    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I did not really achieve any good images of any hirundines unfortunately. Very mobile and did not stick in one area for very long. My advice is to get on them in the blue sky and just hope the camera sticks onto them. If its helpful I can post the af setup I have because it does quite well when...

    Sanderlings all? – Oregon Coast, Dunes City (Siltcoos River Estuary)

    I believe all of them are sanderlings. The different colour you are seeing in the top bird is the bird moulting into summer plumage. Evan

    Reliable site for swifts around SE London/Kent?

    Hi all, I am asking on here if there are any sites around SE London or the Kent area that are reliable for swifts? I was planning on going to Walthamstow to meet up with a friend but the plans are a bit unclear so I am asking around to see if there are any sites closer to me. I'm not sure if the...

    Was thinking that you might have got the hoopoes, just the luck of the draw sadly.

    Diver ID, Reculver, Kent coast, UK, 31st March 2024

    Hi all, me and a friend had a diver heading east past reculver towers in Kent. Pretty certain its a red throated diver but it was miles out so would like confirmation. Major crop and decreased the exposure. Kind regards Evan

    Stories Behind Birds You've Photographed

    This image below is by far one of the best images I will ever get of a swallow for a long, long time. It was raining for a while which had forced down some hirundines, majority of which being swallows as well as some house martins. For around an hour I tried to achieve a decent image of one, and...

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I have finally been able to order my own R7 last night. It will probably turn up today but the adaptor won't turn up for a few days after that unfortunately, as Jessops's delivery time is "between 3-5 working days" but who knows, it could turn up tomorrow for all I know. Evan

    Binoculars around £1000

    Hello again all, I decided to go with the Opticron Aurora 10x42s. These are some incredibly good bins for the price, everything feels very well made and it feels like nothing hasn’t been made to a high standard. The binoculars came in a big box full of packing peanuts and were in their case...
