    Thanks very much! Where exactly did you hike? And do you know if the Hochalpenstrasse nearby offers the same chances on Golden Eagles and Bearded Vultures?

    Where is the best place in National Park Hohe Tauern in Austria to see Golden Eagle, Bearded Vulture and other alpine species (Snowfinch, Alpine Chouch, Rock Ptarmigan and Alpine Accentor) without much effort? Can I drive along the Hoch Alpenstrasse and watch at the view platforms and...

    Birding in The Alps

    Hi John, Thank you very much! I have been reading about Leukerfeld/Leukerbad/Gemmi pass and am much excited about your experience. Especially those alpine species can be hard, so next to a cable car to Karwendelspitze (German-Austrian border) I definitely want to go to Leukerbad and Gemmi with...

    Birding in The Alps

    Thank you very much! Will Rock Ptarmigan, Snowfinch, Alpine accentor on Karwendelspitze be most easy with the cable car up their? Or hike needed from there as well? Do you know of any reliable spots for Bearded Vulture in Valais? Will White-backed Woodpecker be hard in Murnauer Moos in...

    Stay-on case alternatives for ED82

    Sights of Nature/Kite Optics replied, but told me they don't know if there is another case that would fit the ED82, and the only option is to try it in their store, but that's in Belgium. Nikon told me they don't support their sport optics in the Netherlands, so their solution is that I send...

    Stay-on case alternatives for ED82

    Hello, I just bought myself a Nikon Fieldscope ED82 with 30x Wide DS. I am very happy with it, and have a 1 year warranty, but it came without a stay-on case or even rubber caps to protect the eyepiece and frontlens.
