11 years ago and it's still going strong. you could pick up both for less than a grand 2nd hand Dave

    http://www.birdforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=596669&d=1472474505 This one was at Tucan Marsh back in August. Didn't notice it was ringed until I checked my photos. Two or three birds there that day. Dave

    This looks like the same bird we had here back in August. We put it down as a weird LE or a hybrid given the number seen in mainland Spain over the years. Cheers Dave

    Marbled Duck I noticed from my photos that one of the Marbled Teal we had at Tucan Marsh had a colour/plastic ring. Are these escapes or is there a ringing programme on the island (or elsewhere)? See attached photo. Cheers Dave

    We were staying just past the 3km marker on the Ma-10 outside Pollenca. If you look up to your left as you travel away from Pollenca there are three obvious peaks. The nearest/lowest one is where we walked to. Below it is a small rounded plateaux (this is where two of the calling Wrynecks...

    I'm not sure which species they are, but did take some photos. They didn't seem particularly nervous of us, so I guess they may be captive. We saw three, including a well grown youngster. My mate thinks they were fallow, spotted on the hindneck area. Will post a photo upon my return to my pc...

    Our last full day on the island, back home to blighty tomorrow. We took an early morning walk up towards the peak behind our villa, didn't quite make it to the top, but plenty of birds on small plateu below it (also some deer, are these wild?). Species seen: 2 Stone Curlew 3 calling Wryneck...

    We stayed in Cala d'Or for a few days last week, didn't see much, Audouins etc. Salobrar de Campos is worth a visit (about 40 min drive) for Flamingos & many waders. You should mop up on most Herons, Swamp-hens etc at s'Albufera, but it's quite a hike from the road to the centre. Tucan Marsh...
